Senior Manager at RQ Net MSC Sdn Bhd
Easy to set up, stable, and scalable
Pros and Cons
- "Email security is the most valuable feature."
- "Trend Micro Apex One can improve its vulnerability assessment and monitoring tools."
What is our primary use case?
Trend Micro Apex One has various applications. We use the solution for our network interface, and also for endpoint malware attacks. We have also conducted simulation testing, and phishing attacks using the solution.
How has it helped my organization?
We have implemented three levels of security to minimize endpoint security for user protection. We have also implemented a Data Loss Protection (DLP) policy to protect data in transit, data in motion, and data at rest. Additionally, we have implemented Server Deep Security to protect virtualized servers hosted in our organization.
What is most valuable?
Email security is the most valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
Trend Micro Apex One can improve its vulnerability assessment and monitoring tools.
In a future release, I would like to have more assessment tools and tracing testing.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I give the scalability a nine out of ten.
We have over 300 people using the solution.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support provides an immediate response.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used Kaspersky and switched to Trend Micro Apex One because of the Integrated Business Solutions. My goal was to accomplish two areas, particularly the Deep Security server. I was searching for my server and subsequently, data loss protection. For the two extra seasons, the cost was lower than that of Kaspersky and the features were more extensive.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not complex, but good documentation and knowledge are required. The person implementing the setup should be knowledgeable of all the features available, and the knowledge should be distributed among the end users so they are aware of what they will have and the benefits.
We completed the implementation within one week using three people. Our initial target was around three hundred users with endpoint protection and our deep security, which can virtualize our servers, as well as the additional features of the DLP.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was completed with the help of a consultant, a Trend Micro support person, and myself.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a return on investment since we implemented Trend Micro. We have been able to get rid of all the spam features and additional tools we were using. Another benefit is that we are using the solution to prevent malware issues, which is cost-saving every year. Definitely, if I look at the past five years, I have still managed to save the cost because the implementation cost is a one-time fee, not an annual cost. In a five-year period, the solution has saved us around 30 percent of the cost.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of the solution is reasonable but we also have to factor in the cost of the implementation which is expensive because we have to hire a third party.
The license fee for 300 users is approximately $2,000 USD and $500 USD for the implementation cost.
What other advice do I have?
I give the solution an eight out of ten.
We require three people to maintain the solution.
I advise people to focus on data protection and network security as these are the key areas in order to utilize the full benefit of Trend Micro Apex One. This includes data protection loss per the CTAR, which provides cybersecurity with data loss protection, and the networks.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

How are customer service and support?
I'm not sure if our team has ever used technical support. I've never contacted them directly.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Trend Micro's been in our company for quite some time. Apex, under the new name, is the latest. Before that, it was OfficeScan, which was Trend Micro as well. We've likely used Trend Micro for a decade.
How was the initial setup?
It's an easy product to set up, from my understanding. I don't recall discussing any complexities during implementation. The deployment likely took less than a month. It doesn't take too long.
At this point in time, just a couple of engineers are needed to manage the solution.
What about the implementation team?
Our team handled the setup process. We did not use an integrator or reseller.
What was our ROI?
We've likely experienced an ROI while using the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm not familiar with the licensing costs. They are a part of our enterprise agreement.
What other advice do I have?
I'm not sure which version I'm using at the moment. I don't directly manage the solution at the moment.
Potential new users need to evaluate their licensing cost and the solution, whether it checks all the boxes and has all the features they need.

Jr. Information Security Analyst at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
Its GUI is basic and you can easily understand what is there or what is not
Pros and Cons
- "I like Apex One's DLP and EDR features. The DLP is a good solution because it allows you to push policies. Source detection is another one. It automatically detects malicious IPs, domains, and URLs. Most of the time, it works automatically, but sometimes it doesn't quarantine or block, so we have to perform remediation manually and delete the file or application through Power Shell."
- "Apex One could use some updates to its UI, threat modeling, and insights. I would like to see better integration with helpdesk platforms and more AI-driven features."
What is our primary use case?
I am using Apex One as a SOC analyst. I solve problems and open tickets if Trend Micro doesn't block, remedy, or quarantine threats. We don't deploy it. The Apex Trend Micro team deploys it at the customer's company, and we use it.
We use Apex One for things like URL and domain blocking, as well as detecting and blocking malicious files. We typically use the DLP solution, too. We can make groups and set policies that we push out. For example, we can set a policy for who is allowed to use a USB and who can use Zoom or any other software.
What is most valuable?
I like Apex One's DLP and EDR features. The DLP is a good solution because it allows you to push policies. Source detection is another one. It automatically detects malicious IPs, domains, and URLs. Most of the time, it works automatically, but sometimes it doesn't quarantine or block, so we have to perform remediation manually and delete the file or application through PowerShell.
ApexOne has many advanced protection capabilities that help guard against new and unknown threats. It's critical because zero-day threats and ransomware have the most potential to destroy an organization.
It's easy to use. Its GUI is so basic, and you can easily understand what is there or what is not. The interface is old-fashioned, but it's a good product. It's easy to administer, but I don't have the privileges to use it as an administrator.
What needs improvement?
Apex One could use some updates to its UI, threat modeling, and insights. I would like to see better integration with helpdesk platforms and more AI-driven features. It has some machine learning EDR capabilities, but they're not quite up to the level of some other solutions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Trend Micro products for the past year, including Apex One and Vision One.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Apex One runs smoothly. I've never had any issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Apex One is easy to scale.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I also work with SentinelOne and CrowdStrike, which I regard as the most advanced solutions. Apex One's GUI is way too old school and their R&D is behind. Apex One has most of the features, but it's lacking some things that are necessary in today's landscape.
SentinelOne is the clear winner out of these three because it offers end-to-end protection against anything malicious. If it's a Mac endpoint, SentinelOne can end the process through launch. SentinelOne also offers a more in-depth EDR analysis than Apex One.
Trend Micro Vision One has a different feature set because Vision One is an XDR, but Apex One is an EDR. In my use case, Apex One is too old school compared to Vision One, which has more capabilities and advanced features.
How was the initial setup?
I wasn't involved in the deployment. The client deployed Apex One, and I use it in my capacity as a SOC analyst. It doesn't require any maintenance from our side. I am using it remotely. However, the client may need to update agents and things like that.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Trend Micro Apex One eight out of 10.

I'm a customer and end-user. I am using the latest version of the solution.
We do not utilize its ZDR services right now.
My understanding is the solution offers virtual patching. I'm not sure if I've used it on my system or not.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I'm satisfied with the service of Apex One. It's easy to monitor.
