"The user interface is the most valuable feature."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done."
"The performance is good."
"The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."
"They have a wide range of products, including a couple for virtual patching, which is very important."
"The antivirus is the most valuable aspect of Trend Micro Apex One."
"I believe that optimization is a really good feature on the front side."
"The AI and machine learning feature is the most valuable because it helps mitigate threats based on an organization's behavioral patterns."
"No down time in terms of the backend having to be updated because it's on cloud."
"Trend Micro Apex One is a seamless solution compared to others."
"The most valuable feature is that it's normal, and not for a specific server."
"The most favorable features have been behavior monitoring and zero-day threat protection."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"A minor issue in Trend Micro Deep Security is that once the tool is upgraded, it shows some machines as offline or not reported while showing a recent update as outdated. The tool has some server connection issues."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"The solution could use more integration."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"The price is the main concern of the clients."
"We have had some false positives with One Endpoint Security's ransomware detection. We received an alert, but it wasn't a ransomware attack. When we did an investigation, we found it was only malware."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"The performance could always be improved."
"The reporting can be improved. We'd like to have had broader insights as to what was happening on a machine."
"I can't think of any specific areas that need improvement."
"It would be better if it was easier to administer Apex One."
"Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster."
