The reason we invested in Trend Micro XDR was to consolidate security operations and monitoring. On top of that, we invested in their managed detection and response service, which they can provide on top of the ETA service, which makes our lives easier. You can say that with it, we need fewer hands.

We're able to gather a more simple view of what was going on in our infrastructure. Before this solution, we used a SIEM system. Trend Micro XDR made monitoring more simple, and we trusted them as a security partner.

It definitely has improved our visibility of all of our ongoing items in the infrastructure. We can get a good overview of what's going on across our network and what our security looks like.  

Having everything under one management console and having them monitored from one place is the most beneficial.

It saves time and we do not have to invest in a lot of products to meet all of our use case needs.

It's quite simple to monitor everything under one console. It makes life simpler for our operations team. 

We have the solution everywhere, including email, network, endpoints, and cloud. This is important to have this coverage. As a former incident response analyst, having visibility everywhere is really important. Having everything correlated into one place increases visibility.

We have centralized visibility and management across our production layers. They are also improving that from month to month. It's important for us. In security operations, the fewer places you need to go to have a look around, the easier it is. Back in the day, we had to open ten different consoles. Now we just open one. 

The most important thing for us as a customer is that we can spend more time in other places as it's simpler to have that overview. We have much more time for other tasks. 

We use the solution's executive dashboards. We like that we can drill down from the dashboards into XDR detections. It helps the C-suite understand. However, it also helps us drill down by allowing us to choose which views we want. 

We have a trial version of the Risk Index. We have a daily look at it and it gives a nice overview of our vulnerability management and what the attack surface looks like. It helps us prioritize our daily tasks. 

The Managed XDR service was great. It helped quite a lot. We had to get used to working with them and they with us, however, now it's quite an easy task and the advisory and alerts we get from them have been helpful. The availability to work on other tasks has helped us improve in other areas. It's positively affected our business. Having this product means that we are improving in a lot of different areas that we also need to focus on. They can do the monitoring better than we can do it ourselves. We don't have the manpower to do it on our own so it helps a lot to have them help with management.

We use the Attack Surface Risk Management capabilities, which are also in the trial period. It's absolutely helped us to identify blind spots in our environment. It made us realize that, for example, users were using their work email for private services such as Netflix or other services that, if they had a data breach, would be an issue. With this, we can reach out to those users and explain to them how to act on the Internet, not to use your work email for private services, et cetera.

It's helped decrease our time to detect and respond to threats. It's likely 80% faster now. It's also helped us reduce the time we spend investigating false positive alerts. They do a lot of the initial work for us and come back with the actions we need to do on our part (if any). It's helped us reduce false positive investigations by 50%.

We're using some of the automation capabilities of XDR. It's helped us save time. At the moment, it's likely helped us save 20% of the time we'd normally spend on manual processes. 

They should increase their potential for third-party integrations. We'd like to see integrations with other IT security vendors that are not currently there. 

I'd like to see central management of all products.

I've been using the solution since it came out, essentially. I've been working with it for eight or nine years.

The solution is quite stable. 

We don't have branch offices, however we have 2200 clients and 800 servers. 

It is easy to scale if you are a bigger organization. We do plan to scale further in the future. 

We have Service One, which includes three-year support. It is 24/7/365 support and they are quite good. 

Positive

Before Trend Micro, we used Splunk. The use case and monitoring were easier with Trend Micro. We found it easier to fulfill our needs using Trend Micro. 

I was involved in the deployment process. Some of it was quite complex. Unfortunately, we had an on-prem environment that wasn't well taken care of. The migration was hard, however, that was more our fault. It could be easier to migrate, however. 

It took us about nine months to fully deploy. 

We already had some products in the cloud, however, we needed to migrate all of our endpoints. The on-premise agent needed to be placed in the cloud and we had some problems as some clients did not have an opening to the internet, et cera. There was some preparation we needed to do. We needed to do some upgrading before migrating. 

There were two to four people performing the implementation. 

The solution requires maintenance and we have a person that manages that. 

We had help from Trend Micro professional services. 

We have noted an ROI. Having them monitor our IT solutions allowed us to have fewer people on the team. It's saved us in man hours. 

The solution is affordable. You do need to pay additional fees for some of the functionalities.

We also evaluated Microsoft's solutions. 

I'm a customer and end-user.

We realized the benefits of the solution pretty fast - within a couple of weeks. We knew the benefits beforehand which is why we chose Trend Micro. The possibility of having the solution monitored by the vendor itself was quite helpful. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

I would advise others to prepare your needs beforehand. If you know those, you will know Trend Micros is the right fit for you. It's great. If there's a problem with central management or monitoring, Trend Micros is quite useful. 

