Good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options
As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients. According to feedback from my client base, Trend Micro has good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options. It also includes features like an advanced scan engine – those are definitely strong benefits. Additionally, its virtual analysis feature is quite useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."
"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."
"Flowmon is more easy to understand and helps find network issues more quickly."
"Flowmon is more easy to understand and helps find network issues more quickly."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"The solution has extension-based features that help it to analyze the environment. The environment can have different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool will give a report which can confirm the analysis of the issues. You can also get clear information on threats or suspicious files."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."
"I do not know the detailed pricing."
"The licensing price could be better."
"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"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 stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"The price range is a little high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It works with a permanent license, and then you can pay for the support. For the gold support, you need to pay yearly."
"The licensing fee accrues only once, but that of support is annual."
"The price of the solution could be better."
"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."
"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
"The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"Overall, the price is good."
"Its price is fine, but Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. It is a hardware solution. It is based on the number of nodes, and according to the number of nodes, clients decide which box they should acquire. They have to renew their license every year. It is subscription-based."
