865,384 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In the two years that we have been using the solution we have not had an issue with stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. We have approximately 2,500 licenses.
How was the initial setup?
The installation is easy and took approximately 10 minutes.
What about the implementation team?
We did the implementation ourselves and we have an automatic installer for our clients.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of the solution was expensive in the first year we had it because we were purchasing it locally. This year we have a global discount for the license. There is an additional cost if you want maintenance support.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution to others.
I rate Trend Micro Apex One a ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Reasonably priced, good anti-malware, stable, and scalable
Pros and Cons
- "Along with the anti-malware, it has a built-in device control and DLP."
- "It should have a single agent as competitors are offering."
What is most valuable?
It's a good product. The software is good.
We have not been faced with any issues as far as antivirus, or anti-malware is concerned.
Along with the anti-malware, it has a built-in device control and DLP. We have been using that and found it to be very useful.
Previously, we were using OfficeScan and now it is Apex Central. The Smart Scan feature and the update frequency have improved. The antivirus updates used to be once or twice a day, now it's in real-time. Every two hours there is a new definition or there is a new pack, which is a good thing.
We also like that it has Advanced Threat Protection because it is a good feature.
What needs improvement?
The driving force behind Trend Micro is not wanting two different agents on the same machine. If the cloud proxy could be on the same agent, it would increase our footprint on the client machine. Instead of running two agents, we think it would be better to run a single one.
The only concern that I have is with Trend Micro not having Cloud Proxy integrated into the same agent and the same console.
They have two different products, Cloud Proxy, and Anti-malware with DLP, which the only reason we are considering replacing it.
It should have a single agent, as competitors are offering.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Trend Micro Apex One for four and a half years.
Presently, the version we are using is Apex Central.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This product is quite stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Trend Micro Apex One is very much scalable.
We have 1,000 licenses.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Trend Micro, we were using McAfee.
We switched because of the price difference. There is a huge price difference between Trend Micro and McAfee.
What about the implementation team?
Our local partners deployed this solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We are not required to buy new licenses. The existing licenses will expire and we have to renew the license.
The issue is that we have requested a web proxy, cloud proxy feature, but the cloud proxy, with Trend Micro, has a different console, it's a different agent.
But I understand other competitors like CrowdStrike and Sophos, have a single agent for anti-malware that includes the DLP, the device control, and the cloud proxy.
The price for Trend Micro is reasonable.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Because it is time for renewal, I have been evaluating other solutions to see if I should stay with Trend Micro or if I should replace it. We are evaluating products such as Crowdstrike, Sophos, and Cloud Proxy, but the prices are quite high.
What other advice do I have?
The product is very good. It's stable, and if you are not looking for a cloud based proxy then you should go for Trend Micro. The pricing is very good, but Cloud proxy pricing is very high.
I would rate Trend Micro Apex One a nine out of ten.

Good technical support with a great complexity and the capability to scale
Pros and Cons
- "We've found the technical support to be very helpful overall."
- "The solution should adjust its pricing for the smaller market we are in."
What is our primary use case?
Next month, we will implement the solution as our own primary endpoint solution. Currently, we have clients that are using it for the same purpose.
What is most valuable?
We've just started the distribution of Trend Micro Products. We're at the start of the process. However, it's my understanding that it is a very complete solution.
With the DLP addition, it's quite a good product.
The complexity of the product is very good. It has a lot of features. It covers many items and different parts of intrusions.
The solution can scale quite well.
We've found the technical support to be very helpful overall.
What needs improvement?
We're still in the early stages of using the solution. We need more time to do some installations and work with the product to really be able to evaluate it completely.
We had some challenges with the initial setup.
The solution should adjust its pricing for the smaller market we are in.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've only been using the solution for about six months - or half a year. We haven't used the solution for that long just yet.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is very easy to scale and quite flexible. If a company needs to scale, it can do so with ease.
How are customer service and technical support?
We have our own global distributor, a local provider, and they have some technical personnel that covers the lower level of support queries. For a big issue, we contact the Trend Micro team directly.
It's very easy to contact both. They are very quick and responsive, They are quite knowledgeable and helpful. We're very satisfied with the level of service we are provided with.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup can be difficult. We had some issues, however, we worked with a local provider here in Bulgaria, and successfully performed this type of installation previously.
What about the implementation team?
