Setup Cost

Trend Vision One offers competitive pricing, appealing via a flexible credit system but may be costly for smaller organizations.

Featured Reviews

SemihDalkıran - PeerSpot reviewer
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
Trend 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. Trend 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. Trend 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. Trend 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. Trend Vision One helps customers consolidate the use of security vendors and reduce silos by offering one platform for all product management.

Using cloud-based console for software inventory management and email alerts
I have no idea if I use some automation functions. I can't find any disadvantages; maybe that is because many companies haven't used it. I would prefer to see some features such as AI in antivirus solutions. I appreciate reporting, but it could be better with monthly reporting or auto-generated monthly reports.
