Provides stable and scalable threat protection with good technical support, but it needs to be more comprehensive
Pros and Cons
  • "Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."
  • "What could help Trend Micro Web Security in terms of improvement is the addition of a DDoS protection feature. It also needs to be more comprehensive to meet the needs of large-sized companies."

What is our primary use case?

Trend Micro Web Security is used to protect the organizations from shoulder surfing. It also does certain classifications to provide protection not only from a security point of view, but also from a GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) point of view.

What needs improvement?

What could help Trend Micro Web Security in terms of improvement is the addition of a DDoS protection feature. Better DDoS protection is what I'm expecting, though I'm unsure if they now have that, because DDoS protection is more specialized than just web security.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been providing Trend Micro Web Security for seven years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Trend Micro Web Security is a good, stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Trend Micro Web Security is a scalable product.

How are customer service and support?

The tech support for Trend Micro Web Security is good.

How was the initial setup?

Installing this product is really straightforward. The longest part is getting the MX records changed.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

For Trend Micro Web Security licensing, there's annual and monthly options, e.g. it depends on the company and the customer. When they are on the managed services option, it's monthly. They're also setting up an option via AWS where there will be a monthly option via the AWS shopfront.

What other advice do I have?

We were able to deploy Trend Micro Web Security both on cloud and on-premises.

We currently have six customers on Trend Micro Web Security. Some of the customers, I've moved to a product that is more comprehensive.

You need a proper engineer to do the onboarding for this product, but it's not a very resource-intensive solution once it's installed. It does its protection. It gives you reports. You can configure it for the changes you want to make.

I recommend Trend Micro Web Security, particularly for small to medium enterprises. Bigger companies have more stringent requirements, and they might want to use solutions that are more comprehensive, but for small to medium-sized companies, this solution is good enough.

My rating for Trend Micro Web Security is six out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I am mostly using Symantec and Pure solutions. I also use Azure Access.

How was the initial setup?

I have had any complications so far. It depends on the customer's environment, generally speaking. It usually is straightforward.

What is our primary use case?

Trend Micro Web Security is used for web filtering. It protects the environment from web threats and malicious sites.

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.

Trend Micro Web Security is a stable product, but the web browsers will hang at times.

We have one engineer to implement and upgrade this solution in the client's environment. With the support of their local engineer that they have on-premises, we implement the solution.

What about the implementation team?

We implement products for our clients.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to others. If, however, they are using a different niche and using the other security levels then they don't need to use this product.

I would rate Trend Micro Web Security and eight out of ten.
