Scalable and easy to setup, but support could be better
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is not that tough. It's easy."
  • "The technical support should be more proactive."

What needs improvement?

While we consider all the features to be valuable, we occasionally encounter issues with the performance. My technical team would be in a better position than I to address these. 

The technical support should be more proactive. I rate it as an eight out ten. 

There should be better support for ransomeware. It would be nice to see proper security terms, technical improvisations in terms of security.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Trend Micro Apex One for nearly two years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the scalability of the solution as an eight out of ten. 

How are customer service and support?

There should be more proactice technical support and I rate this as an eight out of ten.

Useful USB storage blocker, stable, but interface could improve
Pros and Cons
  • "I have found it beneficial when I update a policy it is implemented within a few seconds and the blocking of USB storage function."
  • "The solution could improve by making the interface less confusing, it needs to be simplified."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Trend Micro Apex One for our organization's network security.

What is most valuable?

I have found it beneficial when I update a policy it is implemented within a few seconds and the blocking of USB storage function.

What needs improvement?

The solution could improve by making the interface less confusing, it needs to be simplified.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for approximately five months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In the time I have been using the solution it has been stable.

The price of the solution is fair and there is a per-user license to use the solution. Our costs are approximately $2,000 a month, it can get costly if you have a lot of users.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend others to try another solution if pricing is a concern because the cost can be high for companies and there are cheaper solutions.

I rate Trend Micro Apex One seven out of ten.

Stable, flexible, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "The product has proven to be very flexible over the years that we have had it."
  • "The integration capabilities could be a bit better."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for endpoint security. It helps protect us from malware and viruses for the most part.

What is most valuable?

The solution is very easy to use.

The product has proven to be very flexible over the years that we have had it.

The stability has been very good so far. It's reliable.

We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward. 

What needs improvement?

I am a supervisor for the technical team. My technical team has used the product for the most part. I don't use the solution in a technical sense and therefore it is difficult to discuss what might be lacking or where changes may need to be made.

The integration capabilities could be a bit better. right now, it's my understanding that they are not as strong as they could be. It's an aspect that could be improved in future releases. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for about five years or so. It's been a while.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. It's reliable and the performance has been good overall. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have around 2,000 users on the solution right now.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support, in general, has been manageable. They are helpful and responsive. We're satisfied with the level of service they provide to us. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy and quite straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with it. The process is not overly complex or difficult.

A full deployment only takes three to five days, and therefore isn't too time intensive in general.

We have three staff members that can handle deployment and maintenance responsibilities.

What about the implementation team?

We handled the implementation ourselves. We didn't use a consultant or integrator at all. We're integrators ourselves.

What other advice do I have?

We're systems integrators. 

We're using the latest version of the solution right now.

Overall, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been mostly happy with the product and its capabilities.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

A strong security product for endpoint protection with good stability, good security capabilities, and good support
Pros and Cons
  • "It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection."
  • "It would be great it can support endpoint encryption."

What is our primary use case?

It is mainly used for endpoint security. It can be deployed on-premises or on the cloud, so it is a fairly hybrid product.

What is most valuable?

It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection.

What needs improvement?

It would be great it can support endpoint encryption.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We are securing more than 15,000 endpoints with this solution.

How are customer service and technical support?

Their technical support is okay. They have a good support mechanism.

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

We have replaced Symantec and McAfee with Trend Micro Apex One.

How was the initial setup?

Its installation has medium complexity. It is not very difficult, but it is also not that easy. It is an endpoint product, and the installation also depends on the number of users. The maximum number of individual deployments that we have done was about 8,000 users. We had around five engineers who worked for around three months for the entire deployment.

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

It has a per-user license.

What other advice do I have?

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

Stable, straightforward to set up, and reasonably-priced
Pros and Cons
  • "This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it."
  • "The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."

What is our primary use case?

We are using this product for endpoint protection on all of our workstations and servers.

What is most valuable?

We are using this as an antivirus solution and all of those features are helpful.

What needs improvement?

The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Trend Micro Apex One for a couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have approximately 1,000 users.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have rarely been in contact with technical support, but my experience with them has been okay.

How was the initial setup?

The installation process is straightforward. We are automating it, so I am not sure of the time that it takes to deploy. Installing it is done through our group policy.

What about the implementation team?

Our organization deployed it with an in-house team before I joined.

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

The cost of this solution is mid-level; not cheap nor expensive. The subscription is paid on an annual basis.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The evaluation of products took place before I joined the company.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, this is a good solution and I can recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Lightweight, automatically scans websites and email attachments, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "I can run a full scan and it won't cost too much in terms of resources, which is good."
  • "I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included."

What is our primary use case?

This product is set up on our company laptops and I used it to scan files to ensure there is no virus or malware on my PC.

What is most valuable?

