The management is really good, you can see everything on the dashboard
Pros and Cons
  • "The management console is pretty good. We have a dashboard that shows us what stuff to log, different malicious links that people are trying to access and also if somebody was trying to connect something to the computer, to a USB port or something like that, and if this person is on the under control management. It shows that he tried and he got blocked."
  • "We're not sure if we're going to continue with those products or their products or we're going to switch to something else. That's why we stopped the immigration process. If we were going to replace another product, it's not really efficient to waste time on it moving patients and other clients."

What is most valuable?

The management console is pretty good. We have a dashboard that shows us what stuff to log, different malicious links that people are trying to access and also if somebody was trying to connect something to the computer, to a USB port or something like that, and if this person is on the under control management. It shows that he tried and he got blocked. Also, the virus and malware attempts that were trying to attack the computer storage and stuff like that so the console is pretty intuitive, it's pretty user friendly. 

Managing the clients themselves, if, for example, I want to have different sites and laws. It's pretty easy to manage the clients and also to move them to different containers. The migration process itself is really easy from office scanning G to Apex One. It's just a few clicks to migrate the clients so the management is pretty good.

What needs improvement?

It works okay. The management console itself looks pretty much like the regular Office Mechanics. 

We are looking into different solutions, like SentinelOne and Sophos. We might continue with Apex One, it also depends on budget and pricing.

For how long have I used the solution?

We enabled it a few months ago, but we only moved five to six clients from the office scan from the regular and point protection to Apex One. So far, it has actually resolved as one of the bugs that we had because the regular office scan, a client agent was causing some Windows problems. A lot of Windows systems were crashing, having blue screens. We didn't know what the message share or message said. We tried to analyze it and stuff like that. Eventually, we found out that it was actually because of the OfficeScan agent, the regular agent, and after moving them to Apex One, the blue screens had stopped. This was a good improvement.

We're not sure if we're going to continue with those products or their products or we're going to switch to something else. That's why we stopped the immigration process. If we were going to replace another product, it's not really efficient to waste time on it moving patients and other clients.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We're actually a very small team, currently, we're down to three. IT and infrastructure people deal with all of the network issues and all of the management of the systems for our IT systems and products. One guy does help desk and another person and I were managing the systems. It's actually down to two people to manage all of the other stuff like that.

We use it on a daily basis, Monitoring is part of our daily monitoring and schedule. We're going from our different systems, more critical stuff in the morning, for a few hours and then we get to our later tasks and stuff like that.

How are customer service and support?

We offer support to the vendor directly. They were at our site two times already during the negotiation with the management. 

Based on the latest experience with technical support which was moving from migrating from the IMSDA to the DDI, it was actually pretty good. There was one support guy that worked with over the phone and everything is remote of course and after about two or three hours, all of it was running in production with the new system.

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

We previously used Symantec. I was mainly dealing with the end point, installing, and uninstalling it and solving different issues that were involved or problems that were involved due to the Symantec endpoint client, but besides that, I wasn't managing the system.

The main difference between the two is the heaviness that was edited with Symantec on the endpoint client itself and into the client. The agent is pretty heavy on the resources sometimes, the memory specialists and we feel that with Trend, the product is more light on the station, and doesn't consume a lot of resources. That's I think the main issue.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. We did the migration ourselves.

What other advice do I have?

As a current user of Trend Micro, I would recommend it, it does the job. It works fine and usually stops different virus attempts. The management is really good, you can see everything on the dashboard. If someone downloads some kind of infected file or some malicious file, we can see it and it usually gets blocked automatically.

I would rate Apex One an eight out of ten. 

In the next release, I would like to have the ability that if something happens, then we have a record of what exactly has occurred on the station, how it started and how it evolved and eventually, in case something bad happened, something malicious gets through and it wasn't recognized in the signatures and the station got infected so that we can later come and analyze and investigate it and see what exactly happened and learn from it actually for the next time.

The solution is powerful, simple to use, and very flexible. Having the solution in the cloud allows us to do remote work from anywhere.

What needs improvement?

Trend Micro Apex One could improve by having better integration in the future.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Trend Micro Apex One for approximately two months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In my experience, Trend Micro Apex One has been scalable.

We have approximately 5,000 users using this solution.

