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

"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"I like the anti-malware features."
"Trend Micro gave our security teams a certain degree of comfort by just having it in the background, as they have familiarity with the product."
"You can scale the solution to different versions."
"The performance is good."
"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."
"It is well-suited for state government customers who require a complete sense of security."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"The customer service/technical support for this solution is very fast."
 

Cons

"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"​Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"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."
"The cost is very high."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"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."
"It would be better if they merge a few features into one product. For example, they have an encryption feature that is separately sold. If they could merge it with Apex One or any endpoint security solution, maybe it would also be good for the end user."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"The solution's reports should include more details of events like device control, live health status of the server, and inventory management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"​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."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"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."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
"The AWS licensing model is scalable and easy to use, but could do with tiered discounts. I am not sure how well this model will scale when we start to use Auto Scaling with AWS resources."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
"The tool's pricing is high."
