We use the solution as a central server so that clients may be deployed on their PCs.
We use it for client endpoint purposes.

Provides good reports, affording control and a birds-eye view of what's transpiring
Pros and Cons
- "We have found the reports to be most valuable."
- "Whether the license is monthly or annual depends on the deal of the company."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
We have found the reports to be most valuable. Apex Central provides good reports, affording control and a birds-eye view of what's transpiring.
What needs improvement?
The endpoints should be addressed. Occasionally, certain driver versions, such as the original PC drivers and the ones that are HP, would read something as an external threat and this would cause us problems. In reality, these were nothing more than false alarms. In a big environment, this presented an issue at the time. The issue was, in fact, internal and not external, such as that originating from a driver, like a graphics card driver, or a DLL file. Alarms were going off in all our PC's and this was a problem we encountered with a major customer of ours. However, a patch was released and the problem was dealt with.
The support could also be better.
Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that the solution is not user friendly, but some of the patches are creating problems, such as those of the driver that we are struggling to trace out.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for the past three years.

825,609 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
So far the product has proven stable and implementable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable and I plan to continue to use it in the future.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support and the extent of its knowledge should be worked on.
How was the initial setup?
The installation is very cool. It is so nice.
It took 20, perhaps 40, minutes.
The technical team needed for the deployment and maintenance can vary. It depends on the company's environment, or the project or contract involved. I am not referring to the 20 permanent users I mentioned but to the customers, the clients. The number may be 18, it may be 15. It varies.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It used to be that the customer had to pay for licensing fees. Sometimes he dealt directly deal with our company and at other times with that of Trend Micro, which would have dealings with us.
Whether the license is monthly or annual depends on the deal of the company. When a company is international it may have a global contract that would be relevant. Otherwise, the deal may vary according to the country or partner involved.
What other advice do I have?
Trend Micro Apex One is a good product, with the inclusion of more features.
Some projects will involve the implementation of the solution and others will be upgraded versions from OfficeScan to Trend Micro Apex One or Apex Central. Our control manager has switched to Apex Central. Sometimes a small company will be involved and at other times the implementations.
The solution is both cloud-based and on-premises.
We have around 20 customers using the solution.
I rate trend Micro Apex One as an eight out of ten.

Senior Consultant- Information Security at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Provides antivirus precautionary care and antivirus solutions
Pros and Cons
- "The DDAN and the sand boxing features are very good and accurate."
- "I am expecting an Apple featured IDLP solution with OfficeScan, where we have only IDLP. Also, the ADR functionality in our Office Scan solution would be a nice addition. Genrally, the ADR solutions are the only failed ends of the solutions we have found with Trend Micro."
What is our primary use case?
We use this solution daily. It provides us with 99% of antivirus precautionary care and prevention of email threats.
How has it helped my organization?
We use several Trend Micro solutions. We use Trend Micro OfficeScan, DDM and DDI. We are also using IMSVA and WSVA for email security and web security. After deploying OfficeScan, we have found more detections of possible virus attacks.
What is most valuable?
The DDAN and the sandboxing features are very good and accurate.
What needs improvement?
I am expecting an Apple featured IDLP solution with OfficeScan, where we have only IDLP. Also, the ADR functionality in our OfficeScan solution would be a nice addition. Genrally, the ADR solutions are the only failed ends of the solutions we have found with Trend Micro.
For how long have I used the solution?
Three to five years.
How are customer service and technical support?
Tech support needs improvement. We raised certain cases regarding a lag in terms of a solution, and the response time was slow.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used McAfee and Symantec.
How was the initial setup?
It was initially straightforward. It took multiple phases.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing and licensing are competitive with other solutions on the market.
Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer: I am a reseller.

What about the implementation team?
Our clients generally do not have to do any maintenance because everything is updated through the Trend Micro Smart Protection Server.

A stable and lightweight solution that helps to protect our clients proactively
Pros and Cons
- "This solution protects us from virus attacks before they affect the organization."
- "The alert, or warning function, needs to be improved."
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case for this solution is protecting clients. We have an on-premises deployment.
How has it helped my organization?
This solution protects us from virus attacks before they affect the organization.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of this solution is the threat protection functionality.
What needs improvement?
The alert, or warning function, needs to be improved. Two days ago I received an email from the system regarding an incident that was detected with a client who received a great deal of spam, in excess of forty-five thousand emails.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I think that the stability of this solution is very high. It is always running and it doesn't abuse system resources.

