We performed a comparison between Trend Micro Apex One and Trend Micro Deep Security based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Trend Micro Apex One appears to be the superior solution. Any issues they are currently facing, they feel, will likely resolve with future updates. However, our reviewers found Trend Micro Deep Security to be expensive and difficult to deploy, and weren’t satisfied with the level of support.
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable features are web security, email filtering, and content filtering."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"There is a degree of set it and forget it in regards to the actual endpoints and what you can do with the console, which is nice."
"It has improved functions by bringing us complete security on our clients' virtual environment."
"One of the advantages for me is that it is very easy to use."
"The XDR feature which provides us with real visibility into our environment is the most valuable."
"Its real-time features are valuable. It is in real-time, and it works fine."
"The most valuable features are the vulnerability protection and virtual patching."
"It is easy to learn. In just two or three hours, our system administrator could learn how to use it. It is easy to integrate and easy to manage."
"No down time in terms of the backend having to be updated because it's on cloud."
"It provides comprehensive visibility into all client logs and seamlessly integrates with other products, such as CM."
"There's excellent data loss prevention to help prevent purposeful or accidental loss of data."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support."
"The product isn't very user-friendly."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
"I've not worked with CrowdStrike Falcon, but one of our customers also had CrowdStrike Falcon on some of the devices. I was only supporting Trend Micro. They had a ransomware attack, but Trend Micro didn't detect that particular ransomware attack, whereas CrowdStrike did."
"The only thing that I would like to see changed or improved in the next release is when it reports C&C callbacks, to make it easier to trace, to see what's doing that, whether it's a program checking for updates or a malicious program."
"There is a need for enhancement in certain reporting formats."
"The integration capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"The security features need improvement."
"Apex One has some room for improvement on the agent side. I want to get more from the logs and those kinds of things. I want to see whether the agent has the proper updates or any issues with the machine itself."
"The solution could be more proactive by using AI to assess the production landscape and compete with other products."
"When I was setting this up for one of my clients, I was not able to deploy the DLP."
"The portal is a little bit slow in loading. The cloud portal or management control should be a little faster. There seems to be a lot of load on their servers over there. Maybe they are using one server for multiple customers. It would be great if they can increase server performance in the cloud. Its technical support and reporting can be improved. There is no proper reporting, and there is no PDF or things like that. They should include detailed reporting. An attack happened at a client's site, but we couldn't get the report on the same day. We were unable to provide a detailed report to our client. We approached the technical support, and even they didn't give proper answers. They need to improve the reporting capabilities, or the technical team should support us in providing these reports. They should include reporting in the solution. They should also insert sandbox analysis in Apex One."
