What is most valuable?

The security of Trend Micro Web Security is good.

What needs improvement?

The ease of use depends on the blacklisting of the sites. Some of the authorized sites have been blacklisted, which requires a request to unblock the site. The process of authorizing sited needs to improve.

The performance could be better. Sometimes the browser hangs. it is possible that the integration in coordination with the browser causes that issue.

I would like to see better scalability and better performance.

We implemented Trend Micro Web Security for a client approximately six months ago. I have been acquainted with it for a couple of months.
