Karim Mostafa - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

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

"It's a user-friendly solution."
"This product is easy to use."
"Overall, the product is quite flexible."
"It is an effective solution. It provides a wide range of security and defense features."
"One of the main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities."
"There is plenty of features that make the solution work very well."
"Deployment and centralized management are essential for us because of the number of loads that we have along with the number of geographic locations where we are based."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion."
"We use the solution to detect malicious threats, secure the endpoints, and disable the UFT."
"The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
"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."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"The integration options of Trend Micro Deep Security have been particularly valuable."
"Virtual patching is a wonderful feature where we do a recommendation scan and an internal assessment on the server, and it updates the IPS signatures to block any attack. I have seen instances where it has prevented attacks on the end-of-support servers such as 2018 R2, and many years ago, even 2007 servers that were end-of-support. It certainly helped there."
 

Cons

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security could have more visibility and threat hunting. Right now, if it detects a file, it's quarantined, and then we can't find more details other than the path and the file name. We don't see what process it's warning off and how the virus got in. So, the reporting on the quarantined items, why were they quarantined, etc., could be improved."
"The product is expensive."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
"The solution could provide more frequent updates."
"They can improve the zero-day exploit to be more effective."
"We would like to know where attacks are coming from."
"The solution needs to lower its pricing."
"It is expensive, it could be cheaper, so I think the solution's pricing could be better."
"There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features."
"We have had some issues when it drains some of the resources of the server."
"We'd like to have more application control."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"The tool is expensive."
"The price of this solution is affordable and there is only a standard license required."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
"It would be beneficial if the price could be reduced, and improved management of the license allocation for adding additional Endpoint users would be advantageous."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"There is a subscription cost to use this product."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
