"The most valuable features of Trend Micro Smart Protection are the email gateway and R & D which have contributed to their additional capability and development."

"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."

"The solution should improve its mobile management solution."
"This product would be improved if it had more monitoring capabilities so that it could stop threats before they break into the network and damage it."
"The only notable concern is the level of support in the particular region of Sri Lanka. Following events in the past two years, the quality of technical support has regrettably declined."
"The threat response could be a bit better."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection needs to improve its compliance features to cover more domains, such as BCIDSS rules. Enhancements in this area would enable quicker and more comprehensive compliance reporting."
"Documentation-wise, they are a disaster. If you want to know something about Trend Micro, you will not find anything useful from Trend Micro themselves. You have to basically dig some blog, or you need to seek some expert to help you understand what they are offering. I have never seen such a good product with such disastrous documentation. Feature-wise, almost all vendors are providing the same features, but it is all about the integration. For example, Trend Micro is promoting their endpoint protection suite, but they never mention about the integration that they are offering with their EDR solution. They are treating each product as a separate island, and you don't know much about their integration. It would be good if they can focus on integration."
"It is onsite. It does have its challenges in terms of scalability."
"We found an issue on the server-side. Sometimes, it slows down the servers if you install it on the SQL."
