Good VM security, VLP, and threat protection
We use Sophos Virtualization Security for our management team only The most valuable features of the solution are VM security, VLP, and threat protection. Sophos Virtualization Security requires more usage. For example, if you have a virtual service line of 100 nodes, you are unable to deploy…

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 the solution are VM security, VLP, and threat protection."
"When it comes to their firewall, it notified me about a possible infection."
"I like Sophos Virtualization Security's built-in antivirus and malware protection. The firewalls are pretty stable. It's just a matter of updating the virus signatures, and they're pretty good about providing those updates regularly."
"The SVM deployment has very good performance."
"Using this solution allows us to set up rule-based access control."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"​Very straightforward and very easy to implement.​"
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual patching."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
 

Cons

"I would like to see some new features for improving the security part of the solution."
"We are unable to reliably specify bandwidth limits for particular clients, which is something that needs to be improved."
"I wish Sophos could offer the solution at a lower price, but I doubt they will."
"Sophos Virtualization Security requires more usage. For example, if you have a virtual service line of 100 nodes, you are unable to deploy them from the console to a particular environment."
"The solution would be improved if all of the advanced features were included in the SVM."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"Trend Micro is not government certified or federal complaint. If they could become compliant/certified, this would make it easier for us to use it for our government projects."
"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."
"Pricing is on the expensive side and could be more affordable. The technical support for Trend Micro Deep Security also needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"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

"Depending on the subscription, the price ranges from $700 to $1,000. There's a subscription for the antivirus and malware and another that includes web and email. So you might need that extended subscription if you were housing an email firewall. Otherwise, you pay a flat rate for the firewall. It's not based on the number of users."
"For virtualization security, the cost is approximately $50 USD per seat."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"From a pricing perspective, I would say the product is economical...The payments are made on a yearly basis towards the licensing of the solution."
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"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."
"It is expensive but reasonable compared to other products by Trend Micro."
"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."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