We had a SIEM in place, but we wanted to do some behavioral analysis of the files that are getting deployed. We wanted to check to ensure that it was nothing with the external registration side. We needed an EDR solution for checking and monitoring everything deployed on this target machine or our host machine site. It will check and detect if any malicious files are there or not. We are getting alerts related to that kind of thing. So we used to check those alerts on the XDR, and we used to, like, do the incident and response to that kind of thing there.

If you have a SIEM in place, you will only get the network logs. XDR gives you more control over what files are getting deployed, how they are being executed, and how they can potentially harm your system. XDR doesn't work like a normal antivirus solution, which uses signatures to detect and block threats. XDR detects based on behavioral analysis and blocks most things.

It reduces the investigation time because it gives you everything, including how the file was executed, which processes it called, the file name, the stemming, and the time. When we have the endpoint name, we can reach out directly to the endpoint owners and communicate with them regarding those alerts.

I like XDR's workbench feature and observed attack technique. It generates an alert once certain conditions are met. For example, let's say there's a threat called malicious.exe being deployed on your system. It will generate an alert with information like the file path, location, hash, etc. You also see a relational matrix showing how that file was executed and which processes were installed.

It's a SaaS solution that covers endpoints, email, and cloud. We have agents installed wherever data is being pushed, so it used to give us a payload. Cloud functionality is one of the most critical things because we don't generally have visibility for cloud applications. Once we install the agents, we gain visibility into all the things integrated on the cloud or any SSH attempts.

XDR offers visibility across layers. This is critical when you want to implement some policies and apply exclusions for particular parts of the system that should not get scanned. It's easy to implement those things. Let's say you want to deploy policies for multiple systems. Using Apex Central, you can directly push the policy to various systems and cover the logs of several systems at a time. 

Sometimes, there are some false positives. For example, once a user had a file in their system named recovery.txt. The solution was flagging that as a ransom note, so we were confused. It isn't that serious, but it should be improved. 

Also, XDR should improve its coverage of the latest IOCs. Their suspicious object management works, but the coverage should be improved. It will take one or two months to get those things covered. XDR will detect on a behavioral basis, but these databases will not get updated daily like some other solutions. If you're dealing with new ransomware or malware, it may take around a month before it's covered by Trend Micro. 

I have used XDR for two years.

Trend Micro XDR is stable. We've never had downtime. 

Trend Micro XDR is scalable if you can pay more for licenses. 

I rate Trend Micro support seven out of 10. Their technical support is good. They reply regarding your cases. However, if you don't reply to them properly, they may close your case if you are not reviewing that kind of thing. 

Neutral

 I previously used Crowdstrike, which is an MDR, so it was totally managed by the Crowdstrike team. They were monitoring every alert that was generated, so it's hard to compare it to Trend Micro XDR. It was somewhat similar, but CrowdStrike is more proactive than Trend Micro, and it has greater coverage of IOCs. I have also used SentinelOne.

It's a SaaS solution deployed across multiple locations covering 20,000 endpoints. It doesn't require any maintenance aside from updates. 

I rate Trend Micro XDR seven out of 10. If you plan to implement XDR you should be aware of the IOC coverage and follow up with the Trend Micro team. Most things are covered, but it takes time to add and deploy all that stuff. 

I did a POC with Trend Micro on our servers. We were testing for detection capabilities. We wanted to use it for security protection.

Once we deployed the solution into our organization, we were able to view logs. From there, we could handle detection. 

The detection was very good. It helps with threat hunting. 

Its interface is good. We were able to find logs easily.

It's been working well on our organization's network. I'm satisfied with the level of coverage. The policies have been very useful and detailed. 

We use the solution's executive dashboard. We actually have two or three dashboards. It helps us spot vulnerabilities. 

It's helped us reduce workloads. By getting logs, we could reduce detection time. The threat hunting became easier. We're still working through a POC, so I can't speak to if it will enable us to work on other tasks. We're still testing. 

The solution has helped us to decrease our time to detect and respond to threats. We can respond to threats in half an hour to an hour.

When an incident occurs, it will detect the incident within half an hour to an hour. I'd like to see alert time reduction so that they show up on the dashboard faster. 

I've been using the solution since 2021. 

The solution is stable. 

I've never tried to scale the solution. For my purposes, it's fine. I can't speak to how scaling would go. Likely, it can scale. 

