However, there are areas for improvement, such as licensing clarity, hypervisor support, and support for implementation.
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"The most valuable features are web security, email filtering, and content filtering."
"It serves its purpose and works well."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual patching."
"Very straightforward and very easy to implement."
"The integration options of Trend Micro Deep Security have been particularly valuable."
"The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the ease of use and its user friendly. For example, it is simple to change the subnet masks."
"Any administrator with basic networking knowledge, in a couple of days, can be in full control of their networking without going through a networking engineer."
"The stability is great. That's one of the things that we can quantify and leverage through NSX, because it's less complex. We have the availability to manage multiple things at the same time. You can identify problems before they manifest."
"The product has valuable features for security and network extension."
"The most valuable features for us at this early stage are the interface and the integration with existing VMware solutions."
"The most valuable features are the micro-segmentation and integrated security options."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the load balancing and routing of firewall rules. Many of the features are beneficial."
"Some of the key features I find most valuable are the highly graphical user interface, virtualization of networks, and Microsoft application compatibility. It has all the functionality that we require."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"The problem with this solution is that if you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the cost."
"They are still working on the company integration from TippingPoint because this was a recent acquisition from a few years ago. So, a Tipping Point integration with Deep Security, having one single pane of glass dashboard, would provide us a simple use case."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"VMware NSX provides a lot of automation capabilities, but there is still room for improvement."
"Their licensing model should make it easier to purchase licenses."
"I would rate this product an eight because it's a good product but it needs more work. They should fix some of the bugs."
"If there are other solutions already in place, it can be difficult to implement."
"It's a good product, but the way that it has got so many multiple levels that need to be purchased makes it expensive and cumbersome."
"We would like tenant segmentation available in future releases."
"The training costs a minimum of $3,000, which is expensive and should be reduced."
"It could be cheaper!"
