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.
Matthew Weisler - PeerSpot reviewer
Great granularity for policies or applications without needing hash values
The solution is cloud based which makes it easy to use for remote devices or work-at-home situations. The solution supports full trust or signature-based approvals. You can get very granular and band out policies or applications without having to do hash values. You can band through the entire environment by execution of the name or desk IDXE. This can be achieved on the policy side because of the signature, IOC, or naming convention itself. This is very effective for pushing more blockage or removing threats across the board. The solution has a very nice API on the back end for remoting into a system and executing scripts or utilizing self automation. This is useful for monitoring several different companies in a workspace or workbook-type format. For example, I report and send out mass emails from a clickable button in an Excel workbook. The APIs all exist for each client. I push out automatic endpoint monitoring and reports every single day at a particular time, with a simple clickable button that serves as a scheduled task for fifty clients.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Patch management is most valuable. The major selling point of Deep Security is that it is based on the cloud. Deep Security is for the servers and databases of data centers, and generally, for patch management, you have to shut down the machines, and then you have to restart them. So, they need shutdown time, which is a cost. Big enterprises don't want to shut down their database or their data center for any kind of patch. Deep Security creates a wall and downloads all patches. You install it on the cloud. So, it saves your server from any kind of intrusion or any kind of penetration, and whenever you get a chance or time, in six, eight, or nine months, you can physically download or install all those patches in one go. So, it saves you time. It also saves your shutdown time and keeps your data center safe."
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"The platform's IP detection feature is particularly effective in identifying connections to our servers."
"It provides a comprehensive feature set and a strong security baseline for us with integrations into other security tools."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"I found it very valuable as a whole. It is good at detecting anything and has kept us very safe. It is also very easy to use."
"For Carbon Black Endpoint, the possibility of integration with different other software's log servers is the important thing. Having just one point of view is more interesting so you don't need to go to different places to see all the information."
"The solution is stable."
"It significantly speeds up incident response times by alerting analysts immediately upon detecting potential issues."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"The feature I found most valuable in Carbon Black CB Defense is the ongoing monitoring feature that works by emailing updates about any detections found."
 

Cons

"Installation and operations may have issues on some machines owing to their configuration of the network cards as the product is a DPI driver."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"Post-implementation is time-consuming. You have to do monitoring, and that takes time. After you set up everything, it's not a full-fledged implementation. You have to keep on monitoring and configuring."
"The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher."
"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."
"We want to see improved authentication."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
"The solution's reports should include more details of events like device control, live health status of the server, and inventory management."
"There could be more knowledge. I think they made a mistake when they took away the Check Point integration, because it provides more automation and also more threat intelligence."
"There's some disparity between the on-premise and the cloud type of application."
"This product should be cheaper."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."
"Integration is difficult, but CB Defense is more powerful than others. It is difficult to implement but easy to pick up many detections."
"There is room for improvement in the support and service team."
"The product cannot perform an on-demand scan. They could add this particular feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"The pricing is fair."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"The product is expensive. There are some additional costs apart from the standard licensing charges attached to the solution."
"The product is quite reasonable."
"We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"It's reasonable in price"
"The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