I've been satisfied with the technical support. They are very good. 

Positive

To deploy the POC takes less than one week. Implementing the cloud is fast. It's not complex to set up. 

The pricing is expensive. Most organizations cannot afford XDR. 

I don't deal with the licensing directly. 

I've looked into other solutions, like Cortex. Trend Micro offers good visibility. I prefer Trend Micro. It's good. I like the useability. 

I'm an end-user.

We have yet to use the attack surface risk management capabilities. I only downloaded the sensors and installed them on the current phones and servers. We've only done this in the last week. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We use the solution primarily for monitoring. It's for running investigations.

If we need any endpoint logs, we're able to access them. It helps us with investigations. We can see, for example, if we are investigating email, the processes running, and any anomalous activity. It detects that kind of stuff. 

We are using MicroVision One and it helps us with centralized visibility and management across protection layers. Having a centralized view is very helpful. If we have everything in one place, we can see in one display all of the virtual information and attack rates, et cetera.  It makes it easier for an engineer to monitor everything. 

We use the risk index feature for the endpoints. It helps with the analysis of malware. It can automate scanning for day-to-day activities. 

Trend Micro helped us to decrease our time to detect when responding to threats. It has also helped reduce the amount of time used to investigate false positive alerts.

The support has been delayed at times. They could improve that aspect of the solution. 

I've been using the solution for about six months. 

The solution is stable. We've had a good experience. 

The solution can scale. I'd rate the ability to scale eight out of ten.

The support response can be delayed during investigations. 

Neutral

We did not previously use any other solutions. 

We did not handle the deployment. It was handled by Trend Micro.

There is a bit of maintenance required. However, the vendor handles it. 

Trend Micros handled the initial setup for us. 

I'm on the client side. I don't deal with the licensing directly. 

We use the solution across our network.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The information you get for the solution in terms of investigation, makes things easier. 

We use Trend Micro XDR for endpoint detection, endpoint user protection, and virtual security.

We have deployed Trend Micro XDR across our entire environment, which is important for our organization's threat detection capabilities.

We use Trend Vision One to monitor our environment 24/7. Centralized visibility is very important to me and my management. In addition, management wants to see centralized dashboarding. This is very important.

The centralized visibility and management across our protection layers have improved our efficiency.

The executive dashboard is important to our organization. I use the dashboard each morning and evening.

Trend Micro XDR has helped our organization improve its defenses against external and internal threats.

The Managed XDR service has positively affected our team's workload by providing 24/7 monitoring. This has saved our team 20 percent of their time to focus on other tasks.

The time to detect is under one minute.

The proactive approach is the best feature. When Trend Micro XDR detects a virus in our system, it stops it and secures our branches.

The centralized dashboard has room for improvement.

I have been using Trend Micro XDR for almost two years.

Trend Micro XDR is stable.

Trend Micro XDR is scalable.

The technical support is good. We receive a response within ten minutes.

Positive

We switched to Trend Micro XDR from Kaspersky because it is a better product and we have not faced any issues.

The deployment took one week and required a few people to complete.

Trend Micro XDR is expensive.

I would rate Trend Micro XDR ten out of ten.

We have over 100 Trend Micro XDR users.

We use Trend Micro XDR for rapid response to end-user computing and security concerns.

As a health system, one of our core challenges is ensuring full visibility into our attack surface. We have many thousands of endpoints and end users that must be properly secured and protected. Our primary use case was to improve visibility, and response time, and reduce complexity. That is why we chose Trend Micro XDR.

Trend Micro XDR is deployed on Trend Micro's private cloud.

We are using Trend Micro XDR on our endpoint and server infrastructure. The coverage is extremely important to our organization.

Trend Micro XDR provides us with centralized visibility and management across protection layers.

The centralized visibility and management across protection layers have helped our efficiency. The most significant advantage is that we used to manage these platforms with three or even five engineers, and now we're managing them with one.

It is extremely important to us that we can drill down from the executive dashboards into XDR detections. This provides us with the single pane of glass view that I mentioned previously. Being able to see at a high level that there may be systems that are behind on patch levels or need additional service or support, and then being able to drill down specifically to an individual machine, which may be unique in our environment, is very helpful.

We use the risk index to evaluate ourselves holistically, including our performance against best practices and security, as well as our performance against other healthcare systems around the world. This allows us to identify areas where we may have vulnerabilities or where we are particularly strong so that we can focus on improving in the areas where we need to.

Trend Micro XDR has helped us improve our resource utilization through automation, reducing manual effort and enabling faster response times. In under a week, we had tuned our environment to perform optimally.

