We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and Check Point CloudGuard Network Security based on our users' reviews in six categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security's initial setup can vary in difficulty, while Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is generally described as straightforward. In terms of features, Trend Micro Deep Security offers comprehensive security solutions for data centers, including virtual patching and advanced options for endpoint security. Check Point CloudGuard Network Security provides valuable features like VPN, IPS, URL filtering, and centralized management. Price-wise, Trend Micro Deep Security is considered costly, as is Check Point CloudGuard Network Security, although it is seen as competitive. Both products have received mixed reviews for their customer support.
"The Capsule solution and application filters are the most valuable. It is pretty straightforward to implement, and it also has good stability and scalability. Their technical support is also really good."
"The tool's most valuable features are threat prevention and protection mechanisms."
"It offers remarkable flexibility in how we configure and utilize the resources."
"The VPN features in CloudGuard Network Security have been the most valuable for us."
"The product gives analytic reports."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its management console."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized dashboard, which is used for managing all of the Check Point Security Gateways."
"The product has allowed us to develop applications from the cloud - even with large environments and well-segmented security lines."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"There is a degree of set it and forget it in regards to the actual endpoints and what you can do with the console, which is nice."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"There are compliance issues for legacy applications and after applying OS security patches. The product's HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System) modules do the job for you automatically, without any downtime."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"DLP, Data Loss Prevention, and the complexity of how we manage the console and how this client, or this tool, will notify us when there is something going wrong within the server and endpoint, is good."
"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"Check Point CloudGuard Network Security could improve by making it easier to configure."
"We utilize logging systems, and geolocation is crucial for us as some applications must only be accessible from our country. However, there have been occasional issues with this feature."
"The convergence time between cluster members is still not perfect. It's far away from what we get in traditional appliances. If a company wants to move mission-critical applications for an environment to the cloud, it somehow has to accept that it could have downtime of up to 40 seconds, until cluster members switch virtual IP addresses between themselves and start accepting the traffic. That is a little bit too high in my opinion. It's not fully Check Point's fault, because it's a hybrid mechanism with AWS. The blame is 50/50."
"For major upgrades, it's still necessary to destroy the VMs and re-create them again. Doing that would mean new public IPs as well."
"Check Point CloudGuard is not a feature-centric product because Check Point concentrates on security."
"Its architecture and user interface need improvement. The user experience for this solution also needs to be improved, particularly in implementation, management, and operations."
"The product needs to improve support. They don't consider my case the number one priority even though I want a quick resolution."
"Having a web UI in the VSX (or something similar) would be nice."
"The implementation can be inflexible and not easy, as it requires knowledge of things like virtualization and administration on Windows."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
"I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"We have had some issues when it drains some of the resources of the server."
"The initial setup was complex."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"The cost is very high."