We had the assistance of a local provider that was well trained in implementation. They sorted out any problems we had and helped us set everything up. We were very satisfied with the results.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We have a small market in Bulgaria and the price is always the leading issue and the leading decision point. Trend Micro is a big vendor, one of the best vendors, in my opinion. For a couple of years they've been in the top three and top five as an antivirus solution. Therefore, the quality comes at a price. I try to explain to our customers and our clients that they are paying for quality. That said, due to the fact that Bulgaria is such a small market, the pricing doesn't match the expectations.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I am currently comparing this solution with ESET.
What other advice do I have?
We are both a distributor of this product as well as a customer.
I'd recommend the solution to other companies. We don't just offer it to clients. We use it ourselves. We believe in the solution. We see the value in it.
I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. Although there are some improvements to be made, it's a very complete product with good flexibility and a good level of flexibility.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud

Can be used to easily update policies on the cloud
Pros and Cons
- "I'm using the cloud solution, which I really like. I like being able to update policies on the cloud so that when users who are working from home connect to the internet, their laptops will be updated automatically. I also like that this solution is easy to use and is stable and scalable"
- "More integration with different platforms would be great, as everyone seems to want the solution to integrate with each team."
What is our primary use case?
We currently have limited users, less than 100. We have found it difficult to manage users who are working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Trend Micro Apex One has been a good option to update policies. I change the policy on the cloud so that it will be drilled down or updated automatically on the laptops when the users connect to the internet.
How has it helped my organization?
It has been very useful, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when so many users are working from home. Trend Micro Apex One has enabled us to easily update policies on the cloud so that they will be drilled down or updated automatically on the laptops when the users connect to the internet.
What is most valuable?
I'm using the cloud solution, which I really like. I like being able to update policies on the cloud so that when users who are working from home connect to the internet, their laptops will be updated automatically. I also like that this solution is easy to use and is stable and scalable.
In the case of ransomware files, artificial intelligence is used in some places to start encrypting the files. I like the fact that Trend Micro Apex One has an option to restart the process and back up the files that are being encrypted.
What needs improvement?
More integration with different platforms would be great, as everyone seems to want the solution to integrate with each team.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using this solution for a couple of years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I feel that it is a stable solution that is easy to use as well.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I think Trend Micro Apex One is scalable. Right now, we have limited users, under 100.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have been using Symantec End-User Endpoint Security and added Trend Micro Apex One to our environment.
How was the initial setup?
Installation is very simple when a web portal is available. You can log in and create the policy. The initial setup process took about one to two hours.
What about the implementation team?
I was able to implement it myself with the help of the vendor.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The setup is easy, and if your servers are managed on the cloud, you won't need to hire additional staff for deployment and maintenance.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Trend Micro Apex One at nine. If you are looking for a data solution along with the end point, this would be an option to consider.
Also, Trend Micro Apex One has DLP options.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Good technical support with the capability to scale and offers real-time scanning
Pros and Cons
- "The solution offers good community support."
- "It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit."
What is our primary use case?
The solution is an endpoint antivirus. We primarily use it for endpoint security and protection.
Most of the customer requirements are just to have endpoint security - and something that is not just pattern-based or signature-based. They want to have protection with zero-day attacks and suspicious malware alerts.
What is most valuable?
Their real-time scan feature is excellent. It's proactively scanning every movement within the machine or the workstation. It's a very nice security feature.
The solution is largely stable.
The initial setup can be pretty straightforward.
The technical support is good. They have local techs that can assist. We don't have to worry about time zones, et cetera.
The solution offers good community support.
What needs improvement?
Trend Micro's reporting is lacking in a lot of ways. Right now, I have some customers that want the report to be customized, and we're having trouble with the customization of the reports in general. They need to make the features more flexible to meet the needs of clients. It's far too difficult to customize right now.
It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit.
The product needs to execute faster. It's an aspect that can be improved upon in future releases.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been working with the solution over the last 12 months at least.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability, for the most part, is very good. There are a few bigs and fixes here and there, however, that is typical of most software. It's not something that stops it from being reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We largely handle enterprise implementations.
How are customer service and technical support?
I'm satisfied with the level of support we get. Their support is good since they have local support here in the Philippines. They are knowledgeable and responsive, and it's nice to have local help.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward, as long as the setup of the customer is also straightforward. There could be some complexities involved. It depends on the current setup or network set up of the customers.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don't have the visibility in terms of pricing. It's not an aspect of the solution I concern with. I can't speak to the licensing costs or how often the company needs to pay.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
It actually competes with McAfee and Symantec. They are our direct competitors.
What other advice do I have?
We are resellers of Trend Micro.
We're using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure of the exact version number.
We use various deployment models, including on-premises and cloud.