Trend Micro's Managed XDR service has significantly reduced our team's workload by nearly 50 percent, providing a big improvement in our overall threat intelligence and endpoint security.

The Managed XDR service has enabled our team to work on other tasks. This additional availability for our staff has allowed us to reduce our need for contractors. If we are overburdened, we will hire contractors to assist in other areas of the business. However, because we have become more efficient, I have been able to hire some of those contractors and reduce the burden of contract labor.

Attack surface work management capabilities have been extremely valuable. The user and identity services provided by CREM help us to focus on and improve visibility into end-user behavior, including that of endpoints such as laptops and desktops, the network, cloud infrastructure, and applications.

The ability to detect our blind spots has significantly improved our security posture. Seeing everything clearly in a single, easy-to-understand dashboard allows us to allocate our resources directly to where they are needed most, enabling us to respond faster.

The biggest advantage of Trend Micro XDR is that it has helped decrease our time to detect and respond to threats by around 50 percent.

Trend Micro XDR has helped reduce the amount of time we spend investigating false positive alerts by 60 percent.

Trend Micro XDRs automation capabilities save us around ten hours per week. 

We are very impressed with the single pane of glass visibility that Trend Micro XDR provides. It allows us to work from a single console instead of having to use four or five separate tools to maintain the same level of security. This is extremely helpful.

The manageability and artificial intelligence built into Trend Micro XDR are extremely helpful.

I've seen a lot of improvement in just the year that we've been with Trend Micro. However, I think that continued optimization of the environment towards automation and orchestration, a kind of layer that sits underneath all of the technologies, would be extremely important. When we look at the speed and sophistication of attacks today, such as ransomware, malware, and cyber threats, we need tools and technologies that can react faster. So, I think integration with automation, orchestration, and artificial intelligence will help tremendously.

I have been using Trend Micro XDR for one year.

Trend Micro XDR is remarkably stable.

Considering our growth rate of nearly 30 percent per year, Trend Micro XDR is scalable enough to keep up, so we have no concerns.

Technical support is exceptional. They are extremely engaged and supportive of everything we have needed.

Positive

We previously used Sophos but switched to Trend Micro because of its enhanced capabilities.

The initial deployment was straightforward. The deployment took between one and two weeks to complete. 

Moving between security tools requires an analysis of the existing environment to understand the current configuration, rulesets, and architecture. This analysis is quickly followed by implementation to improve the security posture and validation to ensure that the infrastructure is not only properly protected, but better protected than before.

Three people were required for the deployment.

We have been able to reduce some labor costs and use our resources more efficiently. These savings of hours per week are definitely a return on investment.

The solution is fairly priced.

I would rate Trend Micro XDR ten out of ten. The solution works extremely well for us. In a healthcare environment, the types of data and the sheer size of the attack surface are somewhat extraordinary. Having the enhanced capabilities of the Trend Micro toolset has been very important to us, and I strongly recommend it.

We have 11,000 users, five acute care hospitals, and around 80 clinics.

Two people are required to maintain Trend Micro XDR for the investigation of threats and incidents. When threat intelligence comes in from Trend Micro or we receive an alert, we validate or respond to it. A lot of this process has been automated, which has helped tremendously.

I strongly recommend Trend Micro XDR and advise doing a proof of concept against any current tool on the market, as it works extremely well and a POC can clearly demonstrate this in a short period of time.

Normally, we use the solution for day-to-day investigations. We get alerts when something is going on in the environment. Right now, we are using that tool for the asset management team to identify services or applications that are not allowed for governance and all of these purposes. In addition to that, we use it for isolating devices. We also have a service with them, an MDR service. They analyze information, and they do investigations for us as well.

Mainly, we were concerned with the visibility of the environment. We didn't have a tool that was able to allow us to see or have visibility of what the endpoints were doing on the servers in the environment. That was the main reason to adopt this solution - to have visibility on the environment as, in the past, we didn't have that capability.

The isolation of devices has been really important. We like all the attack surface-managed NPEs. It's helping us to identify devices and protect us on the network. That's in combination with third-party integrations as well. We have integrations that are helping us to identify devices using our vulnerability management services. It's scanning the network and it's sending all that data to VisionOne. With that information, we identify devices that are protected on the network and the environment.

The reports are a really good feature for showing results to upper management levels.

The search features help us try to correlate information and identify any suspicious activity. That's another feature that has been really important.

