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 endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"The technical support services are good."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"Very user-friendly interface, easy to understand."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"My customers are satisfied with Trend Micro Deep Security since they feel safe and secure."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"It can scale well."
"It's scalable."
 

Cons

"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 stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"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."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"Malwarebytes can improve its network database. Malwarebytes can scan the files and registry. It can scan the system with a light agent. It will not impact the performance of your PC. You can do the full scan and database scan using the EDR, and the RAM and CPU consumption will not increase."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"Trend Micro Deep Security should provide a bundle solution for the customer similar to what Microsoft provides."
"Trend Micro's technical support sometimes takes too long to respond, although they respond quickly at other times."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"Trend Micro's technical support sometimes takes too long to respond, although they respond quickly at other times. Additionally, the product is overpriced, which makes it difficult to sell to many customers."
"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"We do pay-as-you-go pricing, which is good for us. We are working with Trend Micro's sales rep to see if we can have something similar for on-premise."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