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.

Incorporates many engines like encryption, GLB, and antivirus and has good stability
Pros and Cons
  • "It's a good solution, and they have something called Suite incorporating many, many engines like encryption, GLB, anti-virus."
  • "We cover many things, but there is something called ATP, advanced threat prevention. I think they need to invest in this technology."

What is our primary use case?

We deal with the on-premises deployment model of this solution.

What is most valuable?

Trend Micro covers many things. The solution right now is called EDR. It's a good solution and they have something called Suite that incorporates many engines like encryption, GLB, and antivirus.

What needs improvement?

I think if they invest in better training and training partners, it could be even better but they have good coverage here in the Middle East now, especially in Egypt. I cannot recommend something right now.

Trend Micro covers many things but there is something called ATP, advanced threat prevention and it would improve the solution if they invested in this technology.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using this solution for about one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability is good, especially for enterprise companies. Small companies are also okay. The stability is not a problem.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is okay. Our current tools are licensed with the software solution we provide. So this provides them with tools over the virtual machines they have. They can add many licenses and we can extend to a larger size.

How are customer service and technical support?

We tried to implement ourselves. Their technical support is okay. 

How was the initial setup?

I work with Trend Micro as a salesman, not a technician. However, what I understood from others is that the setup is okay. It's not complex. 

What about the implementation team?

I have a team to deploy this solution to customers. It takes about three engineers to deploy. Three engineers can handle implementation and maintenance at the same time.

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

It's well priced at a yearly rate. The price itself depends on whether the solution is a full suite, half suite, or some other engine. It's different according to the consumer's requests.

What other advice do I have?

As a salesman, I encourage the customer to buy the full suite for the engines.

The biggest lesson I learned is about the EPR solution. Some people say it's easier to use this type of product. This is the next generation of antivirus technology.

I would rate this solution as seven and a half out of ten. We work with a lot of solutions, like Carbon Black, McAfee, Symantec, etc. There are features and benefits to each of these.

Provides good protection, is simple to use, has a user-friendly interface, and is reasonably priced
Pros and Cons
  • "One of the better features, in my opinion, is that it also makes use of a web reputation. For example, if someone accidentally clicks on a link in an email that leads to a malicious website, they will block it."
  • "The only thing that I would like to see changed or improved in the next release is when it reports C&C callbacks, to make it easier to trace, to see what's doing that, whether it's a program checking for updates or a malicious program."

What is our primary use case?

Trend Micro Apex One was an upgrade for a desktop virus scanner, web reputation, and a firewall.

What is most valuable?

It is very easy to use.

One of the better features, in my opinion, is that it also makes use of a web reputation. For example, if someone accidentally clicks on a link in an email that leads to a malicious website, they will block it.

The interface is good.

It's an excellent product for a desktop.

What needs improvement?

The only improvement I can see is that it occasionally warns us about callbacks, and there's almost no way to trace it back other than a Windows service, making it difficult to completely eliminate it, or know what program is creating the callback.

The only thing that I would like to see changed or improved in the next release is when it reports C&C callbacks, to make it easier to trace, to see what's doing that, whether it's a program checking for updates or a malicious program. At this time, all it says is that it's a C&C callback and then traces back to a Windows Service.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Trend Micro Apex One for approximately 20 years.

We upgraded to Apex One, between four and six months ago.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Trend Micro Apex One is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Trend Micro Apex One is very scalable.

It's on everyone's desktop on their computers.

We don't have any plans to increase our usage.

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

Previously, we used the OfficeScan version.

We are currently using Carbon Black as well.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

We gradually upgraded everyone from the previous version to the new version. If I add up all of the time we spent getting everything done, it probably took us a couple of weeks.

There are two of us that manage this solution as well as Carbon Black.

What about the implementation team?

We completed the installation in-house.

What was our ROI?

We have never calculated the ROI. It may be difficult to calculate, but all it has to do is keep you safe once or twice and it has paid for itself.

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

The pricing is good.

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis. 

If I remember correctly, the cost is approximately four and a half thousand per year.

There are no additional fees.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Trend Micro Apex One a nine out of ten.

Pros and Cons
  • "Its scalability and the central point of XDR so that all items are centrally reporting to one solution are the most valuable features."
