Trend Vision One Endpoint Security Reviews

It's used as antivirus protection on the endpoints.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

It's stable and reliable. 

The solution can scale. 

I can't think of any specific areas that need improvement. 

I've been using the solution for a couple of years. 

The solution has been stable and reliable. The performance is good. there are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It is a scalable solution. If you need to expand it, you can.

We have around 10,000 users on the solution at this time. 

I'm not sure if our team has ever used technical support. I've never contacted them directly.

Trend Micro's been in our company for quite some time. Apex, under the new name, is the latest. Before that, it was OfficeScan, which was Trend Micro as well. We've likely used Trend Micro for a decade.

It's an easy product to set up, from my understanding. I don't recall discussing any complexities during implementation. The deployment likely took less than a month. It doesn't take too long. 

At this point in time, just a couple of engineers are needed to manage the solution.

Our team handled the setup process. We did not use an integrator or reseller. 

We've likely experienced an ROI while using the solution.

I'm not familiar with the licensing costs. They are a part of our enterprise agreement.

I'm not sure which version I'm using at the moment. I don't directly manage the solution at the moment. 

Potential new users need to evaluate their licensing cost and the solution, whether it checks all the boxes and has all the features they need.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We use Apex One for endpoint security on our laptops, desktops, etc. 

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.

Trend Micro only launched Apex One maybe two or three years ago, and we've been using it for about a year or so. 

Apex One is stable. 

Apex One is scalable. 

Setting up Apex One was straightforward. When we moved from on-prem OfficeScan to Apex One, that migration was also smooth. We didn't need to do much. Usually, on-prem to cloud migration takes a lot of research and planning. Apex One installation is practically automatic, so it didn't take that much effort. We migrated the endpoints from on-prem to the cloud without much manual work. 

We had the help of an integrator. Our in-house team has about eight to 10 people plus Trend Micro's account manager and the integrator. 

We renew our license for Apex One annually.

I rate Trend Micro Apex One nine out of 10. 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. 

We currently have limited users, less than 100. We have found it difficult to manage users who are working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Trend Micro Apex One has been a good option to update policies. I change the policy on the cloud so that it will be drilled down or updated automatically on the laptops when the users connect to the internet.

It has been very useful, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when so many users are working from home. Trend Micro Apex One has enabled us to easily update policies on the cloud so that they will be drilled down or updated automatically on the laptops when the users connect to the internet.

I'm using the cloud solution, which I really like. I like being able to update policies on the cloud so that when users who are working from home connect to the internet, their laptops will be updated automatically. I also like that this solution is easy to use and is stable and scalable.

In the case of ransomware files, artificial intelligence is used in some places to start encrypting the files. I like the fact that Trend Micro Apex One has an option to restart the process and back up the files that are being encrypted.

More integration with different platforms would be great, as everyone seems to want the solution to integrate with each team.

We have been using this solution for a couple of years.

I feel that it is a stable solution that is easy to use as well.

I think Trend Micro Apex One is scalable. Right now, we have limited users, under 100.

We have been using Symantec End-User Endpoint Security and added Trend Micro Apex One to our environment.

Installation is very simple when a web portal is available. You can log in and create the policy. The initial setup process took about one to two hours. 

I was able to implement it myself with the help of the vendor.

The setup is easy, and if your servers are managed on the cloud, you won't need to hire additional staff for deployment and maintenance.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Trend Micro Apex One at nine. If you are looking for a data solution along with the end point, this would be an option to consider. 

Also, Trend Micro Apex One has DLP options.

The primary use case of the solution is for endpoint protection.

I genuinely enjoy the script and I find Trend Micro to be more user-friendly, as it requires only two administrators.

The big issue that I have is the edge agent, of course, Trend Micro has a larger database making it easier to find information.

I believe that optimization is a really good feature on the front side.

The customization has room for improvement.

I would like to have the ability to see what files are being scanned live.

I have been using the solution for almost three years.

I give the stability a nine out of ten.

I give the scalability a nine out of ten.

We previously used Microsoft Defender and Broadcom Symantec. Trend Micro Apex One is more complete and has a better layout.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to deploy the code. I give the initial setup an eight out of ten.

The deployment is quick.

The implementation was completed by a third party.

The license is expensive but it is a complete solution.

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

I recommend the solution to others because Trend Micro Apex One provides good protection.

We use Apex One for security purposes. We have installed Apex One agents on 1,900 laptops and desktops. We use all the modules that are available in Apex One.

We have seen a reduction in viruses and malware since moving to Apex One.

Apex One is very good for threat detection and removal and scanning purposes. It has advanced protection capabilities that adapt to protect against unknown and stealthy new threats. These capabilities are definitely important for us.

It can detect ransomware with runtime machine-learning capabilities. It has the capability to detect ransomware-related threats as well.

Apex One can be integrated with other security products.

They provide virtual patching to protect against vulnerabilities even before a patch is available for the source of the issue.

Its threat-hunting capabilities and the information about the known threats are the most available features. It can easily catch any threat in our environment. If you have applied policies and rules, it quarantines or mitigates a threat. It is a very good feature in Apex One. 

Apex One is easy to learn. It is not complex.

We sometimes face issues with policies and rules while working with Apex One. They sometimes do not work.

When we implement an application policy for application control, sometimes, users are not able to access other applications. We apply the policy to a specific application, but it gets applied to all applications. We have found such issues, so the application module or application rules need to be improved in Apex One.

I have been using Apex One for five years. I have been using it in my current company for four years, and I also used it in my previous company.

There is downtime, but it is minimal.

Their support is very good. Whenever we need their help, we raise a ticket, and we get a response within one or two hours. We get a very good response from Trend Micro support. I would rate them an eight out of ten.

Positive

I have previously used McAfee. 