In general, I would rate the solution nine out of ten. Our customers, for the most part, have been quite happy with the solution and its level of security.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

DLP feature is useful for our environment and we also get good support, but it needs a lighter agent that doesn't impact the performance
Pros and Cons
- "DLP is a solid feature in the product. I like it very much. It is very useful in our environment. It is also a very stable solution. Their support is also very good."
- "Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster."
What is our primary use case?
We are using it as an antivirus solution. We are testing the Data Loss Prevention feature, but basically, we are using it for our endpoints in a segmented network. There is not so much traffic to the internet.
What is most valuable?
DLP is a solid feature in the product. I like it very much. It is very useful in our environment.
It is also a very stable solution. Their support is also very good.
What needs improvement?
Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for around three months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It should be easy to scale. We have 40,000 subscriptions.
How are customer service and technical support?
We are using the support from our region, and they provide very good support. They have very well-trained people.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We are migrating next week from Symantec Endpoint Protection to Trend Micro. We are part of a corporation that has offices in many countries of South America. We signed an agreement with Trend Micro, and that's why we are switching to Trend Micro.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward. It takes a day to configure the server for configuration policies and other such stuff. For the deployment of the endpoints, it can take 15 days to set it up at the workplace.
What about the implementation team?
Our IT department has around two people working on IT infrastructure and security. Those are the required people.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We have a yearly subscription. Our subscription includes all solutions of Apex One, such as endpoint protection, DLP, and ransomware protection. We are paying around $30 for each.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution. Apex One has to make some changes to the scanning process. That's a negative point, but on the other hand, we get good support that responds almost immediately to our requests.
I would rate Trend Micro Apex One a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

An easy initial setup with good technical support and great security
Pros and Cons
- "Technical support is quite knowledgeable and helpful."
- "The solution could use signatureless detection."
What is our primary use case?
Trend Micro Apex One is a nine-point security solution from Trend Micro. We primarily use the solution for all of the scanning of our endpoint devices.
What is most valuable?
Trend Micro ensures the number of signatures is updated on time. If you have updated versions of signatures, they are built into the database quickly without wasting time.
If you don't update your database in real-time, the problem is there can be zero-day exploits. Hackers or malicious attacks might get through. Trend Micro in that sense is a very good product as it allows us to have access to the database all the time. The security is excellent. That is the most valuable aspect.
Technical support is quite knowledgeable and helpful.
What needs improvement?
The solution could use signatureless detection.
The EDR capabilities should be built into the solution. In my opinion, the native endpoint product should have the capability of EDR also. The product should be capable of actually building some behavior-based analytics so that it can actually detect signature lists.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for about three months. However, I had been using a previous version of the solution, known as Office Scan, for the last two or three years or so.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable.
We currently have 2,000 users on the solution.
We intend to increase usage in the future.
How are customer service and technical support?
We've reached out to technical support in the past and we've always gotten the help we needed. We're satisfied with the level of support we receive.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We didn't previously use a different solution. We've always used Trend Micro.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not complex. It's pretty straightforward.
The deployment doesn't take much time, however, it depends on the size of the organization. It's very slow to deploy the product to multiple clients. If your organization has a 10,000 user base, sit will take longer than if you have a 2,000 user base. It just varies according to the number of machines to which it will actually be deployed.
We have about 2,000 users and we have a team of three or four people that handle maintenance.
What about the implementation team?
I am the security manager on the end solution security team in the organization. The deployment was actually done by the IT team within my team. We didn't need the assistance of consultants or integrators.
What other advice do I have?
We're just a customer.
On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution at a nine. It's been very good. We've been happy with the results so far.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Good antivirus support and reasonably-priced, but the reporting should be improved
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is the antivirus."
- "I would like to see better reporting."
What is our primary use case?
We use this product as our antivirus solution.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the antivirus. We don't use any of the other features.
What needs improvement?
For Trend Micro in general, I would like to see better technical responses.
We had a few issues with the former product (Office Scan - this is not an EDR product). We did not get any useful answer from technical support. As a conesquence, there is room for improvement as it comes to our future use of Apex One - let's see how this will evolve.
For how long have I used the solution?
We are currently testing Apex One, formerly known as OfficeScan which we had been using during the last 6 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This is a stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Apex One is scalable.
How are customer service and technical support?
From what I can tell, the technical support is non-existent. I sent questions about search behavior a couple of times and didn't get any answer.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have worked with Kaspersky in the past. The setup is very different from what we have now and it is difficult to compare, but I think that Kaspersky is a better product.
In the Kaspersky deployment, the company had a lot of sites and edge-caching was needed to distribute videos.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment took place before I joined the company.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price is reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate this solution a six out of ten.
