What is most valuable?
How has it helped my organization?
Centralizing rules is practical and greatly accelerates the administration.
What needs improvement?
They should improve the interface of the main dashboard. It is difficult to find where templates define policies. Also, if you are not careful, your policy implementation can lead to management problems. It should have warnings before applying policies. They also need to improve its dashboard to help monitor the rules that are incorrect or are duplicated.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
The product should have a strategy for installation. Prior to installation, the vendor should advise on a logical design of installation depending on the customer’s needs. In my case, it was not successful and produced serious inconveniences in our virtual infrastructure.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There were some stability issues in the virtual infrastructure due to issues with the deployment.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have had no issues scaling it for our needs.
How are customer service and support?
The level of technical support is just regular. They failed to advise how to carry out the setup and this caused serious drawbacks with interoperability between virtual machines. The consultant was not certified enough for installation to the point that after the installation, we lost money fixing the issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I was the one who installed the solution, as well as charged with maintaining it. Also, I'm the ESL tester who creates policies and installs them.
How was the initial setup?
It is complex to install. As I said, we were not well-guided, we did not get certified support, and we weren't trained according to best practices.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did not evaluate anything else.
What other advice do I have?
Prior evaluations of possible scenarios have resulted in determining problem areas as well as good practices. Also, it should be clear the level of integration with VMware and its different versions. My advice would be to have the most updated versions of ESXi, vCenter, vShield, etc. It's fundamental to have a network or network segment for the administration and management of all infrastructure.

Sr.Customer Engineer- Projects at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Easy to deploy with the traceback feature that lets you trace back an attack
Pros and Cons
- "The traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing."
- "There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
What is our primary use case?
I used it in my previous company, and it was basically used for security levels. My company was into the implementation of projects, and we used to implement security solutions. Along with Trend Micro, we used to implement these devices. We had several customers of this solution.

For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for the past three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable in a way, but you get false-positive malware notifications.
How are customer service and technical support?
Their support can be improved. For our case related to the virtual analyzer or CMC error, they couldn't trace back the issue. We were frequently getting notifications on that server, which were false-positive. They couldn't say why this is happening, and what is making this client trigger these errors. They couldn't advise on that. They should be more knowledgeable.
How was the initial setup?
Its initial setup is straightforward. Deployment duration depends on the environment. Sometimes, we needed to deploy two or three devices, and we had to consult Trend Micro. Their best practices are also there.
What about the implementation team?
We had a technical team of four engineers, including me.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution, but it has scope for improvement.
I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security an eight out of ten.
