A well-designed solution with a straightforward implementation that can be used for endpoint security
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Trend Vision One - Cloud Security addressed our organization's pain points related to cost and things related to it. The nicest experience with Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is that I haven't had any real issues, and it's doing its job effectively. People can access things as they want, and productivity is not impacted. Security and productivity are sometimes inversely related. If you have more security and authentication, you put employees through more steps, sometimes affecting their ability to do their jobs. I haven't had that concern with Trend Vision One - Cloud Security.
What is most valuable?
I really like Trend Vision One - Cloud Security's dashboard. I think dashboards, in general, have become standard. What I like about the solution's dashboard is that it provides you with a lot of detailed information. You can easily work through it to determine whatever the issue is. I really like the solution's dashboards with its colors and icons. I am busy, and I have a lot of systems to worry about.
I appreciate systems that bring me the information clearly so that I can quickly figure out what's going on and address it. The way it's set up, where you can create rules and priorities of how the user should be treated, is fairly easy. It's centralized and more simple. It has a lot of drop-down menus that make it easier to navigate. Those are the things I appreciate the most about Trend Vision One - Cloud Security.
What needs improvement?
Trend Vision One - Cloud Security should address threats automatically without having user input. The solution should be more intuitive and do its job well because we don't want it to impact users who are not malicious.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trend Vision One - Cloud Security for about 18 months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Trend Vision One - Cloud Security One is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is a scalable solution. A few 1,000 users are using it in our organization.
How are customer service and support?
I normally do web searches before I go to technical support because I feel I can figure it out. You generally want somebody a little more knowledgeable than you are to assist you with technical support. You usually don't have frontline engineers taking phone calls. However, you at least feel like they have enough information to provide value or guidance on a particular issue.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were previously using Microsoft Defender. We had to eventually stop using it because it was not working well. It was creating redundancies and other issues and slowing things down.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is more straightforward than complicated. It went fairly well. We had a couple of hiccups, but it was nothing major.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented the solution through an in-house staff. The solution is deployed across the organization. We have two co-located locations.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a return on investment with Trend Vision One - Cloud Security. I haven't had major issues like downtime or malicious attacks that caused the company hours of productivity. With Trend Vision One - Cloud Security, we haven't had any data breaches or data seizures. After the solution's implementation, I haven't had productivity issues. The solution is doing its job and preventing worst-case scenarios.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
With everything I deal with, Trend Vision One - Cloud Security's pricing is somewhere in the middle. The general price was a concern, but it was more about finding the right solution for us. The pricing of most of the solutions I looked at was fairly competitive with each other. So, at the end of the day, price wasn't the biggest factor.
What other advice do I have?
We wanted a solution that would fully integrate with our existing systems and not necessarily replace existing ones while ensuring that everything worked together. Although almost every solution promises universal compatibility, more often than not, it's a gigantic misnomer, and a lot of solutions don't talk to each other correctly. Solutions don't integrate correctly, and they create other additional problems. The more general answer is finding a solution to protect the organization better as the number of devices expands exponentially.
We're hiring people. Everyone has at least three or four devices now and wants access to the cloud. It creates concern on my part. There are many entrance points, which is a huge deal, and they're able to productively use all their different devices successfully. In IT, you almost want to be invisible. We're almost like referees in sports. You only hear about us if something goes wrong. You don't really hear about us if everything runs smoothly.
So, I needed a solution that I could trust. Pricing wasn't a huge deal. I would consider Trend Vision a market leader, although it's hard to say because there are so many big and small companies. In my research process, I normally talk to folks in similar companies to figure out what solutions they've tried and what's working well. That way, it gives me more evidence because my credibility is based on a successful rollout and a successful implementation of a system.
If it doesn't go well, that makes it that much harder for me to do the next one. So, I do a ton of research. I compare solutions and talk to other IT people about their experiences with different solutions.
I have a multi-cloud environment, and we use Trend Vision One - Cloud Security to protect it. I like its ability to anticipate. Sometimes, hackers mess around and do different kinds of penetrations where they're trying to attack the network. It's like a precursor to an actual attack, which Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is able to detect. So, you get an extra layer of protection that gives you a heads-up when somebody's probing your system.