It is on-prem as well as on the cloud. I was involved in its initial deployment, but it was four years ago. It was simple. It was not too complex.

In terms of maintenance, it does require maintenance. 

We got help from Trend Micro. There were two people in total. I and one person from Trend Micro were involved in its deployment.

You need certain skills and a certain amount of knowledge to work with this solution because a lot of things are there. I have been working with Apex One for about five years, and it has been good so far. It is very easy to use, and it gives good protection from threats. I would recommend it to others.

Overall, I would rate Apex One a nine out of ten.

We use Trend Micro Apex One for endpoint scanning.

They have a wide range of products, including a couple for virtual patching, which is very important. They also have, cloud-based sandboxing options.

I would like to see the initial setup simplified to make it less complicated, and the price reduced.

Normally, I've seen the price of any antivirus for the first year where they will give you a free price comparison and a discount of 30%, 40%, but the second year, after renewal, they'll give you the normal standard list price.

I have been working with Trend Micro Apex One for more than three years.

We work with on-premises solutions. There is no option for cloud solutions by default.

We are using the latest version.

Trend Micro Apex One is very stable.

I have a very small network of 152, and I expect it to be scalable. People are using it at 3,000. You go as you need more.

We had 140 to 170 or 200 users, but have had to cut back due to the pandemic. It's now between 140 and 150.

We intend to increase our usage by another ten or fifteen percent in the future.

There will always be problems to fix, but once it's stable, it's stable. For the first three months, there is always the fixing of problems and getting updates.

I am also working with Symantec Endpoint Security. I started using Trend Micro Apex One because Symantec was acquired by another company, and I was looking for a change.

It is not as simple as it appears, but there are numerous options available. They include mobile security, as well as many other features. So you'll need some tricky options such as the use of servers and other such things. It isn't as straightforward as Symantec. 

When I use Symantec, it's simple, but Trend Micro has a lot of features, such as DLP, security, cloud sandboxing, and more. It requires the use of three or four servers.

The initial setup and consult will take one or two days, but the deployment for the branches will take five to seven days. In total it can take up to 20 days to move the package.

We have a technical team of two administrators who maintain this solution,

We completed the implementation ourselves.

The price is very high in comparison to EDR, XDR, and MDR. The pricing is quite high. 

When compared to Symantec, Kaspersky, and others the price is higher, they are more expensive. 

It is possible that it is more expensive because they only provide the solution on-premises.

Licensing fees can be paid yearly or with an option for three years.

We have a three-year perpetual license that is set to expire in May. We are considering renewing the license or exploring other market options.

My three-year contract expires in May, and I am just looking into other endpoint and EDR solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Trend Micro Apex One an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is for protecting the computers from viruses.

This product is stable and scalable; it's on the cloud so it's very easy to use. 

I'd like to see extra dashboards and more analytics. 

I've been using this solution for about eight years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup is very easy, I deployed myself together with an assistant and I estimate it took us around 10 minutes per computer. We probably have around 150 users. 

We pay the license on a quarterly basis - sometimes we need to review a few details.

I rate this solution a 10 out of 10. 

Our business is what you would call national key infrastructure so if anything happens to our business we will have a major economic impact for Africa. From that point of view, we cannot afford for anything to go wrong with our endpoints networks. Our primary use case is to have a best of breed endpoint response rate. 

From a technology point of view, it is very simple to install, it's not heavy on the endpoint in terms of the amount of processing cycles. It is simple to deploy and the interfaces are easy. You don't need to be a scientist to operate it. 

Then the other things that are really just as important as the technology like the people behind it. When you look at it from a support perspective, the Trend Micro people are exceptionally passionate about their business and their products. That translates into phenomenal service that you get, which I haven't experienced with any of the other vendors at this point in time.

I think the one place where we like where they lacking is in a unified style dashboard. We've got multiple reporting in all the various components, but they need something to tie all of it together. There's deep discovery, deep security, and we've got a lot of different layers, and then we need something to tie all of this back together from an MIS point of view. I think that's the one place Trend Micro can spend a little bit more time on. But operationally, it's phenomenal.

I have been using this solution for five years. 

The scalability of the solution is phenomenal. We started looking at things like Apex One in the cloud and it's amazing when we're looking at it from a commercial perspective, it makes a lot of sense and because you don't have to rely on maximum infrastructure in terms of your service and distribution boxes and all these other things that you traditionally would have. From that point of view as it's chalk and cheese against the competitors. Also, the organization's willingness to partner with you- it's not just somebody coming to do a sale, it's like a family and they actually mean it.

They provide me a SOC service on the backend. We partnered locally with Trend SA and that's one of the major reasons why the product is phenomenal is because of the technical support. 

I can pick up the phone and I can phone the global CEO of the organization. That's the level of commitment that Trend Micro put into their products versus Symantec, Kaspersky or McAfee.

When you started doing some of the advanced things, it becomes a bit more complex when you start running the mobile device management and we're doing Apple enrollment because Apple is so difficult for the enrollment features. So when you're doing stuff like that and you're running it across the internet, that's got a fair bit of configuration that you need to know. Partnering becomes equally as important as the tool. With the right partners. 

The price point is exceptionally competitive. And I find that in most cases it's actually better than the competition. When you start looking at everything that you're getting and you're lumping all of the stuff together, it is exceptionally competitive. It is not a cheap solution so if you want cheap, then you go with another solution. But from a corporate perspective, I think they are exceptionally reasonably priced. So much so that I think the displacing of the technology is going to be detrimental to any business because you're going to end up buying a much more inferior product.

I would rate Trend Micro a ten out of ten. 

The only thing that I would be presumptuous enough to tell Trend Micro they need to improve is that they need to have a bold interface for a C level executive so that they can look at a screen and see the holistic picture of what the state is giving them.
