Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"You can manage all the threats and everything from a centralized dashboard."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"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 traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing."
"Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted my organization by being a mature tool and a stable platform, and its virtual patching capability is very strong, with good visibility and reporting features that I find beneficial."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"It serves its purpose and works well."
"For server security purposes, I like the product's firewall."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
 

Cons

"The stability could be improved."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios."
"The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"We are an original partner with AWS, so a couple of customers chose to directly take it from AWS Marketplace. A couple of customers will want us to take care of the billing. So, it's a mixed type of reaction that we receive from the customer."
"There is a subscription cost to use this product."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"Some of our customers complain about the cost of this solution."
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"I rate the price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is a high price. It is a very costly tool...There are no additional payments to be made other than the normal price of the tool."
"From a pricing perspective, I would say the product is economical...The payments are made on a yearly basis towards the licensing of the solution."
