"While the single console offers partial end-to-end visibility into our IT security environment, we leverage additional solutions to achieve comprehensive coverage, so this area can be improved by Apex One."
"The integration capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"It needs a consolidated manager as there are too many parts to currently manage it."

"We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command."
"Apex One's threat and vulnerability management has room for improvement."
"One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it."
"We had issues with our system integrator who didn't have enough experience with Trend Micro. There aren't many enterprise customers in our country who use Trend Micro on the level that we are using it, so it might be a little too complex for them. Trend Micro is typically used in small companies that do not need all the advanced features that we are looking for. The integrators don't have experience deploying these features. The scope is broad, but Microsoft Defender is simpler."
