See why customers choose Trend over Microsoft
Protection
A broad range of security solutions, including endpoint, network, email, and cloud, leveraging the Trend Vision One™ platform for a holistic view of the enterprise.
Microsoft’s suite of solutions demonstrates strong performance in specific domains, particularly where their products have a longstanding presence and dedicated development, operating systems, office productivity, and enterprise management. However, the solutions are limited in range and not as comprehensive or mature, especially in newly entered markets or areas with established specialized vendors.
Detection
Diverse integrated portfolio leveraging the power of Trend Vision One delivers cross-layer threat defense, leveraging 35+ years of threat research and vulnerability intelligence powered by the Trend Micro™ Zero Day Initiative™.
Microsoft’s suite of solutions requires excessive configuration to provide high detection levels. It also requires the expertise of highly trained individuals across multiple domains to detect malicious activity using the company’s threat-hunting app.
Remediation
Automated workbenches and AI developed by Trend Micro enhance cybersecurity by providing clear, step-by-step remediation instructions. From the moment a threat is detected through post-incident analysis, Trend’s centralized response management empowers users to improve security measures and update policies and procedures.
Microsoft’s security solutions are known for their robust capabilities, but to achieve optimal levels of threat detection, they often necessitate extensive configuration. To fully leverage the potential of Microsoft’s security tools, organizations may need to invest significant time and resources into fine-tuning settings and defining parameters that align with their security needs.
Supportability
Extensive support across a wide range of solutions, including legacy environments no longer supported by Microsoft. Additional unmatched supportability across other environments, including Linux.
Compatible with the latest versions of Windows. Legacy Windows environments have limited support and require additional costs. Microsoft offers alternative ways to manage, but those methods may run the risk of misconfiguration.
Deployment
Automated deployment mechanisms bolstered by comprehensive network monitoring offer methods like deployment scripts, security APIs for workloads, and virtual machine templates. These tools facilitate the seamless integration of diverse environments with the ability to uninstall existing security products for streamlined migration.
Certain Microsoft solutions require manual deployment and detailed configuration steps to fully realize their potential. This results in hands-on setup and meticulous adjustment of settings and parameters to align with organizational security requirements.
Cost
Pricing models and suite availability are transparent so potential users can easily understand the cost and features for each package. This clarity in pricing and the flexibility of credits facilitates informed decision-making for customers looking to choose the best option for their needs.
As a scalable, cloud-native SIEM and SOAR solution, Sentinel’s pricing is based on the volume of data ingested. This can increase the operational costs for customers with large amounts of data or those whose data input fluctuates significantly. Careful planning and management of data flow into Sentinel is required to avoid unexpected expenses and to ensure cost-effective security operations.
