Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency
I can only speak to it on a personal level. If someone is considering it, they should test it on their own systems. I can't personally recommend it because each person has their own needs. While it may work for me as a malware antivirus solution, I can't recommend it to someone else who may have a different system or use case. I rate the overall solution 7.5 out of 10. Malwarebytes protects me against malware. If they fix the pricing model so it's not automatically charging me, the rating could improve. Until then, I can't give it an 8.

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 technical support services are good."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"Virtual patching stands out as the best feature Trend Micro Deep Security offers, allowing us to virtually patch servers without downtime, which is critical given our limited patching windows, and helps prevent servers from being exploited."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"Some of the main features of this solution are it is reliable and can be used in small to large size businesses."
"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."
"Trend Micro Deep Security's best features include the IPS module, which stands out because it is not just an AV product but operates as the latest AV or EDR product, provides details, and handles patches related to vulnerabilities."
"I strongly recommend Trend Micro Deep Security to any organization looking for a powerful, scalable, and future-ready server security solution."
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
"It is well-suited for state government customers who require a complete sense of security."
 

Cons

"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"I really hate the automatic rebuilding without even asking. It's just an annoyance that they should at least ask me, like a month before they bill me."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"Trend Micro Deep Security should provide a bundle solution for the customer similar to what Microsoft provides."
"Pricing is on the expensive side and could be more affordable. The technical support for Trend Micro Deep Security also needs improvement."
"The cost is very high."
"A minor issue in Trend Micro Deep Security is that once the tool is upgraded, it shows some machines as offline or not reported while showing a recent update as outdated. The tool has some server connection issues."
"Trend Micro can interact with their consultant to ensure that we receive constant training to understand their platform and how to improve it."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"It is expensive."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"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."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"Most of it is annual at this stage."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"There is a subscription cost to use this product."