We are using it everywhere except for the network, so we don't have the network discovery service from Trend Micro. However, we have it on endpoint servers and email and also the cloud as well. We use cloud conformity to connect that piece.

Trend Micro has a feature called Vision One, that provides us with centralized visibility management across all protection levels. That's helping us to have a centralized view of the console. That's the main reason why we still have that product.

Centralized visibility is important. When we are doing investigations, we can do everything in one console instead of moving to different screens or different windows. The centralized visibility and management across these protection levels helped with our efficiency. It helps us to identify quicker, any potential threat, or any special activity.

They have this feature called Risk Index which I use sometimes to validate the level of rates we have. We don’t use it often - maybe once every one or two weeks. We use it to rank our security operations overall. Mostly, we just check it out of curiosity.

We use the Managed XDR service that they have. It relieves a lot of workload especially during investigations or interim reports about any particular activity - especially with the coverage after hours. It is helping us with the capability there. Also, if something really bad is happening, we have eyes watching all the activity, which is nice.

Using this Managed XDR service enables our team to work on other tasks - especially when we, in certain ways, allocate some of the investigation pieces. We basically create a request for them to investigate things, and that allows us to focus on other things to optimize our security toolset. That's really helpful.

We use the attack surface risk management capability they have. We use that heavily right now. It was a big use case in the past few months. We use it to identify multiple devices without protection, the applications that have been used by our users, and which ones are risky. We are using that on a regular basis. It's helped us identify blind spots and more assets. It's positively affected our security posture by improving a lot of our visibility.

XDR helped us decrease our time to detect or respond to threats. In the past, we didn't have that visibility. When we enabled that tool, at the beginning, it was a little bit noisy. That's something to be expected coming from a new tool. However, after testing through these years, things are improving, and now we can see better results, especially during investigation alerts.

The solution has helped us to reduce the amount of time we spend investigating false positive alerts. In the beginning, there was a large amount of false positives. Right now, we are day to day trying to reduce them. At this point, they are lower compared with the beginning of the implementation. Things are improving. We are reducing false positives as we go which is great.

We do use the automation capability a little. However, we noticed some limitations, especially on the playbook side. The API we use. We are integrating that with another product, a SOAR product. The playbooks are a little bit limited in what they can do at this point. Let's say that we want to connect on a specific API. The templates we cannot modify very well. When we noticed that limitation, we decided to go and use Trend Micro VisionOne API and connect it to other tools to develop that activity using another product.

Under attack surface management, when you go to the specific sites or applications that the users are accessing, the capability of downloading that report could be better. Let's say, as an example, we want to identify users using chatGPT, for example. We want to download that data through an API or through the GUI. Right now, it's not available as an option. Maybe having the capability of extracting data from VisionOne for specific areas of the tool could work. That's something that could be useful, especially if we want to generate that report and send it to specific teams. Often, we don't want to provide DX to all the people. Sometimes it's easier to just have that file and share that file with the people who need to have that information. 

I've been using the solution for around three years now. 

The stability is good. It's not very common to have any outages. Sometimes there may be a glitch, however, it's rare. Normally we have 95% stability.

The scalability is good, especially when we are talking about third-party integrations. We can have visibility and control of all different assets. So we can have good scalability and visibility and know more about the environment in places where we didn't have any idea things were happening. It's a SaaS tool, and we don't have to do any maintenance, and it's easy to deploy. It's pretty straightforward.

When we have specific issues or problems connecting some products we ask for support. They respond really fast. They always try to mitigate and resolve all the issues we have. If they cannot resolve the problem, they normally share some suggestions on how we can mitigate future problems.

Positive

We did not use other solutions, although we did use Apex One for a long time. We have also used an EDR product.

I was involved in the deployment. I was the one leading the data during the implementation. The process is pretty straightforward. It was a little tricky to reduce the false positive alerts, however, the portion of deploying to the environment and connecting the pieces was simple. 

From our side, we had three or four people involved in the implementation. 

We had some help with the deployment and we had some guidance in the beginning. We requested some support from our account manager.

The pricing is good if you look at all the compatibilities and features offered by the product. There are features that can increase the pricing. We can put some credits to some features, however, if we want to enable them. With the amount of credit we have, we are covered for all of our needs.

I'd rate the product eight out of ten.

It is a really good product and easy to deploy. They allow you to have more visibility on your environment, especially if you have any kind of XDR solution. It will increase the visibility of what's happening in the environment. Also, from the perspective of doing maintenance updates or patches, the cloud is the way to go. The product management team does a really good job of increasing the features, and they are listening really closely to what the customer needs via feedback.
