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.
John Trembly - PeerSpot reviewer
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 I can't leave the testing phase for an extended period because I still have outdated agents that need to be updated.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

"You can scale the solution to different versions."
"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"​Very straightforward and very easy to implement.​"
"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."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"I believe that optimization is a really good feature on the front side."
"The nano protection and device control are great."
"The scalability is perfect."
"This solution protects us from virus attacks before they affect the organization."
"Before Apex One, we used OfficeScan, which Trend Micro acquired, but it was on-prem. We were managing three or four anti-virus solutions. Apex One's cloud model allowed us to decommission the on-prem servers and consolidate. We get all the same features, and everything is upgraded automatically, so we only need to use the software."
"The solution is very simple to use and easy to deploy."
"The antivirus itself is also lightweight. It does not hamper the performance. It is not resource-hungry. It does not impact the overall performance of the device. It is just there, and it is easy to use."
"Email security is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The licensing structure could improve."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"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."
"The cost is very high."
"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."
"I would like them to separate their products into different categories, rather than putting everything in one box."
"Installation and operations may have issues on some machines owing to their configuration of the network cards as the product is a DPI driver."
"It would be better if they merge a few features into one product. For example, they have an encryption feature that is separately sold. If they could merge it with Apex One or any endpoint security solution, maybe it would also be good for the end user."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"Trend Micro Apex One can improve its vulnerability assessment and monitoring tools."
"It should have a single agent as competitors are offering."
"There is room for improvement in next-gen attacks protection."
"The menus can be more user-friendly or easier. For example, if we want to enable access to the USB ports, it should be more user-friendly. It is not easy. We need to navigate through several menus to be able to give access."
"The solution could be improved by providing better training to the vendors."
"I don't give it a perfect 10 because of the Active Directory integration. It would make things easier if the Active Directory were integrated more seamlessly."
"I think the one place where we like where they lacking is in a unified style dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"We don't pay any licensing fees."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"Trend Micro Apex One's subscription model is definitely on the expensive side."
"The licensing fee and support are bundled together."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Trend Micro Apex One is priced well."
"I think that this product is expensive."
"If I compare Trend Micro Apex One with other solutions there are a few challenges for customers who have do not need more licenses. Sometimes the customers struggle because this product is totally an enterprise solution, and the price for the licenses can be expensive for individuals or small organizations."
"The pricing is reasonable and depends on user count."
"The license is expensive but it is a complete solution."
