We primarily use the solution a SaaS-based service to streamline the setup, as it only requires one agent and not multiple licenses.
Technical Lead Specialist at Hitachi Systems, Ltd.
Stable and easy to set up with good flexibility
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is very simple to use and easy to deploy."
- "The integration capabilities of the solution could be improved."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
We're an integrator. We have a business relationship with the company.
Apex One is a single agent that covers most needs and has a SaaS-based model, so we do not need any in-house set up to host this application. There will be no additional charges for those types of needs in that area.
Product-wise it is perfectly fine. If you compare similar kinds of services from other competitors, you'll find you need to go for multiple licenses and multiple agents with other products. However, with Apex One, it gives one single solution, with just one agent and most of your problems are resolved. It's like a silver bullet.
The solution offers very good machine learning.
The solution is very simple to use and easy to deploy.
The solution is very flexible and works on multiple platforms as well as on servers.
What needs improvement?
The integration capabilities of the solution could be improved.
In a DLT context, the solution needs more features. The DLT needs to be more fully fleshed out. Trend Micro claims that they are security provider, not the compliance provider, and the DLT is a completely compliance-based solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
We're an integrator and have been using the solution for a while now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable. There aren't bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze on us.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In terms of scalability, it depends on what you mean. Add-on licenses are easy to implement. You can add them at any point in time and if it supports your endpoint machine, it supports other machines as well. It supports your ATM machines and it works on various platforms, including Mac and iOS. You can install it on servers as well. There's quite a lot of flexibility within the product.
Trend Micros has a pretty large customer base. I'm not sure how many people are on the solution currently. I know that a decent number of organizations are using it.
How are customer service and support?
We assist our clients in technical support as needed.
The product's technical support is also fine, as they have a completely channel-based model. In that context, you can buy from your solution provider or reseller. They, like us, will have tech support available. In our case, we have our own engineers who are trained on Trend Micro products. They are good and they're free to use for our clients.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial implementation is not difficult or complex. It's easy to deploy and quite straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
We're a system integrator. We implement the solution for our clients.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is a completely SaaS-based model.
Licensing costs depend completely on the number of users or licenses. They have a specific pricing structure. For example, if you are looking for 100 users to be on the product, in the Indian market (we're based in India), the cost is nearly $2,500 to $3,000 maximum for one three-year license. We'll usually get a three-year subscription.
What other advice do I have?
We're quite familiar and regularly work with Trend Micro products.
The solution is endpoint protection bundled with a couple of more features, with basically a lot of DLT application filtering, et cetera.
We are a system integrator. We offer tech support and help our customers. We sell Trend Micro licenses to companies.
I'd recommend the solution. It's very nice. We've supplied it to many clients with very good results. We haven't received any complaints at all and our agents are satisfied with the solution.
Overall, I'd rank it nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

PS & Technical Manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Incorporates many engines like encryption, GLB, and antivirus and has good stability
Pros and Cons
- "It's a good solution, and they have something called Suite incorporating many, many engines like encryption, GLB, anti-virus."
- "We cover many things, but there is something called ATP, advanced threat prevention. I think they need to invest in this technology."
What is our primary use case?
We deal with the on-premises deployment model of this solution.
What is most valuable?
Trend Micro covers many things. The solution right now is called EDR. It's a good solution and they have something called Suite that incorporates many engines like encryption, GLB, and antivirus.
What needs improvement?
I think if they invest in better training and training partners, it could be even better but they have good coverage here in the Middle East now, especially in Egypt. I cannot recommend something right now.
Trend Micro covers many things but there is something called ATP, advanced threat prevention and it would improve the solution if they invested in this technology.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using this solution for about one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability is good, especially for enterprise companies. Small companies are also okay. The stability is not a problem.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is okay. Our current tools are licensed with the software solution we provide. So this provides them with tools over the virtual machines they have. They can add many licenses and we can extend to a larger size.
How are customer service and technical support?
We tried to implement ourselves. Their technical support is okay.
How was the initial setup?
I work with Trend Micro as a salesman, not a technician. However, what I understood from others is that the setup is okay. It's not complex.
What about the implementation team?
I have a team to deploy this solution to customers. It takes about three engineers to deploy. Three engineers can handle implementation and maintenance at the same time.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's well priced at a yearly rate. The price itself depends on whether the solution is a full suite, half suite, or some other engine. It's different according to the consumer's requests.
What other advice do I have?
As a salesman, I encourage the customer to buy the full suite for the engines.
The biggest lesson I learned is about the EPR solution. Some people say it's easier to use this type of product. This is the next generation of antivirus technology.
I would rate this solution as seven and a half out of ten. We work with a lot of solutions, like Carbon Black, McAfee, Symantec, etc. There are features and benefits to each of these.

