Trend Micro is known for its malware protection capabilities. Independent tests have shown that it offers nearly 100% malware detection and removal rates. Its cloud-based AI technology provides real-time protection against emerging threats. However, the solution can be resource-intensive, possibly slowing down systems during scans.
Kaspersky also provides high malware detection and removal rates, scoring perfect or near-perfect scores in independent tests. It uses a combination of traditional signature-based scanning and heuristic analysis to identify threats. Kaspersky is less resource-intensive compared to Trend Micro, causing minimal impact on system performance even during full scans.
Trend Micro offers flexible licensing models, allowing you to protect multiple devices with a single license. Its prices are competitive. Its premium package, the Premium Security Suite, costs $149 per year for 10 devices, but prices are frequently discounted, sometimes by over 50%.

Its settings are easy to understand, and the software provides clear documentation for its features. However, some users find its notifications a bit intrusive.
Kaspersky’s interface is intuitive, and its dashboard provides a clear overview of your security status. The software provides an online knowledge base with detailed information about its capabilities. However, some users find its settings a bit complex to navigate.
Here are the main solutions provided by these two security vendors for businesses and large enterprises.
Trend Micro offers a variety of features designed to protect a corporate network, including intrusion detection and prevention, anti-malware, web and email security.
Trend Micro Vision One uses AI and machine learning technologies to detect and block threats in real time. It also offers advanced threat protection, which can help protect your network from zero-day threats and other sophisticated attack tactics.
Moreover, Trend Micro Vision One provides visibility and control over the network. It visualizes security events on the network, and enforces security policies to ensure it stays secure. It also integrates with other security tools, allowing you to manage all your security from one central location.
Trend Micro XDR offers extended detection and response capabilities, providing organizations with a multi-layered security solution. The solution combines data from email, server, cloud workloads, and the network, with cross-layer detection to identify and respond to threats that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Trend Micro XDR uses machine learning technologies to enhance threat detection and response. Additionally, the solution offers security analytics capabilities, enabling security teams to visualize attacks and gain access to forensic data for deeper investigation.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is designed to protect businesses from a range of threats, including malware, ransomware, and phishing.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business uses a combination of traditional signature-based detection and heuristic analysis to identify and block threats. It also includes device control, web control, and patch management.
In addition, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business provides real-time protection against threats by scanning files, emails, and web traffic for malicious activity. It also offers a centralized management console.
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert (EDR Expert) provides deep visibility into your endpoints, allowing you to detect and respond to threats more effectively.
EDR Expert uses AI and machine learning technologies to detect anomalies in your network that could indicate a threat. It also provides detailed forensic analysis, so security teams can understand the nature of a threat, and intervene to eradicate the threat on endpoints.
Furthermore, EDR Expert includes automated response capabilities. This means it can automatically take action to contain and eliminate threats, minimizing the potential damage.
Kaspersky also offers EDR Optimum, a lighter version of EDR Expert. EDR Optimum provides basic endpoint detection and response capabilities, making it a good choice for small and mid-sized businesses.
EDR Optimum includes features like threat detection, response automation, and incident investigation. It also integrates with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business.
Like EDR Expert, EDR Optimum uses AI and machine learning technologies to detect threats. However, it lacks some of the advanced features found in EDR Expert, such as detailed forensic analysis and advanced threat hunting capabilities.
