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

"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 solution is very good at scanning."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The protection layer and total control features of Trend Micro Deep Security provide comprehensive protection, with multiple security layers including anti-malware, intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring, web reputation, application control, firewall, and log inspection, all accessible through a single lightweight agent and manageable across Windows, Linux, and cloud workloads."
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion."
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides."
"Support in Trend Micro Deep Security is very good. They have very professional engineers, and they often respond effectively. We are satisfied."
"The file integrity and log inspection are game-changing features for us."
 

Cons

"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."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"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."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"There is room for improvement in the way it is deployed, in terms of being able to distribute it. Right now we have to get our hands on a machine to deploy it. It would be nice if there was an easier system."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
"Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used."
"The workloads must be better."
"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."
"The situation with the currency in Turkey makes this solution a little bit on the expensive side, and if it were lowered then it would be more competitive."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"I would like them to separate their products into different categories, rather than putting everything in one box."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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."
"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."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"It is expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"I rate the price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is a high price. It is a very costly tool...There are no additional payments to be made other than the normal price of the tool."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
