The Trend Vision One Endpoint Security platform provides antivirus and malware detection, and endpoint visibility. The product suite can be extended with associated applications that cover mobile endpoint protection, endpoint encryption, as well as network and server vulnerability protection.
Identity Protection is well suited for organizations that need to be monitor AD/Entra for suspicious activity. During a Penetration Test our MDR didn't alert on some odd protocol implementations, but ITDR did. It is also simple to setup for MFA on RDP as well. There are other solutions for it, but found I got more out of ITDR than I did from Duo. ITDR is less suited for smaller organizations since it has a 250-seat minimum. They should lower it to at least 100.
I think Trend is well suited for businesses that need an all-in-one malware/antivirus/EDR solution. It works well and runs smoothly in the background not hindering the users. Our only issue with it is the use of it and secure browsers for state testing. The EDR wants to automatically blocked the use of secure browsers setup by the state.
End point implementation: the roll-out of Trend Micro was extremely easy!
Server/Device policies: creating both endpoint and server device policies is something we were looking for in a system, since we have a variety of both endpoints with users, as well as several unattended servers needing specific limitations.
License Management: removing Trend Micro from machines before destruction or retirement is done in a pinch. There's no struggling to free up an unused license
Only thing I would have to say that's negative is the reporting aspect. Basic reporting is good but still lacks some details. This is a problem with many of the software vendors I have encountered in the past as well. Reporting is still much better than most.
It is very easy to stick with a vendor year after year, and it is also easy to see the faults in a product and want to change. This is the first time I have renewed with an antiviurs provider as others have been less than ideal and caused issues where there were none before, so while it isn't perfect, it is the best of the bunch currently and I am hopeful that it will continue to improve in future versions.
While the product is solid, I do find there are an excessive number of sections you can navigate to. It takes some time getting used to, but it is a very powerful product. It's not something you'll master right off the bat.
The dashboard is user-friendly and allows for an IT admin to quickly deploy the software. The users do not even notice the program running in the background. From the dashboard the IT department can monitor all the workstations for issues and maintain good health of the network.
It has been difficult at sometimes, the support people at one point told me that they couldn't tell me information about OfficeScan because it was knowledge that was passed down from engineer to engineer. The issue was that if you used the msi for the install any further installs would require the msi to have the same exact name or else the install fails and corrupts the install. This information is not listed anywhere on trends website. Support kept trying to get me to use the exe for installs instead, but we use SCCM and msi's work better. We had to write a script to come up with a solution so that we could uninstall the software and install the new software. Trend did provide the technical expertise to help with the script and had us work with one of the developers in order to resolve that issue. So they did fix their screw up but it took a while and several complaints.
When comparing to Cisco Duo, I felt like the product offered more than just MFA on RDP. When comparing to Silverfort, it came down to pricing. Silverfort was double the cost and I didn't like how Silverfort had separate SKUs. If you wanted MFA on everything the cost increased dramatically.
When comparing trend micro apex one to Symantec Endpoint Protection there is a definite and stark difference. Symantec cannot find or stop viruses but it has an easy to use agent upgrade management system. On the other hand Trend micro seems to find and stop numerous viruses including things that are not viruses. And the upgrading used to be an issue but it is supposed to be better now, in apex one
Being able to see right away during a Penetration Test that the product detected anomalies, but our MDR service didn't. It allowed us to go back to the MDR service to show them the results and fix the issue from slipping through the cracks.
By satisfying the requirements from our insurance provider, our premiums didn't go up (MFA on RDP).
Since the product is a full suite of protection rolled into a single product, we've seen ROI through cost reduction and simplified management. And while we haven't measured performance, one would logically assume that systems will perform better with a single product installed vs several.
