High availability, effective VPM, and responsive support
There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue.

Provides a single dashboard, integrates well, and has predictive machine learning
Microsoft's new Azure Code Signing is causing a lot of issues for us with One Endpoint Security. We currently have two systems in operation, on-prem and SaaS, and many of the agents won't upgrade beyond version B11564 because these newer versions require Azure Code Signing compliance on the endpoint. If we are not up to date with our Windows updates, we don't have this compliance. Irrespective of the Windows version we are running, we have to apply patches to the machines, if the OS is not damaged, to make them compliant. After that, we can upgrade to the latest version of the respective agent. This process also applies to both Deep Security and Workload Security. I have two production servers: one for Windows and another for Mac. These servers are available in both on-premise and SaaS versions. Additionally, I have a test server that is located on-premises. The significant distinction with the SaaS version is the absence of a test server where I can install a new version. This means I can't allow the agents on it to upgrade and then perform testing. In contrast, with the production SaaS version of One Endpoint Security, I have numerous agents transitioning and coming online. It's essential that these agents upgrade to a newer version. Among these agents, there are five or six different versions, not counting the really old ones that have yet to upgrade due to ACS non-compliance. I can't leave the testing phase for an extended period because I still have outdated agents that need to be updated. These agents can't be left hanging while I wait to test the newest version that has just been released. New versions seem to come out every couple of months in the SaaS environment. In the past, when I solely used the on-premises version, I would review security bulletins for the SaaS version to identify any issues. I'm apprehensive about potential future situations involving this, primarily because the majority of our agents now operate on the cloud version. If a problem is discovered, rolling back on those agents would be challenging. It would require careful operation to revert them to a different version. The on-premises version of One Endpoint Security has an update function that allows us to manually update a bunch of servers. For example, if I just turned on a policy, I can force the agents to quickly download the policy and start following the update procedure or update settings. However, this function is not available in the SaaS version. This is because the system cannot communicate with the agent through the firewall. The SaaS version has an automatic update function and an update source entry in the update agents sub-menu, but it does not have a way to force agents to update. This is a problem because we cannot automatically update the agents. We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command. Currently, we have no choice but to wait until the agents find the updates themselves.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"Trend Micro gave our security teams a certain degree of comfort by just having it in the background, as they have familiarity with the product."
"Automated virtual patching is a good feature."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a firewall-based solution. We just open the required reports to the server—to server communication—and that's how we use Deep Security."
"The most valuable and advanced feature of the solution is the ability to check vulnerabilities."
"Apex One offers a lot of bang for your buck. It includes an antivirus solution, DLP, app control, and all the other features found in endpoint protection solutions like Microsoft Defender. Many other solutions require additional licenses for different operating systems, but Trend Micro software bundles everything."
"It has the ability to share, which is not available in other products."
"Its database is better than most of the endpoint protection solutions."
"I like One Endpoint Security's playbooks because they make it easier to set rules and policies. You can customize the playbooks and use them in more than one company. If you manage multiple businesses, it's a great way to set separate policies for each group. You can check for vulnerabilities, attacks, bugs, or anything strange. It also allows you to conduct performance analysis."
"I think this is the best solution in the category of endpoint protection, it's really excellent. It's better than McAfee."
"Device control works well, and the anti-malware updates are also pretty good. Every two or three weeks, you get updates. The frequency of the release of new definitions is quite good. We had peace of mind."
"I use Trend Vision One Endpoint Security for work control, application control, firewall, whitelist and blocklist filtration, analysis, monitoring, deep security for the servers, major monitoring, and IPS modules."
"I have opened three tickets with the technical support and they were responsive and asked me to send them my logs."
 

Cons

"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"Their support should be improved. We need support in the UAE, but it is always going to some other country or region, and the time schedule is not suitable for us."
"The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher."
"I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios."
"It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products. This should be in the road map because we have a lot of SaaS-based appliances which are not connected with each other."
"We want to see improved authentication."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"I would like them to separate their products into different categories, rather than putting everything in one box."
"The solution could be more proactive by using AI to assess the production landscape and compete with other products."
"The alert, or warning function, needs to be improved."
"Apex One's threat and vulnerability management has room for improvement."
"The customization has room for improvement."
"I'd like to see the different interface components combined into one, or be allowed to get to the agent management portion without having to log into the main console."
"Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster."
"They need to integrate the DLP with the EDR."
"Some of our customers need to add cache file signatures in Trend Micro Apex One, but it is currently not a supported feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Some of our customers complain about the cost of this solution."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"The pricing is okay. Deep Security is single-server license-based, so it will work based on how many licenses you have procured. There is a yearly subscription for each license."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
"There is an annual license."
"Trend Micro has very aggressive pricing, but it is also very good."
"When compared to Symantec, Kaspersky, and others the price is higher, they are more expensive."
"The pricing for Apex One is midrange, and worth the costs."
"The license is expensive but it is a complete solution."
"It has a per-user license."
"Compared to other products on the market, I think that the pricing is reasonable."
"Currently, the price for Trend Micro Apex One is good and there are no extra costs attached."
