Challenges with using Trend Micro endpoint security products

Difficult to Use

Customers report that deploying and managing Trend Micro endpoint security products is complicated and time consuming. ThreatDown offers a simple installation process and ongoing automated implementation guidance provided by our built-in Security Advisor.

Confusing Licensing

Trend Micro’s Vision One platform utilizes a “credit-based licensing system,” which customers have reported is difficult to understand. ThreatDown provides straightforward, easily-understood licensing.

Limited Ransomware Rollback Protection

Trend Micro has very limited ability to restore files impacted by ransomware attacks. Files on workstations are limited to a maximum of 10 MB in size in order to be restored. ThreatDown’s 7-day ransomware rollback solution can restore files on workstations up to 10X what Trend Micro can offer.
