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 a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution's features, including real-time monitoring, IPS activity, and firewall alerts, are found to be the most effective in our company"
"The most valuable features are web security, email filtering, and content filtering."
"We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the log inspection and the IPS, which are the most effective compared to other tools."
"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"The solution provides ease of use, especially from non-technical testing. It's one of the best things. The deployment process is one of the easiest things because we didn't train our on-site consultant. The constant training from Trend Micro's side is that they develop internal causes to understand the upgrade because once they upgrade the platform, they also upgrade the technical person's skills."
"Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing risk and response times while being cost-effective and saving on operational efficiency, compliance, audit readiness, scalability, and business agility, supporting both on-premise and container workloads."
 

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."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"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."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"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 could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"The cost is very high."
"We want to see improved authentication."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"Trend Micro Deep Security can be improved in areas such as policy tuning, which takes time in a complex environment, along with slightly high pricing for smaller deployments, especially for SMBs, and the help documentation on their website can be simplified for new users to easily understand solutions to their issues, as I have observed that they can sometimes feel confused."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"Trend Micro Deep Security should provide a bundle solution for the customer similar to what Microsoft provides."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is expensive."
"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 solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"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 training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
