Security needs improvement and email scanning features are not included
The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use this for email scanning. There are many options that are not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use separate applications for different internet applications or for different internet scanning. This is why we cannot use it. I would like to see additional features such as email scanning, which should be included, or malware detections, and other cybersecurity features should be included. It could also be more secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to install."
"What I like the most is the customer pricing because it's a great value."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that it also protects our smartphones. It's one of the reasons we use Trend Micro specifically."
"The solution integrates well with other Trend Micro products."
"The stability is good and I like the level of performance I can get."
"The most valuable features of Trend Micro Smart Protection are the email gateway and R & D which have contributed to their additional capability and development."
"It integrates well with all our tools, including ServiceNow, for fault reporting."
"The advantages of Trend Micro Smart Protection include its best feature, which is virtual patching."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, and secure."
 

Cons

"The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor."
"I cannot recall noticing any missing features."
"There are certain concerns with the product's stability, so it is an area where improvements are required."
"Sometimes, the tool bases its actions on behaviour, and we lack a policy learning mechanism. If Trend Micro Smart Protection introduced an AI model, its protection capabilities would be enhanced. I used a different browser once, which may have prevented protection. Another time, our own ISP was added to the blacklist, and it took the support team two business days to resolve it."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"I'm not sure about the cloud migration part, in terms of whether it is seamless or not."
"The solution could be more stable and secure."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection is a very system-intensive product, and it would be better if it could be made less burdensome on the resources."
"The dashboard could be easier to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licensing fees."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"There is an annual license required for this solution."
"The pricing is good compared to Symantec and McAfee."
"Our organization has paid licensing for three years, which averaged about $4.00 USD per user. We've been satisfied with the licensing. It's quite reasonable."
"The product pricing for PCs is reasonable, but server security can be expensive."
"The solution is a little bit expensive in comparison to other traditional tools."
"Instead of going for monthly or yearly licensing models, it is better to go ahead with three-year or five-year licensing models as it can be cheaper."
"There is an annual subscription license on it. In the next release, there might be monthly payment options. So, people might be able to get it through AWS in the future, but right now for on-prem, it is annual."
