Offers good endpoint protection but their technical support is lacking
Pros and Cons
    • "Technical support is very very slow. There is no French support. Only English. The experts are in England, the United States, or Japan, I don't know where. So the support is really lacking."

    What is most valuable?

    I think the classic product, which is the endpoint protection, and the antivirus and security suite for the endpoint are all good.

    What needs improvement?

    They have gateway protection for emails, but they're not good enough. They really have to improve it. They really have to improve it because it produces many false positives with spam.

    The pricing can always be improved upon. Newly added features should be free.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using the solution for almost three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I find the solution is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I don't have much experience on the scalability but processes and functionality but we have made some tests and some proof of concept to the data link prevention and it works good and it was easy to configure. But it did not expand to other functionalities, like mobile endpoint etc. We don't have such usage here. We're a small company. We have 230 users.

    How are customer service and support?

    Technical support is very slow. There is no French support. Only English. The experts are in England, the United States, or Japan, I don't know where. So the support is really lacking. We'll have to fight against the false positives, that's a little bit hard.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was straightforward. It's easy.

    What about the implementation team?

    We had integrators the first time but we continued on our own.

    What other advice do I have?

    I think the solution is a classic, really basic software. It's good enough. The footprint on the computer is not very heavy, it's not heavy at all and I think it has a good signature database. From holistic function, it gives a good enough performance.

    I think they have additional features but not for the new products with new licenses and all the new protections like the EDL or remediation. I think they added new features, but you have to pay, they did not just scale the basic product but I think it's about marketing and income.

    I would recommend this product for endpoint protection. Not for the hosted email security and other services on the emails.

    I would rate this solution at seven our of 10.

    Stable, scalable and can easily be installed remotely or through dedicated tools
    Pros and Cons
    • "The solution is stable and integrated into the system quite well."
    • "The technical support could have better response time."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use the latest version. 

    The solution handles all the necessary functions. These include machine learning, which is quite useful. The updates are constantly serviced and, as the solution is stable, it is updated daily. 

    What needs improvement?

    The technical support could have better response time. It is quite time consuming and takes a day for them to get back to us. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Trend Micro Apex one for a couple of years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is stable and integrated into the system quite well. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is scalable and its deployment varies with the server and license. 

    How are customer service and support?

    The technical support could have better response time. It is quite time consuming and takes a day for them to get back to us. 

    How was the initial setup?

    From the manager's vantage point, the solution has a straightforward setup for the user. It's quite easy. 

    The time the deployment takes is minimal, this process varying with the agent involved. 

    What about the implementation team?

    The installation can be done remotely. There are many options available, including dedicated tools for the deployment. 

    There are only two or three people needed for the deployment who are referred by the end user. They consist of managers, manager segments and engineers. 

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Our organization did not evaluate another solution prior to going with Trend Micro Apex One. 

    What other advice do I have?

    We are talking about the smart scan, office scan. 

    The solution is integrated in the system quite well. 

    There are around 400 users making use of the solution in our organization. 

    I would, indeed, recommend the solution to others. 

    Trend Micro Apex One constantly provides us with updates and affords the systems good protection, so I rate it as a ten out of ten. 

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    Responsive technical support, reasonably price, but lacking performance
    Pros and Cons
    • "I have opened three tickets with the technical support and they were responsive and asked me to send them my logs."
    • "In the future, the solution should include the XDR feature."

    What needs improvement?

    When Trend Micro Apex One detects malware it should take action immediately. For example, detection and deletion.

    The end-user at times experiences slow performance on their work station, this should improve.

    In the future, the solution should include the XDR feature.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for approximately one month.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have opened three tickets with the technical support and they were responsive and asked me to send them my logs.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I was previously using Trend Micro Worry-Free Business and I switched because Trend Micro Apex One has more features.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The price of the solution is reasonable.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Trend Micro Apex One a seven out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Stable, straightforward to set up, and reasonably-priced
    Pros and Cons
    • "This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it."
    • "The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."

    What is our primary use case?

    We are using this product for endpoint protection on all of our workstations and servers.

    What is most valuable?

    We are using this as an antivirus solution and all of those features are helpful.

    What needs improvement?

    The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    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.

    Good support, reasonably-priced, and we are fully satisfied with the functionality
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable feature is Vulnerability Protection."
    • "We are completely satisfied with the functionality of the product, but the reporting should be more granular."

    What is our primary use case?

    There are multiple components to our use case and one of them is the anti-virus.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable feature is Vulnerability Protection.

    What needs improvement?

    We are completely satisfied with the functionality of the product, but the reporting should be more granular.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We have been using this solution for the last three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    There have been limitations at times.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We have more than 3,000 users.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    Technical support is good.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was straightforward. It was not complex.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    Compared to other products on the market, I think that the pricing is reasonable. We are satisfied with the licensing model.

