The Trend Vision One Endpoint Security platform provides antivirus and malware detection, and endpoint visibility. The product suite can be extended with associated applications that cover mobile endpoint protection, endpoint encryption, as well as network and server vulnerability protection.
Well, that's an easy one to answer... it's very well suited to all aspects of our operation. In our office network environment, I've been able to trust CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR to catch several inadvertent malware downloads by end users that were not paying attention. I don't have any experience with scenarios where CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR is inappropriate to deploy
Before Trend Micro OfficeScan we used Symantec Endpoint Protection and although it was very easy to deploy and to update agents it couldn't find a virus if you pointed it out with a neon sign. We were always getting hit with different viruses but since we migrated to Trend we no longer have that problem. Trend has definitely been preventing those kind of outbreaks successfully.
The product has two important aspects, centralized console and an agent which is typically installed on every machine. When the product is installed on a dedicated server then all computers can readily get updated while in the same network (provided the agent is installed on every machine). This helps the machine to avoid any kind of virus attacks.
Even if the machines are not in the same network where the console is being run it can directly get all updates from the Trend Micro server directly and the machine is still protected. Hence, it is not necessary that users have to visit the office or internal network to get the update, once the agent is installed on the machine then they can get the update from anywhere as long as the machine has access to the Internet.
Once the agent is installed on the machine the users can themselves do a full scan and even check the logs themselves.
Only thing I would have to say that's negative is the reporting aspect. Basic reporting is good but still lacks some details. This is a problem with many of the software vendors I have encountered in the past as well. Reporting is still much better than most.
It is very easy to stick with a vendor year after year, and it is also easy to see the faults in a product and want to change. This is the first time I have renewed with an antiviurs provider as others have been less than ideal and caused issues where there were none before, so while it isn't perfect, it is the best of the bunch currently and I am hopeful that it will continue to improve in future versions.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR is a turnkey solution that is easy to deploy and operate, providing protection without requiring heavy internal management. The 24/7 coverage ensures continuous monitoring and response gives me peace of mind and allows me to focus on business issues. Integrating with Slack allows for timely alerts directly in existing workflows. Reporting is clear, concise, and easy to understand for both my teams and upper management. Support is generally OK and responsive, but as previously mentioned offshore comprehension issues can occur. Still, the overall quality and reliability of support is OK.
The dashboard is user-friendly and allows for an IT admin to quickly deploy the software. The users do not even notice the program running in the background. From the dashboard the IT department can monitor all the workstations for issues and maintain good health of the network.
It has been difficult at sometimes, the support people at one point told me that they couldn't tell me information about OfficeScan because it was knowledge that was passed down from engineer to engineer. The issue was that if you used the msi for the install any further installs would require the msi to have the same exact name or else the install fails and corrupts the install. This information is not listed anywhere on trends website. Support kept trying to get me to use the exe for installs instead, but we use SCCM and msi's work better. We had to write a script to come up with a solution so that we could uninstall the software and install the new software. Trend did provide the technical expertise to help with the script and had us work with one of the developers in order to resolve that issue. So they did fix their screw up but it took a while and several complaints.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR stands out against Palo Alto XDR to me by offering fully managed 24/7 MDR, which took the burden off my team. While Palo Alto XDR provided adequate protection and integration across network, cloud, and endpoints, it required a lot of in-team expertise for us to manage it. We changed to CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR because of its white-glove service, incident response, and support and much better ROI for us.
For me, Trend Micro Apex One with its low performance is the best option at the time to buy a solution like this, with its flexibility through on-premises or saas deployment options you can choose the option that best fix to you, has an advanced automated threat detection and response against an ever-growing variety of threats.
Since the product is a full suite of protection rolled into a single product, we've seen ROI through cost reduction and simplified management. And while we haven't measured performance, one would logically assume that systems will perform better with a single product installed vs several.
