See why customers choose Trend over Microsoft
Protection
A comprehensive suite with a broad range of security solutions, including endpoint, network, email, and cloud environments, all natively integrated and built from the ground up providing true XDR protection.
Microsoft’s suite of security solutions demonstrates strong performance and protection capabilities. Microsoft’s security platform is, however, designed primarily for Microsoft environments, making integration and protection capabilities with non-Microsoft devices cumbersome.
Detection
Diverse integrated portfolio harnessing the power of Trend Vision One™ to give provide multi-layered threat detection across an XDR platform. Threat research and vulnerability intelligence through Trend Micro™ Zero Day Initiative™ (ZDI) enables higher detection levels of unknown threats. Boasting the most substantial vulnerability research in the industry.
Microsoft's security solutions offer advanced threat detection utilizing behavioral analysis and machine learning. They provide comprehensive coverage against a variety of threats, including malware, viruses, ransomware, and phishing attacks. But with a high level of false positives, especially for non-Microsoft devices, threat detection levels are often questioned.
Remediation
Automated workbenches and AI provide clear remediation steps from threat detection and investigation analysis to containment and remediation and post-incident analysis, allowing users to update security policies and procedures easily.
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 operating systems, including Windows and Linux. Legacy environments are included, ranging from on-premises to hybrid, SaaS, and multi-cloud.
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 with extensive network visibility provides multiple options, such as deployment scripts, workload security APIs, and virtual machine templates for an easy transition into any environment.
Microsoft security solutions can be deployed using various methods including local scripts, Group Policy, Configuration Manager, or third-party tools. Despite its broad flexibility, initial setup and configuration can be complex, particularly for non-Microsoft devices and optimizing the deployment for specific organizational needs might require additional effort.
