Deputy Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Experience seamless integration and effective dashboard while considering improved EDR configuration support
The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution. They should create some KB articles for the granular exclusion from different platforms and improve their technical assistance support.

Cyber Security Senior Technical Consultant at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Built faster threat response and improved visibility with real-time monitoring and flexible deployment
TrendAI Vision One allows us to monitor attacks in real time, which is a significant benefit. We can quickly see where the attack is coming from. TrendAI Vision One enables us to use different products with a flexible license. For example, if a customer is using endpoint security and wants to switch to another solution, they can instantly use a different Trend Micro product, such as email. TrendAI Vision One has helped to reduce the time to detect and respond to different threats, as it can respond to attacks very quickly. With playbook templates, in cases of recurring attacks, responses can be made quickly using predefined playbooks. TrendAI Vision One has helped to reduce noise from false positives. There have been false positives before, but it was due to the customer not telling us which app they were using. Best practice configurations must be applied properly to avoid such issues. TrendAI Vision One helps customers consolidate the use of security vendors and reduce silos by offering one platform for all product management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Cymulate, the best features are the capacity to test the EDR or malware, anti-malware solution."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"Drilling down further, we can analyze how our users are utilizing their workstations, including the websites they visit."
"In terms of ROI, TrendAI Vision One provides a better return on investment compared to Trend Micro, as it offers multiple solutions that yield more security and a better security posture compared to third-party solutions."
"Trend Vision One helped reduce the time to detect and respond to threats by 70% to 80%."
"Trend Vision One provides centralized visibility and management across protection layers, which is crucial for compliance."
"They were one of the companies, early on, that spent a lot of time integrating their toolsets, and I was really impressed with that... the endpoint management system could reach out to the Deep Discovery system on the network and pick up something that it perceived as a suspicious object."
"I can prevent my environment from different types of attacks based on what I see in the Vision One console."
"Trend Vision One helps reduce my mean time to detect and respond to threats as without it, we would be scrambling and confused with not much information to go off of for threat hunting."
"The most valuable feature is the network protection shield on every server, which isolates attacks and prevents our clients from being affected."
 

Cons

"We have had some trouble with the agents."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution."
"Troubleshooting the disconnectivity of the agent is a bit of a difficult task because the server might have connectivity with the portal and agent services will be working fine, but still it shows disconnected on the portal."
"Some improvements could be made, but all the possibilities of the platform are not being fully utilized, so some features that could be discussed may not have been explored yet, though they may already be available."
"TrendAI Vision One is not a cheap system and is very expensive when considering value for money and return on investment."
"Trend Micro's support is suboptimal in my region, likely due to proximity to their resources, favouring areas closer to the company. Consequently, we utilize local support providers who offer better service."
"The experience of first using Trend Vision One is really difficult due to the steep learning curve."
"I would like to have the capability to export the information we receive from the XDR into Microsoft Excel."
"I think that continued optimization of the environment towards automation and orchestration, a kind of layer that sits underneath all of the technologies, would be extremely important."
"Improving the user interface would be helpful—it can be confusing, especially if you do not use it daily."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"The product is affordable."
"I feel that Vision One is a bit expensive. As for the pricing or licensing, I would rate it a seven out of ten."
"It is costly. It is not that affordable for a small organization. Only big organizations can afford it. It is a new feature that has been added, so its price is fair. Its licensing is probably subscription-based. It is for one or two years."
"The pricing is fair and not on the higher side."
"Trend Micro recently switched from a license-based pricing model to a credit system, which caused some initial frustration during my renewal."
"Trend Micro XDR has a good price, and on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of price."
"The cost is considered fairly priced."
"The pricing for Trend Vision One is reasonable."
"Trend Vision One is an expensive product."
