A Comprehensive Security Solution That's also User-Friendly

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the full suite of features including endpoint security, email security, and cloud app security to protect our network and devices from all types of cybersecurity threats.

Pros

  • Adds a second layer to office 365 filtering and often finds things that were missed.
  • Built in XDR provides more details on a threat than you'd normally have.
  • Overall Easy to use but still very powerfull.
  • Built in web filtering is easy to use and helps when users are offsite.

Cons

  • It would be better if there were an unload password for each policy instead of one for the whole organization.
  • We have one app that gets blocked with no log of any reason why, there should be a better way to troubleshoot that other than just closing the AV every time. Allow listing has not worked in this case.
  • When something is blocked it should specify exactly which setting or feature blocked it to make it easier to use the allow list or adjust.

Return on Investment

  • Reduction email security threats
  • Setup and management costs are low
  • Low learning curve

We migrated from Panda 360 adaptive defense after Trend became our MSP providers' recommended next-gen AV solution.
