AhmedEl-Tayeb - PeerSpot reviewer
Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.
Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is fairly reliable."
"Dynamic Application Containment."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"The performance is good."
"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"It has improved my organization because it helps with visibility, in terms of security. We can see the actual attack and can contain it. The antivirus can detect that."
"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."
"In addition to providing our clients a view of what's happening in their data centers, it also does virtual patching in the data center. It enhances the security in the data center big time."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion."
"For server security purposes, I like the product's firewall."
"It's scalable."
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"This product offers good protection against many types of malware."
 

Cons

"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
"The solution consumes a lot of end user memory and CPU. Trellix doesn't really focus much on the anti-malware side."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"Signatures to protect against new attacks."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"We would like to see all the features available on cloud."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"The product isn't very user-friendly."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"They are still working on the company integration from TippingPoint because this was a recent acquisition from a few years ago. So, a Tipping Point integration with Deep Security, having one single pane of glass dashboard, would provide us a simple use case."
"Our company faced issues syncing the active directory accounts"
"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."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."

"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"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."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."

"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
