TrendMicro is a complete solution for antivirus protection, as it protects against viruses in general that traditionally threaten computers, but also protects against spyware, ransomware, Trojans and other malicious programs that try to damage or take over the computer. Once in operation the program monitors the system protecting the navigation, the emails, which makes navigation a pleasant process away from threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the program is excellent however you have to buy an additional package for the protection of our youngest children, which I consider should be part of all the packages offered by the company, so it is convenient that you consider them to be part of all the versions.

What I like most about TrendMicro is how it protects you from the threats that are nowadays in the network, it protects you against ransomware, spyware and viruses in general, which makes it a complete option for the protection of your system and files. of your computer, it should be noted that it helps to protect emails, which means that you will not be surprised by hidden Trojans and viruses, which abound on the internet, on the other hand it helps you recover the computers that have been taken as hostages for viruses that do not allow you to use the computer, trendmicro solves you eliminating any threat from the system.

few things I do not like trendmicro, however I must mention that the fact of the installer file only allows to protect a single computer is a disadvantage to consider, this version does not have protection for the navigation of children, also does not have an administrator of passwords, and highlights the fact that it does not protect privacy in your social networks.

I've been using different versions of Trend for over 10 years, and the new XGen really seems to work well. We used Officescan at a previous employer, and we started here with OS and then moved to XG. So far, no zero-days, no ransomware (knock on wood). Reasonable memory useage, good single-console mgmt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes getting the client loaded is a little tricky (we used PDQ deploy and it generally works very well). If a previous version of Officescan is loaded, it can sometimes (rarely) crash and you have to manually remove the registry entries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an antivirus with a very good reputation, you only have to read the opinions that people express about it. It has a quite user-friendly interface, although there are better ones, it is relatively easy to use. It protects against a multitude of types of threats, including phishing, malware, or spam. It integrates perfectly in Windows 10 and MacOS environments, although for the latter there is only an English version. Trend Micro works with cloud-based antivirus security, also known as "Smart Protection Network," allowing for very secure work both locally and on the network. Thanks to its parental protection system, it will allow you to limit or filter access to certain websites that are considered inappropriate or harmful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To mention some negative points, when uninstalling it, it may cause some problems, it is a bit delicate in that regard. On the other hand, also highlight that the scan can be somewhat slow to complete. It shows too little information from the different reports or detections, I think this should be improved in future versions. For example, it is configured so that the antivirus practically does everything automatically, I understand that it seeks maximum simplicity for the user, without asking what to do, the antivirus makes these decisions for you by default, to change it you have to delve a lot into its different options, this for a more advanced user initially reduces decision-making, although it can be changed as I have already mentioned.

Ease of use; intuitive menu selections leading to relevant options based upon check results. When compared alongside other similar packages, I have confidence in Trend and have also purchased their software for use in my own home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An occasional false alarm but, as a business solution, practical and not overly problematic. There have been instances when a website has been flagged as dangerous but easy to correct (provided it is indeed safe), and better safe than sorry. Slight slow-down to web page retrieval during initial retrieval but nothing in excess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel safe and have not had a problem using Trend Micro. I have used it for over 10 years. I like they help direct me away from potentially harmful sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

got this problem straight away saying that although it recognized my validation code, it was unable to be activated until I called the number on the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it had a web interface to configure the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works. I haven't had any issues with viruses, so it works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