Sometimes when I browse to a website, there will be malicious content and it will be pointed out by Trend Micro.

This product automatically scans my email attachments to make sure that there is no malware or any malicious code.

Another advantage is that the level of resources it consumes is not very significant. I can run a full scan and it won't cost too much in terms of resources, which is good.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included. This type of module can effectively detect an attack, like ransomware. This is not something that I have at the moment.

The dashboard could be a little bit easier.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Micro Apex One since I joined the company, six or seven years ago. The company was using it prior to that.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This product is quite stable and reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are between 200 and 300 users in the company.

How are customer service and technical support?

Our IT department handles technical support, so if I need help then I don't contact the vendor directly.

What about the implementation team?

Our IT department is responsible for deployment and maintenance. They follow ISO compliance and keep the product up to date.

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

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

What other advice do I have?

This product is easy to use, doesn't consume too much in terms of resources, and has automatic scanning. Because of these features, I recommend it to other users.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

A straightforward setup and good multi-layer protection with easy management capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
  • "We have found that this product is a bit heavy on the endpoints."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution as an antivirus. It protects our organization.

What is most valuable?

As a specialist and price management console, it's easy to manage. 

There is excellent multi-layer protection offered by the product. There are multiple layers of behavior monitoring, process monitoring, et cetera. The multi-layer aspect is actually one of the main reasons we chose this particular solution.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

We've found the stability to be very good.

What needs improvement?

We have found that this product is a bit heavy on the endpoints. This seems to be largely the fault of multiple processing on the identity side. If they could improve this identity protection on the endpoint so that it could take up fewer resources on the machines, it would be a marked improvement.

We have had one problem. When we go to use corporate licenses, we'd like to have the ability to distribute them all over the globe. However, they work under a SAS model, and not all entities can use the SAS model. They are bound by one license key with one setup. If they had three to five SAS models linked to one key, it would be much better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for the past five years now. It's been a while.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is very good. Basically, it's the latest version of OfficeScan. There aren't too many differences and the stability in both cases was good. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's quite reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In terms of scalability, we've discovered that it is easy to scale. You basically just need to add the licenses and the console. If a company needs to expand the solution, it won't have any issues.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was not complex at all. It was easy and very straightforward. We recently migrated from OfficeScan to Apex One, and it was a very simple process overall. 

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

The pricing, as compared to other options, is a bit higher. However, they're offering with single license multiple applications. With this product, you get things like application control, vulnerability control, et cetera. They have added more benefits. You may pay more, however, you also get more. Altogether, it's a rather reasonable offer.

What other advice do I have?

We are just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with the organization.

In general, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's okay. We've mostly been happy with it.

This product basically a traditional antivirus system. Similar to McAfee and Symantec, Trend Micro, is based on traditional antiviruses. They have made improvements on some things, however, at the enterprise level, we know that these days we need a second layer of protection, specifically for malware. That is why we are using two solutions - Trend Micro plus Cisco AMP. AMP is specific to malware protection. Trend Micro handles the traditional antivirus side. It's very difficult to trust just one solution these days. We need to make sure we cover all the protection layers. 

Trend Micro claims that basically, Apex One is an enterprise level solution. We have been using last five years, and, so far, we haven't experienced any problems. Therefore, it's safe to say that we can recommend a product like this to other mid-level or small enterprises.

User-friendly, easy to implement, with excellent support and good performance
Pros and Cons
  • "When comparing to other products the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement."
  • "We have received many complaints about how slow the system is on the first day of implementation."

What is our primary use case?

We are system integrators and we work with many different products.

We have four to five customers that we have implemented Apex One for and everyone is quite satisfied.

Our customers are using this solution for endpoint protection.

What is most valuable?

Trend Micro is very good.

The performance is good and the control is user-friendly.

When comparing to other products, the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement.

What needs improvement?

We have received many complaints about how slow the system is on the first day of implementation.

When implementing and you don't have a third-party tool, it can be difficult. Most people are working from home and using their own network to connect to the local office, so implementing these authorities can be challenging.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Micro Apex One for more than two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are no issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's a scalable solution.

Our customers are large companies with more than 5,000 users.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer support is excellent. They respond very quickly.

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

We have faced some issues with McAfee.

The features in Sophos are very good and the detection capability is excellent.

How was the initial setup?

It's very easy to implement.

Depending on the customer's environment and the features they are using, it can take two to three people to maintain and manage.

If they are using the device's central application to control everything at once for more than 2,000 users then a single person can't handle all of the modules. This would then require more people for maintenance.

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

The price is very good compared to other products.

What other advice do I have?

I would definitely recommend Trend Micro, especially if they have a low budget.

If they have a larger budget then I could suggest Sophos, which is also a very good product.

It is all dependant on the customer's budget.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
