"The endpoint is a key battleground for cyber-threats, but IT buyers are faced with a saturated market that complicates decision making," said Wendy Moore, vice president of product marketing at Trend Micro. "This is where reports like Gartner offer tremendous value. A cybersecurity platform can only be as strong as the vendor's customer support. We thank our customers once again for their invaluable and overwhelmingly positive feedback."

The Voice of the Customer report adds aggregated peer perspectives to detailed individual customer reviews which focus on the direct experiences of implementing and operating a solution. Only vendors with 20 or more eligible published reviews from customer organizations with over $50 million in revenue are considered. Reviews were collected over an 18-month submission period.

Trend Micro had a 4.6 rating out of 5 upon 340 overall reviews in the report, with 71% of its reviews contributing five stars and 26% four stars. Ratings are categorized into Product Capabilities, Sales Experience, Deployment Experience, and Support Experience.

This follows a 2018 Gartner Peer Insights 'Voice of the Customer' in which Trend Micro was also named a Customers' Choice vendor.