The solution warns you about people out there who are looking to penetrate your system and get access to your data even though they haven't sent anything malicious yet. Any kind of automation where the system is learning and addressing things up front without assistance from an IT person is very, very helpful. It just creates another layer of security that makes my job easier and makes me feel safer.
I have days where I'm concentrating on other things, and I have to take a vacation every once in a while. I don't want things to go off the rails when I am not around. So, it's nice to have systems in place that are doing that job and making sure that the system is protected.
The details in the data are very helpful. They put threats in the context of a global basis to inform us of similar threats seen elsewhere. For example, a giant casino corporation, MGM, was hacked by a ransomware attack. That taught me that you can have the greatest system in the world, but it doesn't really matter. If something like the MGM attack happens to us, I'll get all kinds of emails from my management.
They would ask me if we are protected, and it would spike their interest for a second. However, they would calm down within a week and get on with something else. I can assure them that we have procedures in place that wouldn't allow somebody to call up and somehow get admin passwords reset.
It's always helpful to be able to go back to them and say that I feel confident in the system that we have to protect us from such attacks, and it's working well. Our management is worried about productivity and sales, and they want to know that I'm confident everything is good.
I use Trend Vision One - Cloud Security, and it provides protection for all cloud workloads. We considered it with every kind of potential system, like an A la carte or a more robust system containing the A la carte parts. I like a security product that would address all the different issues.
There are things related to programming that I haven't even addressed yet. In general, it's a nice, robust system. There's no fear of integration because it's one system. I know the back end has been correctly configured, and it will work well because it's all the same engineers and the same company.
It is always more helpful to have a more robust solution because you don't have to go back and deal with additions, which can have an impact on productivity, and that's not good.
I found the solution's visibility very robust. I really feel like there's more to explore. The solution's visibility, detail, and advice on how to address it have been good. With some systems like Microsoft, you have to go in and follow the instructions, similar to building a piece of furniture for IKEA. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security seems a little better than that. It's a little easier to navigate the solution.
Like Microsoft, Trend Vision One - Cloud Security has a facility where you can go somewhere to get advice or feedback if you have an issue or a question. I haven't had too much trouble navigating the system successfully. That tells me it's built intelligently, keeping the end user in mind.
The solution's full visibility has been very helpful in producing reports, producing data related to compliance, and also just being compliant in general. In order to be able to report or know whether we're being compliant, you need that visibility and data. Compliance, in general, has a long way to go, and I know there are companies trying to deal with that. Compliance, in general, is important.
We have some state-federal things we have to worry about. I try to follow the guidelines that different organizations come up with because they're thoughtful. They put a bunch of engineers in a room and try to devise how things should work. Having a platform with good visibility and the ability to get that information quickly is very helpful.
The full visibility and control of our cloud environments affect our ability to resolve complexity in those environments because it breaks it down. It's able to do some analysis on its own and give you some insight into addressing it. That makes the issue less complex and easier to address.
The solution has done a pretty good job of controlling costs on AWS. I think it has additional value to that. The solution has saved us tens of thousands of dollars on AWS costs per month.
Trend Vision One - Cloud Security gives us insights into the cloud security posture and the entire cloud architecture. I find it to be a more user-friendly and easier way to get the information I need and monitor the things I need successfully.
The solution protects all data, whether on-premises or in the cloud. That's part of the reason we went with it because you can use it on-prem and cloud. Some solutions are only cloud, and I don't know of any solutions that are just on-prem. I've been with the company for three and a half years. We were a lot of on-prem when I started, but we've migrated a lot. Some of the solutions I looked at did not have that ability, which was a must-have.
I looked at a bunch of different solutions before choosing Trend Vision One - Cloud Security. Our biggest issue was we needed a solution that would do on-prem and cloud, and such solutions were few. If Amazon, Google, or Microsoft have a solution, that makes it easier for me to sell to management because those are companies they've worked with for decades. I would talk to people and ask them what they're using and how they feel about it.
I also ask them about a solution's customer service and follow-up. Technology salespeople always present their solution as the one that will solve all your problems. I do a ton of research on the front end because once I sign my name and start implementing something, it better work well. I look at a lot of third-party analysis and testing. I also look at the websites, but mostly, technology overpromises and under-delivers. So, it's important to get feedback from people who are using it successfully.