    What other advice do I have?

    Depending on the requirement, I would recommend this solution, although it should have more granular reporting.

    I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

    Good for patch management and protecting against vulnerabilities with the capability to expand
    Pros and Cons
    • "It is available on our OS platform and will automatically scan our machines daily or weekly."
    • "Sometimes HTTPS sites are not blocked properly."

    What is our primary use case?

    I have multiple enterprise customers in India, and I am working with multiple regions, like Asia, Indonesia, and Singapore. Many customers are using this endpoint solution. It is widely used by customers.

    Apex One has multiple features and use cases including internet protection, web reputation, URL filtering, firewalls, and anti-malware functioning. There's virtual patching and it can help us to prevent exploitation attacks. They can help you to patch vulnerabilities on the machines.

    How has it helped my organization?

    The solution has helped our organization by protecting our endpoints from malware and web threats. It also helps us to block ports and provides features like IPS. IPS has multiple signatures and rules which can help us to patch vulnerabilities. 

    It is available on our OS platform and will automatically scan our machines daily or weekly. It also provides an EDR option. With EDR, we have DLP and application control as well, so we have lots of features that we can use to protect our endpoints from ransomware and phishing attacks.

    What is most valuable?

    The solution is good for patch management and protecting against vulnerabilities. It's great for protecting endpoints. 

    It is easy to set up the solution.

    Technical support is helpful.

    It's quite stable and reliable.

    We can scale the product.

    What needs improvement?

    There are some limitations, including around URL filtering. Sometimes HTTPS sites are not blocked properly. The proper display of the page is not properly working. We're putting in a feature request and hopefully, it will be resolved next quarter.

    Feature-wise, pretty much all features we need are present. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using the solution for more than two years. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

    I'd rate the stability eight out of ten.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is scalable. We can expand our licensing or hardware if we need to grow.

    I'd rate the scalability ten out of ten.

    How are customer service and support?

    We can raise a ticket with support and usually get a response within eight hours. There's a bit of a time difference. They are good. We find them helpful and responsive. 

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is very, very straightforward. It is available under two offerings. One is on-premise, where we have to install the server and database. The other is the cloud. In the cloud, we have to just create our account, and we can just start using it.

    The cloud option is very easy, and there is no need to maintain the server and no need to install anything. It will just create an account, and we can start using it within ten minutes. At the same time, the on-premise will take two or three of us to deploy it. We have to create three servers and then database services, and we have to install the application over that. It will take some time. Both are straightforward. They have created a guide for installation. If we follow the guide properly, we can get it installed properly.

    There isn't a lot of maintenance needed for the cloud solution. If we choose an on-prem deployment, we will have to maintain the server and database. We also have patching from time to time, which we also have to test. On the cloud, the backend team handles any necessary maintenance.

    What other advice do I have?

    We're partners. 

    I'm working with the latest version of the solution. 

    I'd recommend cloud deployment as it is so fast to set up and easier to maintain.

    I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

    No down time for updates because of the cloud; work stations can be updated externally
    Pros and Cons
    • "No down time in terms of the backend having to be updated because it's on cloud."
    • "Some of the updates still require a complete reboot of the system."

    What is our primary use case?

    We have been a Trend client for some time and we looked at this product as the next evolution. We had servers on-prem to manage our Trend install and we went with the Apex One real-time monitoring solution. Being cloud-based meant we didn't have to worry about upgrading the backend servers. We could also be sure that the regular disk came down to the components and that they will update properly on each one of our devices. We are customers of Trend and I'm the manager of our company. 

    What is most valuable?

    The nice thing about this product is that there is no down time in terms of the backend having to be updated because of the cloud, so it's basically real time and the work stations can be updated externally as well. It doesn't require people being connected to the net, like our nomadic users. The client goes out and pulls the necessary updates directly from the cloud.

    What needs improvement?

    From the client perspective, there are situations where some of the updates still require a complete reboot of the system and the problem there is from an end user perspective. We have to make sure, particularly with people who work remotely, that they actually are rebooting their machines and not just putting them to sleep. If the updates didn't require rebooting that would make a big difference. 

    I'd like to see a single back pane between the end points as well as on the service side of things. I know they're working on that at the present time and it will be great when it's done.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We've been using this solution for some time. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability is good and there's a better capture rate in terms of reporting as well, because now you get to see all your machines in and out of your network.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It's a very scalable solultion, more so now that it's not dependent on my back end.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    We use the support and find them quite good. I have someone who deals with the tickets that arise out of Apex One. We have set up a system where anytime there's an issue, virus or whatever, the back end will let us know what was done on a particular machine and it can be validated once the process is complete. We get notifications into our ticketing system if any work has been done. The support for implementation is also good, and they're very responsive. If you have an issue with any kind of malware, they help with that too. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.
