Overall Satisfaction with Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen

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.
  • 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.

Would you buy Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen again?

No

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.
