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

"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that I can use it wherever I want, be it at the office, at home, or even outside."
"I strongly recommend Trend Micro Deep Security to any organization looking for a powerful, scalable, and future-ready server security solution."
"It is well-suited for state government customers who require a complete sense of security."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual patching."
"We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist."
"There are compliance issues for legacy applications and after applying OS security patches. The product's HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System) modules do the job for you automatically, without any downtime."
"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 solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
 

Cons

"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster."
"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."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"Customer support is sometimes delayed, but my overall experience with it is good."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"The product isn't very user-friendly."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The solution's reports should include more details of events like device control, live health status of the server, and inventory management."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"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."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"CrowdStrike had an advantage over Trend Micro when it came to pricing. Trend Micro had several modules, so it was a little priced up, but CrowdStrike was not. However, even CrowdStrike has increased their price now, so probably both of them are on par, but the number of modules that Trend Micro has is far more than CrowdStrike. It comes with file integrity monitoring, application control, and web reputation. It has outbound URL protection, and it also has ransomware protection for servers, whereas CrowdStrike Falcon is a straightforward solution."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"The pricing is okay. Deep Security is single-server license-based, so it will work based on how many licenses you have procured. There is a yearly subscription for each license."