Head of IT at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Offers firewall protection for our web servers in production and is easy to use
Pros and Cons
- "I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations. Trend Micro is quite stable."
- "We had a few occasions where we had to turn off our clients' computers to upgrade the drivers."
What is our primary use case?
We use Trend Micro OfficeScan for endpoint and server security and protection in a small enterprise organization.
How has it helped my organization?
Other major components can be integrated with the OfficeScan solution and managed through a centralized console. We haven't started using all of them yet. We are going to use the DLP data leakage prevention component, soon. It can be added as a plug-in. It's just a separate license.
What is most valuable?
The ease of use is most valuable with Trend Micro OfficeScan. I value the security provided. We haven't had any specific incidents while using it. It's doing its primary job quite well. It is also well integrated with other Trend Micro Solutions that we use, via Trend Micro Control Manager.
I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations.
What needs improvement?
We had a few compatibility issues while updating certain drivers. We had a few occasions where we had to temporarily turn off the solution on our clients' computers to upgrade the drivers.
It's not completely the fault of the antivirus provider. The problem is with the Microsoft Windows system and the drivers themselves. It's a shared responsibility.
Trend Micro needs some kind of included warning when OfficeScan senses that somebody is updating some drivers that have known issues. I have the same problem occur also with other products, so it's not specific to Trend Micro OfficeScan. It's a typical problem.
For how long have I used the solution?
In this company, we've been using Trend Micro OfficeScan for 15 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Trend Micro is quite stable. We didn't have too many problems. There were, in the past, a few occasions where we had some problems. That was mostly related to new Microsoft Windows versions.
Lately, it's been quite stable and we are satisfied with it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
For the scalability, we are quite small. We are not a large company. We have around 60 licenses that cover both endpoints and servers (essentially, the same client is used everywhere, just the policies are different). For that number of licenses, scalability is not a problem.
How are customer service and technical support?
Their technical support is good. We didn't have many requests. I had one request recently, and it was very fast. They provided us an adequate solution.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Trend Micro OfficeScan was used from the beginning to replace some solutions. It has been used for the last 15 years. We are mostly a Trend Micro shop.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is quite straightforward. There are a lot of options after you set up the solution. After the initial setup, it's quite easy to do. It's not complex.
What about the implementation team?
We acquired it through a reseller. They are also a systems integrator. They provide other solutions and support for us. We took the Trend Micro solutions from them.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the platform a nine.

Pros and Cons
- "Stability-wise, it is a good product, and I rate it a ten out of ten."

What is our primary use case?
I use the solution to meet the requirements of our customers.
What is most valuable?
EDR is one of the most valuable features of the solution.
What needs improvement?
The solution needs to have SDR in it. So, SDR is an area where the solution needs to work and improve itself.
Since I am not working extensively with this solution, I am not in a position to comment on what other additional features need to be added to it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for five years. Also, I am using a SaaS version of the solution. My company has a partnership with Trend Micro Apex One.

I am using it for our test proposal for our proof of concept. I am using its latest version.
What is most valuable?
Its scalability and the central point of XDR so that all items are centrally reporting to one solution are the most valuable features.

How are customer service and technical support?
I have rarely been in contact with technical support, but my experience with them has been okay.
How was the initial setup?
The installation process is straightforward. We are automating it, so I am not sure of the time that it takes to deploy. Installing it is done through our group policy.
What about the implementation team?
Our organization deployed it with an in-house team before I joined.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost of this solution is mid-level; not cheap nor expensive. The subscription is paid on an annual basis.

Product Specialist at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees
Lightweight, automatically scans websites and email attachments, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
- "I can run a full scan and it won't cost too much in terms of resources, which is good."
- "I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included."
What is our primary use case?
This product is set up on our company laptops and I used it to scan files to ensure there is no virus or malware on my PC.
What is most valuable?
Sometimes when I browse to a website, there will be malicious content and it will be pointed out by Trend Micro.
This product automatically scans my email attachments to make sure that there is no malware or any malicious code.
Another advantage is that the level of resources it consumes is not very significant. I can run a full scan and it won't cost too much in terms of resources, which is good.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included. This type of module can effectively detect an attack, like ransomware. This is not something that I have at the moment.
The dashboard could be a little bit easier.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trend Micro Apex One since I joined the company, six or seven years ago. The company was using it prior to that.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This product is quite stable and reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There are between 200 and 300 users in the company.
How are customer service and technical support?

Our IT department is responsible for deployment and maintenance. They follow ISO compliance and keep the product up to date.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.
