[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1095156, member: 99014"] Trend Micro missed an executable with over 40 detections on VirusTotal (Python Stealer). There was no detection from any of the components. At this point, I reconfirmed by belief that TM is just not good enough. Additional observations, further to the mediocre protection: [LIST] [*]Console is very basic and can not be classed as an EDR at all, let alone XDR. [*]Agent is very slow to deploy. After deploying, most of the components are inactive and take long to activate. All in all, it takes about 20 min to get everything up and running. For one system it’s ok, but if I have to deploy on a few, I will easily waste few hours. [*]Agent is buggy, for example there was an alert I couldn’t close until reboot. [*]Uninstall is nightmare, I only managed to remove through Revo forced uninstall, the procedure was buggy. [*]There is high performance impact, constant CPU activity, at one point 16% with no explanation what’s going on [*]Cleanup of threats not deep enough and threat investigation is not automatic, it needs to be launched manually [*]Very much signature-based, very little power against unknown malware (struggling even with known one) [/LIST] I just don’t see how this product could be sufficient to protect even a very small business, let alone a large one.
