We are currently using Trend Micro Worry Free and are looking to move forward with Trend Micro's next line of protection. We have been using Trend Micro products for many years and have always been happy with their service and quality. In this day and age, a security solution that had advanced threat detection and behavior monitoring is a must.
  • Advanced detection and behavior monitoring
  • Multiple platform choices, on-premise or in the cloud
  • Customer service has always been top-notch.
  • Tend Micro is one of the leaders in security.
  • Mobile platform
1. Overall a well-rounded platform for small to medium-sized businesses. I don't think this would be a good solution for a large business.
2. Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite with XGen helps decrease critical data loss.
3. The Sandbox option is optional.
4. Office 365 security is only included in Smart Protection Complete.
5. Gives you the option to store passwords for applications in your environment and also URL passwords.

  • ROI is kind of pointless when it comes to security. It is a must have.
I have been using Trend Micro for many years and have always had excellent support. Their support engineers are very helpful and usually easy to understand. They have helped troubleshoot with email delivery problems, data loss prevention setup and questions, and helping add exceptions to protection rules for certain applications.

It's being used throughout my whole organization on each computer being used in our network basically for security against any kind of malware or virus. It provides a better defense against any virus for your PC, mail server, data centers, cloud environments, networks, and endpoints, etc.
  • Provides better integration across multiple platforms.
  • Automatic and re-settable time for scan.
  • Includes a message security gateway for specific applications like Office 365 SharePoint.
  • Documentation is something that can be improved here.
  • Licensing is overly complex and needs to be improved for different features/variations.
  • Install is difficult.
Protection against malware, ransomware. Easy to use. A password manager is a good tool with all the passwords that we maintain.

We have been using Trend Micro products for over 10 years now, only to find each version is better than the next. There is always an inspiration to grow as a company to fulfill the needs of customers and growing times.
Configuration and setup is straightforward. Management is easy and captures all the data you need.
I only ran into issues with upgrades and breaking the database sometimes. But Trend Micro support is always awesome and helps fix the problem. I would recommend the product if it doesn't break the bank $$.
  • Virus and Malware Protection
  • Monitoring and Definition Updates
  • Management Reporting
  • The ability to use more third-party apps and OS Support
  • Check patches before deploying
  • More remote features
A scenario where Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite did well was when a virus was found in the system and blocked from further spreading in the network due to Trend Micro.
Some less appropriate issues would be flagging legit items as virus. I see a lot of spyware and adware issues but there are no specifics on the issue, only that it was found and removed.

  • We have stopped multiple infections of ransomware from spreading.
  • Lost some productivity when database crashed
  • Updates tend to slow system down
We selected Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite because we originally deployed with their company and it was best on cost savings to stick with the same company. The products are getting better, and we have more ability to look into our devices for malicious infections. The other applications were too slow and did not manage as well.
I love the support Trend Micro gives to its clients. It never fails to get a rep on the line that can help solve a problem quickly. There was never a need to wait in line to have an issue solved. Everyone was genuine and nice, even when I was frantic! I appreciate all their hard work.

We use Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite as a computer protection software. When we purchase new computers for our teachers or staff, we always add Trend Micro to provide protection. Trend Micro is currently being used on each computer that is used on our network. We will continue to utilize this service with each new computer.
  • Customer service
  • Ease of use
  • Expense
For our school, Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite is a perfect fit. As new computers are purchased, Trend Micro is purchased at the same time and it updates regularly. I would think that Trend Micro is well suited for any company that uses technology. We will continue to use it with each of our computers.

Trend Micro Smart Review

Score 1 out of 10

It is not being used any longer. It was so difficult to install, and initially unstable with poor customer experience the decision was made to move to another platform. The install process was a nightmare, having to utilize multiple reinstalls, calls to support and ultimate frustration. Had it installed, but it was quite unstable. I uninstalled it and went with a new product despite the cost.
  • Price was attractive.
  • Improved installation.
  • Better trained support staff.
If you need just a quick, easy product to install, this would not be the product. If you have extensive time, staff, and no other deadlines, you might give this a try. But if you are short-staffed and only have the TM instructions, it might be tougher. I would recommend having staff on hand that has prior TM experience.

  • Because of the difficulties, we elected to quickly move to another product and the implementation was much easier and more successful.
  • Made for a bad experience, but no long term issues caused.
Everything I've used and installed before and since has been easier to implement and support. TM had attractive pricing, however, that was negated by the overall experience.
When calling support they did not seem overly familiar with the product nor how to address the issues we were having.
