Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.
John Trembly - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a single dashboard, integrates well, and has predictive machine learning
Microsoft's new Azure Code Signing is causing a lot of issues for us with One Endpoint Security. We currently have two systems in operation, on-prem and SaaS, and many of the agents won't upgrade beyond version B11564 because these newer versions require Azure Code Signing compliance on the endpoint. If we are not up to date with our Windows updates, we don't have this compliance. Irrespective of the Windows version we are running, we have to apply patches to the machines, if the OS is not damaged, to make them compliant. After that, we can upgrade to the latest version of the respective agent. This process also applies to both Deep Security and Workload Security. I have two production servers: one for Windows and another for Mac. These servers are available in both on-premise and SaaS versions. Additionally, I have a test server that is located on-premises. The significant distinction with the SaaS version is the absence of a test server where I can install a new version. This means I can't allow the agents on it to upgrade and then perform testing. In contrast, with the production SaaS version of One Endpoint Security, I have numerous agents transitioning and coming online. It's essential that these agents upgrade to a newer version. Among these agents, there are five or six different versions, not counting the really old ones that have yet to upgrade due to ACS non-compliance. I can't leave the testing phase for an extended period because I still have outdated agents that need to be updated. These agents can't be left hanging while I wait to test the newest version that has just been released. New versions seem to come out every couple of months in the SaaS environment. In the past, when I solely used the on-premises version, I would review security bulletins for the SaaS version to identify any issues. I'm apprehensive about potential future situations involving this, primarily because the majority of our agents now operate on the cloud version. If a problem is discovered, rolling back on those agents would be challenging. It would require careful operation to revert them to a different version. The on-premises version of One Endpoint Security has an update function that allows us to manually update a bunch of servers. For example, if I just turned on a policy, I can force the agents to quickly download the policy and start following the update procedure or update settings. However, this function is not available in the SaaS version. This is because the system cannot communicate with the agent through the firewall. The SaaS version has an automatic update function and an update source entry in the update agents sub-menu, but it does not have a way to force agents to update. This is a problem because we cannot automatically update the agents. We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command. Currently, we have no choice but to wait until the agents find the updates themselves.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
"Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers."
"This product offers good protection against many types of malware."
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual patching."
"Some of the main features of this solution are it is reliable and can be used in small to large size businesses."
"The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."
"I have opened three tickets with the technical support and they were responsive and asked me to send them my logs."
"Apex One is flexible and offers a lot of visibility on the agent."
"The solution offers quick and timely updates."
"I have found Trend Micro Apex One to be secure."
"We don't use application control but instead, we use behavior monitoring, which is a good feature. The real-time scanning, data loss prevention, and endpoint sensor we use are beneficial"
"The policies, protection, and ease of use are the most valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One."
"The most valuable feature is that it's normal, and not for a specific server."
"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."
 

Cons

"We'd like to have more application control."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features."
"The situation with the currency in Turkey makes this solution a little bit on the expensive side, and if it were lowered then it would be more competitive."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"We want to see improved authentication."
"Deep Security's reporting functionality could be improved."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"The integration capabilities could be a bit better."
"The solution could improve the Linux XDR functionality. It is not mature. There could be some improvement in the area of the use cases. For example, improvement is needed in OTN."
"The solution could use signatureless detection."
"Its pricing should be improved. In some cases, the user interface was not ready for our proof of concept. It wasn't a beta phase service."
"This software could affect the performance of your device negatively, particularly causing slow performance after installation."
"While the single console offers partial end-to-end visibility into our IT security environment, we leverage additional solutions to achieve comprehensive coverage, so this area can be improved by Apex One."
"They could improve the integration with Active Directory."
"It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair."
"The solution is offered at an average price point"

"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"The price is reasonable."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Its price is competitive."
"The pricing was previously considered affordable, however, currently, it is on the rise due to a new licensing segregation policy."
"The pricing for Apex One is midrange, and worth the costs."
"Licensing costs depend completely on the number of users or licenses. They have a specific pricing structure. For example, if you are looking for 100 users to be on the product, in the Indian market (we're based in India), the cost is nearly $2,500 to $3,000 maximum for one three-year license."
"The license fee for 300 users is approximately $2,000 USD and $500 USD for the implementation cost."
"It's an annual subscription."
