What do you like best about Trend Micro Web Security?

We have been using the cloud solution. The implementation and setup are straightforward and fast, with plenty of support from the Trend Micro Technical team.

The Web Gateway interface and portal provide many different summaries, reports, and views for the IT team to understand and evaluate the web performance.

The configuration and maintenance are also straightforward and user-friendly, even for inexperienced IT staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far interscan has been really good at performing and protecting my system but I feel that the reporting feature could improve a little bit. I don’t find it very customizable and easy to add things and make a perfect outcome report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Computer protection"

"Basic interface with robust performance."

3/5

What do you like best about Trend Micro Web Security?

Apart from the licensing/invoicing for this product, it serves our needs and fairly painlessly. Our Windows boxes (both physical and VMs) are fairly minimal so we don't have a need for anything beyond basic security, frequent definition updates and event detection. Deployment is relaatively simple although the interface is very outdated and unpolished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trend Micro Web Security?

Archaic interface and occasional nagging messages about upgrades, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