This solution is extremely scalable.
How are customer service and technical support?
I have not contacted technical support for this solution.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
At my previous job, I used Norton (Symantec). When I changed companies I started using this solution, by Trend Micro.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of this solution is extremely simple. It is deployed from our SCCM solution, so it happens automatically.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I think that this product is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
This is a product that I recommend, as it does exactly what it's supposed to do.
The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this solution is that it's difficult to always be one step ahead of the guys that are introducing malware, but I think that Trend Micro is doing a good job. They are always updating their product.
Overall, I am very happy with this solution, and it does what is advertised.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
Assistant Manager at Virus Rescuers
A solution with a good selection of features, but product performance needs improvement
Pros and Cons
- "The product offers almost all of the features the client expects from such a solution."
- "Product performance needs improvement. Customers face the same performance issues on the endpoint of the product. We need improvement on that side."
What is most valuable?
The product offers almost all of the features the client expects from such a solution. What they have in the product should work fine without it affecting the system performance.
What needs improvement?
Product performance needs improvement. Customers face the same performance issues on the endpoint of the product. We need improvement on that side.
Trend Micro needs to include the OfficeScan application control and protection all in one agent. That application control is not properly working, it is affecting the system performance. When we enable that particular functionality, it doesn't load on the machine. We need improvement on that side of it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been working with the solution for four years.
How are customer service and technical support?
I haven't received any feedback in regards to technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have previously worked with Symantec. Since we are a reseller we work with all three of these products.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Licensing costs happen on a yearly basis. The costing is average. They're not the most expensive solution, but they aren't cheap either. There aren't any other costs beyond the yearly licensing fee.
What other advice do I have?
We are a reseller so we recommend the product to our clients.
We work with the public cloud deployment model with Trend Micro as the provider of the cloud.
I would rate the solution 7.5 out of ten.

Network Administrator at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
Scalable and stable, but they need to include the IBS feature
Pros and Cons
- "It's a stable solution, to date we have not had any issues."
- "The most valuable feature is that it's normal, and not for a specific server."
- "In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
- "In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is that it's normal, and not for a specific server.
What needs improvement?
Trend Micro is a basic solution, but the problem is that it is more exclusive.
There are two products, one is for the endpoint for the client, and the other is for the sever, but the server is even more exclusive.
There are some features that are not available in OfficeScan. For example, IBS.
In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with OfficeScan for more than two years.
We are using version 11.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's a stable solution and to date, we have not had any issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
OfficeScan is scalable, we have not experienced any issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, I was working with Trend Micro, but recently we have signed with SentinelOne.
What about the implementation team?
We contact our local partner, who is responsible for the setup and deployment.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate OfficeScan a five out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud

The solution is quite scalable. It's easy for a company to expand it out if they need to.
How was the initial setup?
Due to the solution's general user-friendliness, the initial setup is not too complex. It's pretty straightforward.
What other advice do I have?
We're just a customer. We don't have any professional relationship with the company.
We're using the latest version of the solution.
Apex One is the best solution for endpoint security due to its many wonderful features, and fast data protection.
On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate the solution at a ten.

Technical Security Consultant at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees
User-friendly, easy to implement, with excellent support and good performance
Pros and Cons
- "When comparing to other products the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement."
- "We have received many complaints about how slow the system is on the first day of implementation."
What is our primary use case?
We are system integrators and we work with many different products.
We have four to five customers that we have implemented Apex One for and everyone is quite satisfied.
Our customers are using this solution for endpoint protection.
What is most valuable?
Trend Micro is very good.
The performance is good and the control is user-friendly.
When comparing to other products, the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement.
What needs improvement?
We have received many complaints about how slow the system is on the first day of implementation.
When implementing and you don't have a third-party tool, it can be difficult. Most people are working from home and using their own network to connect to the local office, so implementing these authorities can be challenging.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for more than two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are no issues with stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's a scalable solution.
Our customers are large companies with more than 5,000 users.
How are customer service and technical support?
Customer support is excellent. They respond very quickly.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have faced some issues with McAfee.
The features in Sophos are very good and the detection capability is excellent.
How was the initial setup?
It's very easy to implement.
Depending on the customer's environment and the features they are using, it can take two to three people to maintain and manage.
If they are using the device's central application to control everything at once for more than 2,000 users then a single person can't handle all of the modules. This would then require more people for maintenance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price is very good compared to other products.
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend Trend Micro, especially if they have a low budget.
If they have a larger budget then I could suggest Sophos, which is also a very good product.
It is all dependant on the customer's budget.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
