"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual patching."
"You can scale the solution to different versions."
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"It is a scalable solution. If required, we can scale it more. That's not an issue...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The antivirus itself is also lightweight. It does not hamper the performance. It is not resource-hungry. It does not impact the overall performance of the device. It is just there, and it is easy to use."
"It's made it easier for us to monitor the security environment in general."
"The most valuable feature is the antivirus."
"This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it."
"The product has proven to be very flexible over the years that we have had it."
"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."
"The end user perspective is very good because the solution isn't complex to learn and support is readily available."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"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."
"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."
"Trend Micro Apex One could include more in-depth endpoint protection."
"Whether the license is monthly or annual depends on the deal of the company."
"It would be great it can support endpoint encryption."
"Trend Vision One Endpoint Security should have a DLP (Data loss prevention) module."
"I'd like to see the different interface components combined into one, or be allowed to get to the agent management portion without having to log into the main console."
"The solution could improve security. It is important to always keep the organization secure."
"In the future, the solution should include the XDR feature."
