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 I can't leave the testing phase for an extended period because I still have outdated agents that need to be updated.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

Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Apex One is the response time and detection module."
"The most favorable features have been behavior monitoring and zero-day threat protection."
"The graphical user interface is simple, making it easy to navigate without the need for additional training or complex documentation."
"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."
"It's a good solution, and they have something called Suite incorporating many, many engines like encryption, GLB, anti-virus."
"The end user perspective is very good because the solution isn't complex to learn and support is readily available."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Apex One includes a built-in fine-grained DLP solution."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"Auto-Remediation"
 

Cons

"The integration could improve in this solution."
"One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it."
"The solution could improve security. It is important to always keep the organization secure."
"The Apex One endpoint sensor has room for improvement."
"The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."
"The technical support could have better response time."
"The price is the main concern of the clients."
"We have found that this product is a bit heavy on the endpoints."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Trend Micro Apex One's subscription model is definitely on the expensive side."
"Its pricing was good. It is very competitive with all the other vendors."
"Apex One is a bit expensive, but the additional AWS costs are limited. It's competitive compared to other solutions in the market. It's a good price for the functionality that it provides."
"Trend Micro Apex One is priced well."
"Currently, the price for Trend Micro Apex One is good and there are no extra costs attached."
"There is a license for this solution and it can be paid for monthly or annually."
"I find the price of Apex One to be reasonable. The pricing varies from company to company. Your business will have a different price than what we have because the product's price depends on the number of users."
"It is a little bit more expensive than other solutions."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
