“Unfortunately Trend Micro's experience with our Company is not satisfying, it has a lot of issues being deployed on a large scale, and causes problems with integration with other software, and actually stops important upgrades which are actually safe, it caused issues with our Network Monitoring software (Solarwinds Orion) and actually impacted our production badly.“

### "Service that helps to detect unsuitable or malicious sites."

July 8, 2022

4.0

Using the email information leak module and Pattern Micro-Manager centralized management together, you can reduce the manager's load with regard to information leakage countermeasures. In addition, provided that the unauthorized use of data can be identified on the basis of keywords, standard expressions, and file attributes, it is possible to avoid leakage of information from within the business. It has the ability to track and monitor sensitive data on network output points, personal devices, and SaaS applications, but even businesses that have any business smartphone or have SaaS apps enabled are completely secure.

Pros

Trend Micro Smart Protection Complete Suite, is a filtering program that blocks unwanted HTTP contact and prevents significant information from threats such as guided cyber attacks and ransomware. You will focus on knowledge processing duties on the organization with this program and speed up admin work. You can use it with faith since it is a part of the well-known Pattern Microbusiness. You will install the trial version and you can install it after checking compatibility, so you can be sure. InterScan Network Protection has a lot of functionality to protect the device from certain cloud threats until it gets irreparable due to viruses or external attacks. As well as being able to set up a whole protection scheme for safeguards against malicious programs and cyber metrics, you should even set up URL proxies, etc., to reduce the chance of information leakage from inside.

Cons

Currently, it's not the cloud version, but it would take longer to introduce it than the cloud version.

Reason for choosing Trend Micro Smart Protection Complete Suite

An administrator can control and protect the use of Internet communication in the business via a single console. It can be said to be great protection for information leakage steps such as unwanted entry, improper and a feature that can delete URLs.

### "Recommended if you don't mind support delays."

August 13, 2022

4.0

The product has a long history, and many release cases and the knowledge on the Internet is also considerable. With this in mind, it is easy to introduce and operate in environments and situations where it is not possible to spend too much on the cost of security operations and where experience and knowledge can go back to the past. Security precautions are also taken by restricting communication with firewalls etc, but I think the stability of antivirus software is very important. As a user, I feel that the existence of this antivirus software gives me a sense of security. In addition, due to the ease of management, the working time of the information system department can be reduced.

Pros

Although we update the server machine's version once a year, the client terminal automatically gets the information in the form of definition files, so we can keep the system up to date with almost no effort. I think it's also convenient as it's easy to see each client's computer's registry. For companies that don't want to spend a lot on installation, management, and operating costs.

Cons

However, the support is terrible. The response speed, quality, registration request settings, information collection, etc. are inferior to the above.

[AVG Internet Security Business Edition](https://www.capterra.com/p/199318/AVG-Internet-Security-Business-Edition/)

Reason for choosing Trend Micro Smart Protection Complete Suite

Previous knowledge and networking skills can be easily used during the introduction, and introduction work can be kept to a minimum. There are some hard parts and the cost of learning is considered low. No advice is required, and management and operating costs are minimal. As mentioned above, there is an advantage in that it is easy to reduce the cost of implementation and operation.

[Xcitium Endpoint Detection & Resonse](https://www.capterra.com/p/154967/Comodo-Endpoint-Security-Manager/)

Trend Micro Smart Protection Complete Suite has a strong brand image as the best enterprise endpoint security provider, and the low cost of explanation seems to be an advantage.

### "Trend Micro's Review by Hossam"

February 5, 2022

2.0

My overall experience with Trend Micro is not satisfactory & i don't recommend it for Large Enterprises, especially when you have to integrate it with lots of software, as we have experienced a lot of issues with it, which ended up terminating it & replacing it with another protection software.

Pros

Only its Pricing may be considered as one of its few advantages.

Cons

Unfortunately Trend Micro's experience with our Company is not satisfying, it has a lot of issues being deployed on a large scale, and causes problems with integration with other software, and actually stops important upgrades which are actually safe, it caused issues with our Network Monitoring software (Solarwinds Orion) and actually impacted our production badly.

Trend Micro has been innovating in the past decade and this can be observed in the quality of the solution. The latter is so lightweight that you barely notice that it is there.

Pros

So easy to implement and deploy on small to large scale. Management and support is even easier!

Cons

Not so much to comment about. The solution simply works great!

Pros

This program keeps me protected in all areas. It scans every day and will do additional scans anytime I need it to. I love that you can still continue to use the computer when the scan is being run.

### "A great cost-effective device protection solution."

February 19, 2022

5.0

The licenses are billed annually at a very good and economical price because it also offers web protection in the browser, email, anti-spam and attacks from external intruders. The protection is complete and has great performance on devices without crashing or failing.

Pros

The Trend Micro Smart Protection Complete Suite solution has everything we need to protect devices such as corporate computers and notebooks against intruders, worms, viruses and also hacker attacks. The system is simplified and easy to use for scheduling daily scans, fault finding, outdated software and viruses.

Cons

The system has some bugs in the smartphone version but we use it as the main one in Windows on the workstations. I don't see another problem.

### "Just difficult to use"

April 19, 2019

2.0

When I used the software, it made me worry that it was letting problems in and not letting me know since the software not only never detected problems even on a heavily infected machine but also slowed down any machines that it was installed on.

Pros

There wasn't really anything to like about the software other than it let you lock it so that the user was not able to remove it without your consent

Cons

It never did what it was suppose to and never found or prevented viruses

July 17, 2018

I no longer fear being attacked by a lot of spam

Pros

This application has many Pros, but the most important thing is that it keeps annoying unwanted emails at bay, I really like its ease of installation, its friendly interface. I have been using products from this company for years and they are synonymous with quality.

Cons

I think the updates are not as frequent as they are with other products of this same brand. but it is something that can be solved without major problem. It really is difficult to get negative aspects to this useful tool

February 27, 2022

3.0

It's user friendly and is great about scheduled maintenance etc, overall I felt protected however I was advised to switch due to not enough emphasis playing a role on malware protection.

Pros

Very easy to use and can be setup across multiple devices at no extra cost.

Cons

More focused as an anti-virus product rather than anti-malware.

It definitely does its job it scans thoroughly and I haven't had a problem with any viruses because it catches any sort of thing it scans for.

Not bad protection for the money.

Pros

We have this software on our office computers to protect against viruses and malware.

Pros

This software gives us the assurance that we are being protected against viruses/malware.

Cons

Not really a problem of the software, but I forget that it's there and I really should be checking it every now and then just to make sure it isn't finding things so I can alert our IT person.

March 6, 2018

3.0

Does the job, but not the best user interface.

Pros

I've managed a Smart Protection install at a client site for several years. In general, it does a decent job of filtering out the junk and passing legitimate messages.

Cons

The user interface is not well designed in my opinion. Often requiring additional steps to access info that should be at ones fingertips. Just because it's technical/ professional software should not preclude a degree of user friendliness.

Cons

Heavy performance hit, no hardened browser, webcam protection, and no unlimited plans which is a very useful feature to me
