"We use Cisco IOS Security mostly for routers to route off the firewall. It's a next-generation device."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco IOS Security is posturing."
"In Pakistan, we only use Cisco because they have good local support infrastructure. Huawei and Fortinet don't offer direct support in Pakistan."
"The hardware is pretty stable. It's also a very good product performance-wise. Initially, it wasn't mature like a firewall and there were other leaders, but now they have included almost all the features of next-generation security. Basically, it's a good product to work with."
"It is less expensive than alternative firewalls."
"You can scale it when you need to."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"Cisco IOS Security could improve its security features. There are competitors that have some additional security features, such as Fortinet FortiGate. Additionally, there should be better synchronization with Cisco IOS Security and other vendors, and improved AI features would be beneficial."
"There are the usual bugs that are inherent to some software upgrades. Sometimes this provides some unexpected issues, however, it happens with all brands all the time."
"Signatures and other critical definitions need to be updated more frequently."
"The routers, don't have like long-term tendency features, or higher availability features available for the IOS. It could also use a better user interface."
"There could be a bit more functions on offer that could make it easier to use."
"It would be ideal if the solution had more capacity."
"I would like to see much more embedded security that works and that isn't a bolt-on."
"The initial setup is complicated."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