Whenever I roll out new technology, especially something of this size and scope, I always make sure that I give myself room and time to do things in case there are issues. In general, over the last 20 years, solutions have improved on their implementation. The engineers are doing a much better job of talking to customers, taking feedback, and creating systems that could be implemented in a more straightforward manner. A lot of progress has been made in the implementation part, and Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is a good example.
There's an ongoing interaction with Trend Vision One - Cloud Security because it's a monitoring solution. There have been updates, but we haven't faced any downtime or similar issues.
Three of us are admins officially. I handle the bulk of the solution. The person who did the implementation is also an admin, and we have another person on my team. I wanted to ensure that no matter the circumstances, we would have somebody who felt comfortable using the solution successfully.
Trend Vision approaches our business like a partnership, creating solutions that make sense for my particular company. Trend Vision demonstrates that partnership through their product's usability, quality, thoughtfulness, and design. Trend Vision understands that there are companies like mine that are on-prem plus cloud.
They try to position themselves for particular markets by having a solution that deals with the needs of companies like ours. They have a product that is broad in its appeal and works well enough for different company sizes.
Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is a well-designed solution. The solution has been successful over the time we've had it implemented, and its implementation was straightforward.
I advise users to talk to people like me who have implemented the solution. The best place to get an answer about the solution's features is from somebody who's using it. If you're looking at a solution, ask somebody using it about their level of satisfaction and what the solution's real-world implementation was like.
Testimonials are great, but the company will only use the good ones. So, do a lot of homework on the front end and pick your products wisely because your reputation is on the line every time.
Overall, I rate Trend Vision One - Cloud Security an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Helps organizations understand their environment better, but it doesn't show violations for specific compliances
What is our primary use case?
My organization uses Trend Vision One - Cloud Security and to get information based on business-critical applications running on the cloud environment. We get information on workload security, vulnerabilities, or third-party package issues. We also focus on configuration management changes that are suspicious.
Four teams in our organization use the tool across multiple regions. Since my team is an information security team, we have visibility into all the different teams and how they use it. We support the teams with alerts and issues. If an alert comes up, someone from my team will respond. If we need more information, we work with the team impacted because of the alert to understand the issue and do the remediation with them.
How has it helped my organization?
We implemented Trend Vision One - Cloud Security to enhance our security and visibility into different cloud networks, especially on AWS. We deal with different environments, storage, and S3 buckets. We wanted to ensure we have full visibility of file-based threats, network threats, and any misconfigurations we may have when a new environment is being spun out.
We can detect crypto mining easily, see what's going on, and block it. Lastly, we use the tool to focus on compliance because we need to stay compliant. The tool really helps drive our compliance information and deliver requirements to auditors and other regulatory organizations that need necessary information from us.
The biggest jump has been on the compliance side. We actively see the vulnerabilities, the third-party package issues, misconfigurations, and network threats. The solution is helping us get the information and do the remediation to achieve compliance. We do SOC 2 and PCI. We are able to drive our vulnerability management program well.
What is most valuable?
Trend Vision One - Cloud Security helps us take proactive actions on network threats and cloud misconfiguration. These are the two pain points that we are trying to solve. The product helps us understand our environment better.
What needs improvement?
They should provide a way for users to see violations for specific compliance. Suppose I focus on SOC 2 or PCI compliance. If I see an alert that tells me the exact details of the control for the compliance I'm violating, I can prioritize the remediation of the issue and ensure that the systems are compliant. I'll be able to provide evidence to the auditors accordingly.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for a year and a few months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is pretty robust. It beat out other competitors we were looking at in the market. We feel comfortable and happy that Trend Vision can meet all our business use cases.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
About 70 to 75 people are using the product in our organization. The product is scalable. That is why we are rolling out more environments into it and looking to add more non-AWS cloud providers like GCP. We are testing GCP with Trend Vision.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support has been good so far. Right now, our issues are about ensuring we understand the system because it's just been a year and a few months. We are rolling out new things and onboarding new environments. The support has been good. We have had no issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used Sumo Logic, but it wasn't as robust as Trend Vision One - Cloud Security. Sumo Logic didn't have enough visibility for us to understand the compliance gaps in our cloud environment. It was a manual process. Somebody had to read through all the information to provide that.
