Trend Micro Deep Security Pros review quotes

The solution's features, including real-time monitoring, IPS activity, and firewall alerts, are found to be the most effective in our company

Virtual patching is a wonderful feature where we do a recommendation scan and an internal assessment on the server, and it updates the IPS signatures to block any attack. I have seen instances where it has prevented attacks on the end-of-support servers such as 2018 R2, and many years ago, even 2007 servers that were end-of-support. It certainly helped there.

In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall.

For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done.

DLP, Data Loss Prevention, and the complexity of how we manage the console and how this client, or this tool, will notify us when there is something going wrong within the server and endpoint, is good.

Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers.
Anil Chauhan - PeerSpot reviewer

The most valuable features of the solution are the log inspection and the IPS, which are the most effective compared to other tools.

I've not worked with CrowdStrike Falcon, but one of our customers also had CrowdStrike Falcon on some of the devices. I was only supporting Trend Micro. They had a ransomware attack, but Trend Micro didn't detect that particular ransomware attack, whereas CrowdStrike did.

As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them.

It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities.

We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs.

It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products. This should be in the road map because we have a lot of SaaS-based appliances which are not connected with each other.

The risk is very complex. We need our tools to be more intelligent, more automated, more detectable.

I would like them to separate their products into different categories, rather than putting everything in one box.

The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher.
