Easy to use and competitively priced
Honestly, the product needs to continue the way it is, and I feel that everything will be fine. I haven't had any reasons to complain about the product. The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model. In the future, I want the product to offer MDM. It can allow me to manage my mobile device more efficiently and effectively. Currently, there is a need for a separate license to be added to Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response to be able to use the MDM part. If both are bundled up under the same license, the administration part can be made easier.

The CREM feature is an absolutely essential feature that helps us meet security requirements
Since we started using Trend Vision One, we've been able to enhance our security posture significantly. Trend Vision One has improved significantly over time in providing centralized visibility and control. It started as a set of individual products, but now it feels like one integrated solution. This reduces the need for interfaces or multiple analysis tools. That's why we pursued the one-platform strategy. Trend Vision One has definitely helped consolidate our use of security vendors. We previously used standalone products for endpoint and email protection that weren't integrated. Now, we get the benefits of an integrated solution. I'd estimate we're 50–70% better in security now than we were two years ago. The Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM)feature is absolutely essential. Even though we're not critical infrastructure, the NIS2 directive gives us security guidelines. CREM helps us meet these requirements. It is very important to our organization that Trend Vision One integrates AI into the platform. Pattern recognition in forensic data is no longer manageable by humans due to the volume of events. Machine learning is essential to process these and filter what needs human attention. Trend Vision One has improved our organization significantly. Security tasks used to be manual. Now, technology prevents issues or supports staff in detecting them. This shift from manual to technical solutions greatly increased our security. Trend Vision One has reduced the time we spend detecting and responding to threats. I'd say we're 80% faster than before. The platform gives us consolidated data upfront, so we don't have to search for event clues manually. Trend Vision One has helped reduce false alarms. I'd estimate a 50–60% time saving. We have more alerts now than years ago, but also better systems to handle them, making the whole process more efficient. Trend Vision One has helped reduce our cyber risk overall. We now know where gaps are before they become problems, whereas in the past we had to guess. That's a massive improvement. When it comes to operations, the CREM solution helps us identify vulnerabilities in systems. If we patch them, they disappear from the reports—this gives us actionable insights, which is incredibly helpful. It took about half a year to realize the benefits of Trend Vision One after implementation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response are its immediate response and investigation."
"IPS and the user interface are good features."
"The interface is quite easy to use."
"I've mainly found the antivirus and antispyware features valuable. The documentation is okay as well."
"The solution is scalable."
"In Symantec, we have found that the most important feature is Application and Device Control."
"The setup is quite easy."
"A great feature of this solution is that it is very well-integrated with antivirus software. Other ADR solutions are implemented as single technologies and are not integrated with the provider, but Symantec offers AV plus ADR."
"Drilling down further, we can analyze how our users are utilizing their workstations, including the websites they visit."
"It helps a lot to understand where the threat is coming from, where is it going, how is it being dealt with, et cetera."
"The most significant recent change has been the addition of the new AI companion."
"It helps us with investigations."
"The search features help us try to correlate information and identify any suspicious activity."
"I'm satisfied with the level of coverage. The policies have been very useful and detailed."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro XDR is that the detection and response domain extends to the network. It goes beyond the endpoint and includes data about the network which lets you pinpoint patient zero as well as the root cause of the attack."
"Trend Vision One has reduced the time we spend detecting and responding to threats; I'd say we're 80% faster than before."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to see more granular timeline analysis."
"The Symantec portfolio is not big enough to cover the organization in all 360 degrees."
"A significant deterioration in customer support."
"In the future, it would be nice to have playbooks in the tool, to allow for some of the common activities to be automated. For example, some of the scannings of the malware can be too manual for a specific device. Additionally, a vulnerability manager would be beneficial."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response could improve the reporting. It is very difficult to create reports from the user interface."
"It is not possible to buy it from the company itself, or resellers in other countries. If it is available, I see that it is offered as part of a larger service. For me, this was not suitable."
"It would be beneficial to have more integration and compatibility with other platforms."
"The GUI could be better."
"They are planning on adding the Security Playbooks as a complete feature. In the preview mode, it is available; however, it is not released."
"Trend Vision One requires several enhancements for optimal performance."
"Vision One could improve its area networking and email security."
"Having more variables within the playbook would be useful. It would allow us to have more refined playbooks for the business. It would allow us to take stronger action through a playbook. It will give us confidence to target a particular area of business where our risk tolerance might be higher or lower. We would like to have more granular playbooks."
"Trend Vision One has some usability issues."
"There should be improvements in risk quantification, where the risk is displayed in a quantified manner, showing the dollar value loss."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved. They need to see more CVEs and scan products for known vulnerabilities, allowing for better display and review of potentially exploitable servers by hackers or through configuration settings."
"The zero trust is a bit complicated compared to other parts of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive."
"Compared to the tools of competitors, Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is a cheaply priced product."
"The price is really high and it should be lower."
"Of late, because of the Broadcom purchase, its price has been increasing."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The price is reasonable."
"We pay around $100,000 for 5000 licenses every year."
"Trend Micro XDR is expensive."
"The pricing for Trend Vision One is reasonable."
"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."
"When I compare it to its peers that can do the same, it is cost-effective."
"The pricing of the solution is okay. There is a need for me to look into the new pricing plan introduced by the solution recently."
"I find it to be a cost-efficient platform."
"They've introduced a credit system, where we purchase credits and then allocate them to the specific services we need active."
"I feel that Vision One is a bit expensive. As for the pricing or licensing, I would rate it a seven out of ten."
