SentinelOne vs
Trend Micro
Trend Micro: Complex and Expensive
Trend Micro is a legacy endpoint solution that requires a complex portfolio of products, driving up cost, creating operational friction, and widening security gaps that can lead to missed detections. Here’s why SentinelOne is the ideal Trend Micro alternative.
Trend Micro
Intuitive, Unified Platform
Eliminate the overhead and administrative burden of managing a complex and demanding console. SentinelOne delivers a single, lightweight agent and an intuitive, cloud-native console for deep visibility across your entire enterprise—from endpoints to cloud to identity.
Platform Requires Multiple Modules
Although Trend Micro has tried to unify its offerings, customers are still required to use multiple modules in order to run effective detections. This yields excessive alert volumes, complex management and additional costs.
Purple AI is the Most Advanced AI Security Analyst
Accelerate SecOps with natural language querying on first- and third-party data, hunting quick starts, natural language summaries of results and events, and suggested follow-up questions. Customers have unlimited queries, and it’s all included in Singularity Complete.
Limited, Unintuitive AI
Trend Micro offers an extremely limited set of AI assistant capabilities, none of which are integrated with the rest of the console. For investigations, customers must navigate multiple screens to leverage the AI assistant.
Single Agent and Unified Platform
SentinelOne utilizes a single, lightweight agent and an intuitive cloud console to provide unified visibility, fast investigations, and control over your entire endpoint infrastructure. With flexible deployment options, this consolidation drastically reduces complexity and data costs, and frees up your team to focus on security, not tool management.
Difficult to Operationalize
Managing Trend Micro can be a full-time job. Customers deploying Trend Micro need stringent training for effective use of the platform. Constant tuning of detections and evaluation of alerts is necessary.
Stop More Threats with Behavioral AI
SentinelOne’s Behavioral AI engines autonomously detect and block malicious activity in real-time, even zero-day and fileless attacks.
Poor Detection Efficacy
Trend Micro customers are plagued with alert fatigue and unmanageable alert volumes. In the latest MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, Trend Micro generated 64,000+ alerts compared to 71 for SentinelOne.
Fast and Easy Investigations, Powered by Purple AI
Purple AI’s threat hunting quick starts, AI-enriched alert summaries, and guided investigations allow analysts to easily conduct deeper investigations and scale response.
Storyline® automatically links related events and delivers real-time, actionable correlation and context.
Slow and Ineffective Investigations
Investigations are cumbersome and require manual steps across multiple Trend Micro interfaces. With a poor user experience and limited context, customers experience delayed and ineffective investigations.
Lightning-Fast Remediation
When a threat is detected, SentinelOne’s extensive automation and one-click remediation and rollback feature instantly reverses malicious changes, drastically outperforming manual remediation processes.
Limited Capabilities
Trend Micro’s remediation capabilities are highly manual and do not leverage automation for heavy workloads. Customers are limited to a full system reset, and no rollback support is offered.
The Standard in Security Excellence
Tried and trusted by the industry's leading authorities, analysts, and associations.
