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 most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"It is a stable solution."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"There is a degree of set it and forget it in regards to the actual endpoints and what you can do with the console, which is nice."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"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."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"Trend Micro provides the best support."
"Automated virtual patching is a good feature."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
 

Cons

"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"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."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"I would like to see a little more detail in the log. So, when an event occurs, I'd like to know not just when it happened and on what device, but what activity was taking place on the machine at the time so that we can drill down. If we get a false positive, we have to do a lot of research and go back and forth with our end-users to know why it was a false positive. So, having a little more detail around detections and events would probably be my most asked feature."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"Trend Micro Deep Security should provide a bundle solution for the customer similar to what Microsoft provides."
"Trend Micro Deep Security needs improvement in the anti-malware exclusion policy since adding exclusions is a complicated process."
"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."
"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
"The solution's reports should include more details of events like device control, live health status of the server, and inventory management."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"The tool needs to improve its subscription."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"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 price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"It is expensive."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"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."