How was the initial setup?
The product is currently deployed on AWS, and we are also rolling it on GCP. My team and the infrastructure team were involved in the deployment of the solution. The initial deployment was pretty much straightforward. We did the testing with the Trend Vision team and the internal teams to ensure it meets our needs.
Once we felt comfortable, we slowly did the beta testing in one environment and looked at different reports and results. The internal team learned how to use the platform to the best. Then, we slowly rolled it out into different environments. From start to finish, the entire process was about two months.
What about the implementation team?
A Trend Vision team of two to three people helped us with the onboarding. When there's an update, we get information on the new release from Trend Vision. Someone from my team does the testing to ensure that nothing breaks down if we push the update. Once we feel comfortable, we push the changes. Usually, there's a small amount of downtime to ensure everything is working.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We looked into a few other tools to see how they can help us and whether they meet our current use case. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security was the one that came up on top. We sought information from all the vendors on areas like detection and response, compliance, and remediation. In remediation, we saw what elements Trend Vision was reporting on and how much information we had to make a judgment and act upon it. Trend Vision's platform did a great job in helping us break down the different silos, understand the visibility of threats, and secure our business-critical applications.
What other advice do I have?
We have recently started onboarding some elements on GCP. We are using Trend Vision One - Cloud Security on both AWS and GCP. It is an initial use case to test and see how we can ramp up in GCP. It's an ongoing journey.
Trend Vision One - Cloud Security provides context to the data it provides to us. The alerts that come up have full information. It really helps us understand the issue, whether it is a false positive, known behavior, or an issue we need to resolve. Accordingly, our team can make the judgment.
We do not use Trend Vision One - Cloud Security. It is something that we are planning on using as we expand our cloud environment. We'll need to see what applications are being run. It can help us in resource planning and add more visibility to our cloud environment.
The solution has helped us reduce costs on AWS. Cloud misconfigurations help us understand where to save on the provisioning account. When we spin up the environment and see unnecessary resources, we can definitely cut back on them. It really helps us understand our cost. We can work with the infrastructure team to provide the reporting so they can make the adjustments accordingly. The tool has helped us save 50,000 to 60,000 per month.
Trend Vision One - Cloud Security gives us insights not only into the cloud security posture but also into the entire cloud architecture to a certain extent. We are slowly rolling Trend Vision One - Cloud Security into different areas. As we onboard new systems and applications, we get more and more visibility. Our initial use case focused on the cloud applications and ensuring they run as they should.
As we see more use cases popping up, we're able to onboard new things on Trend Vision One - Cloud Security and deploy them. We have better visibility. In another six to ten months, we will see a lot more improvement in how we handle security issues and how much more useful Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is for us. We want to ensure that all our resources, network, storage, and pipelines for source codes are secure. The more things we do, the better it will be for us. It's a lot to take on right now, so we are slowly rolling it out.
The product is only for the cloud. We are a customer of the solution. We didn't think about being a partner. It was never a thought that we came across. The tool is value-driven. If my organization is on the cloud and I need insight and visibility, Trend Vision would give us a good return on investment. It really helps me drive the conversation with my internal team and the senior leadership. We can show them how there has been a huge culture shift in how we respond to different security issues after deploying the solution.
There's a lot we can do with Trend Vision. We haven't fully reached the product’s true potential. As we're making that journey with Trend Vision, we are doing more and more things and learning more about the product and different areas we can utilize. In the next six to ten months, we see our use cases improving from seven and a half out of ten to almost an eight and a half to nine.
Anybody evaluating the solution should consider how the tool would enable the developers or the infrastructure team, how they would automate security and compliance checks, and how they plan to use Trend Vision for auto-remediation issues. It will really help drive a lot of business use cases. It will help the new customer understand how Trend Vision helps with the key use cases we see daily and how to ensure that the infrastructure stays compliant. We consistently show compliance, and our cloud security doesn't go down.
Overall, I rate the product a seven and a half out of ten.
