Featured Reviews

Burak AKCAGUN - PeerSpot reviewer
A robust and cost-effective solution, excelling in scalability, on-premises support, and responsive technical support, making it well-suited for enterprises navigating stringent regulatory environment
The most crucial aspect is runtime protection, specifically image scanning before preproduction and deployment. Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment. This feature ensures that customers can identify any potential issues with the image, such as misconfigurations or vulnerabilities, before integrating it into their workloads and infrastructure. In their source pipeline, companies can identify issues before deploying changes. This is crucial because customers prefer resolving any problems or misconfigurations before the deployment process. Software change security, including GSPM Cloud, is a key feature customers seek in their infrastructure.
Usman Bhatti - PeerSpot reviewer
High availability, effective VPM, and responsive support
There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution was very user-friendly."
"The CSPM product is great at securing our cloud accounts and I really like the runtime protection for containers and functions too."
"Aqua Security allowed us to gain visibility into the vulnerabilities that were present in the container images, that were being rolled out, the amount of risk that we were introducing to the platform, and provided us a look into the container environment by introducing access control mechanisms. In addition, when it came to runtime-level policies, we could restrict container access to resources in our environment, such as network-level or other application-level access."
"The most helpful feature of Aqua Security is Drift Prevention, which is a feature that allows images to be immutable. In addition, one of the main reasons we went with Aqua Security is because it provides strong protection when it comes to runtime security."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"Valuable features include the ability to connect it to our Docker Hub where our images are stored, good integration with Slack, and the connection to the CV, to easily see which CVs are on each image."
"From what I understand, the initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and manage."
"It's scalable."
"Patch management is most valuable. The major selling point of Deep Security is that it is based on the cloud. Deep Security is for the servers and databases of data centers, and generally, for patch management, you have to shut down the machines, and then you have to restart them. So, they need shutdown time, which is a cost. Big enterprises don't want to shut down their database or their data center for any kind of patch. Deep Security creates a wall and downloads all patches. You install it on the cloud. So, it saves your server from any kind of intrusion or any kind of penetration, and whenever you get a chance or time, in six, eight, or nine months, you can physically download or install all those patches in one go. So, it saves you time. It also saves your shutdown time and keeps your data center safe."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"The file integrity and log inspection are game-changing features for us."
"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."
"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"Some of the main features of this solution are it is reliable and can be used in small to large size businesses."
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
 

Cons

"It's a bit hard to use the user roles. That was a bit confusing."
"I would like Aqua Security to look into is the development of a web security portal."
"Aqua Security could provide more open documentation so that their learning resources can be more easily accessed and searched through online. Right now, a lot of the documentation is closed and not available to the public."
"They want to release improvements to their product to work with other servers because now there are more focused on the Kubernetes environment. They need to improve the normal servers. I would like to have more options."
"We would like to see an improvement in the overview visibility that this solution offers."
"The solution could improve user-friendliness."
"The integrations on CICD could be improved. If Aqua had more plugins or container images to integrate and automate more easily on CICD, it would be better."
"Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua."
"The solution could use more integration."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It comes at a reasonable cost."
"Aqua Security is not cheap, and it's not very expensive, such as Splunk, they are in the middle."
"The pricing of this solution could be improved."
"They were reasonable with their pricing. They were pretty down-to-earth about the way they pitched their product and the way they tried to close the deal. They were one of the rare companies that approached the whole valuation in a way that made sense for our company, for our needs, and for their own requirements as well... They will accommodate your needs if they are able to understand them and they're stated clearly."
"Dealing with licensing costs isn't my responsibility, but I know that the licenses don't depend on the number of users, but instead are priced according to your workload."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
