Flag as inappropriateProvides good support and threat prevention
Pros and Cons
- "Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
- "Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
What is our primary use case?
Trend Micro Deep Security protects our organization from threats. Trend Micro has kept us compliant with PCI and PPA.
What is most valuable?
Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable. Trend Micro gets threat intelligence and is always up-to-date with all cybersecurity threats zero-day. Updates are provided through our email. If anything needs to be adjusted on our system, or their product, they will advise us right away.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it. All of our 2,500 employees are covered with Trend Micro Deep Security.
How are customer service and support?
The support from Trend Micro Deep Security is good. The company has a good knowledge base where we can troubleshoot any issues. We also have a support portal with them where we can raise issues that we can't solve on our own. This includes on-call support with them in case the issue needs to be resolved urgently.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Prior to using Trend Micro, we were using Sophos.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of the product was straightforward. All you need to do is install the firmware, ensure the firewall connections are open, and you are done.
What about the implementation team?
It took about one month for us to deploy Trend Micro Deep Security. We had an integrator deploy the pilot of the first 30. After the pilot, our team deployed the rest.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees.
What other advice do I have?
This product is one of the leaders in terms of endpoint protection, server protection, and network protection. They provide good support, and it is easy to deploy. They are scalable, and the threat intelligence is very good. They stay up to date with what is happening in the cyber world.
Personally, I like anti-malware and integrity monitoring. The anti-malware has its own behavioral monitoring and machine learning. It detects all species and objects in the server or the file integrity monitoring. If there are any changes on the server side, they will alert you. I would like to see these tools as part of Trend Micro Deep Security.
I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security a nine out of ten overall.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

IS Analyst at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Improves security with comprehensive visibility and intrusion tracing
Pros and Cons
- "It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion."
- "New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
What is our primary use case?
We are using it for NetSpark, and I work for two organizations where I'm using this tool. In both, we are scaling our networks and endpoints, analyzing our traffic, and analyzing the endpoints and security.
How has it helped my organization?
In one organization where I started, we were using a SIEM solution and facing challenges like a lack of complete information. Deep Security has helped us to know where intrusion started, penetrated, and went within our network, thereby improving security.
What is most valuable?
I appreciate the complete visibility of information, including endpoints and detailed tracing from origin to navigation. It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion.
What needs improvement?
New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection. Improving this area and providing complete visibility would be beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this product for nearly eleven months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability as eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I rate technical support a nine.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used QRadar. Compared to QRadar, Trend Micro improves quickly based on feedback and provides more comprehensive solutions.
How was the initial setup?
In one premises, we deployed it on the cloud, which was challenging at the start, while on another it was set on TensorFlow, which was comparatively easy.
What about the implementation team?
Their team was very helpful during the deployment process. Trend Micro's team was particularly cooperative.
What was our ROI?
It has saved us time, money, and resources. We saved nearly forty percent of our time previously spent on manual investigations.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is very fair, although there are other cheaper options. Due to our limitations, Trend Micro was our best option.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate it an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Offers a super easy setup phase to users
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of the solution are the log inspection and the IPS, which are the most effective compared to other tools."
- "The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher."
What is our primary use case?
I work in a finance-based company, so what we look at would be an anti-malware suite to inspect IPS policies, firewalls, and other such stuff.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution are the log inspection and the IPS, which are the most effective compared to other tools.
Log inspection completely reviews all the logs on the machine rather than me going and investigating. I can take a quick look into the issues with Trend Micro Deep Security.
What needs improvement?
The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for three years. I am a customer of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a six to seven out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have no complaints about the scalability of the product. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
If I speak about the support directly from Trend Micro's team, I rate the technical support as five out of ten.
If I consider the support that I get from Trend Micro's sales engineering team, I would rate the support as a seven or eight. The support team does not reply, and if they do, they provide a response after a week, even if you say that we urgently need their help. The local team in my country, which is the engineering team from the sales side, contacted us and asked whether they could help us in any way with the ticket raised from our end.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was super easy. Trend Micro's team was there to support us when we were setting it up. The sales team and sales engineering team were also helpful.
If ten means very easy setup and one means difficult, I rate the setup phase a seven to eight.
Within business hours, the solution was deployed in two days, considering that there was a need to set up policies and servers.
What other advice do I have?
With Trend Micro's virtual patching in place, the IPS rules are quite effective, so I don't have to patch my systems right away. Trend Micro has been quite aggressive in releasing the IPS rules, which protect our servers from any such incidents.
I wouldn't think that I have seen any reduction in security-related costs since implementing the solution. I have not seen a reduction in the pricing of the security suite, given the fact that the risks have been increasing worldwide or at a global level. We have to put more money to protect ourselves.
I would not blame Trend Micro for not ensuring that users see the cost reductions. Considering the many developments in the general market, the tool has to stay updated.
The compliance management in Trend Micro Deep Security has not very much improved the security audits, especially since we are using the on-prem version. With the on-prem version, you don't get much of the compliance management part. The SaaS version is quite different and we are looking to switch to it.
The fact that Trend Micro Deep Security has integrated everything with Trend Vision One is something that is more than sufficient.
We are using the tool's on-prem version, so I don't think I have seen anything related to AI.
I have not seen anything related to automation in the tool.
The suite is better, so when you are buying a product, make sure that you squeeze everything into one since that is where the real money lies.
I think the major value for my company does not come from Trend Micro Deep Security but from Trend Micro Vision One, XDR Telemetry, and everything else.
If a person has completed the integration, you don't have to look at the different modules of Trend Micro Deep Security, as you can just log into Trend Vision One and do all the XDR analysis.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Excellent deep security solution with low footprint
Pros and Cons
- "The solution has a low footprint and does not have a lot of impact on the host."
- "The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
What is our primary use case?
Our company uses Trend Micro for anti-malware support on servers and user PCs. Its normal anti-virus, file integrity monitoring, and threat prevention modules are also active in our systems.
What is most valuable?
The overall vision and execution of the vendor are really good. The solution has a low footprint and does not have a lot of impact on the host. The reporting mechanism is also good, and at any given point in time, we can see how many endpoints are compliant. The product support is also good.
What needs improvement?
The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module as well.
In future releases, the solution should provide one agent who takes care of EDR, end-point security, DLP, and application control.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for more than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. I would rate its stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. I would rate its scalability a ten out of ten. Currently, the solution is being used by around 4,000 users in our organization.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service and support team is good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward and only a matter of a couple of clicks. Once you have a design in place, deployment is not a challenge. In terms of time– one part goes into solution deployment and the other into solution adaptation. Solution deployment does not take much time; solution adaptation does.
What about the implementation team?
The solution was deployed by consultants. I think one professional from the system integrator or the OEM and one in-house resource are enough for this deployment.
Moreover, it is just like any other IT solution in terms of maintenance. Since it is installed on a server host, whatever general maintenance is required for that host is what’s needed—just general IT maintenance. We have an in-house team of IT and security engineers who take care of the maintenance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Just like in any other IT solution. General IT maintenance, we have an in-house team of IT and security engineers who take care of the maintenance.
What other advice do I have?
Before deploying a solution, new users must refer to market research. For companies like ours, we select top-of-the-line products. Although this is the best product suiting our requirements, the decision should be based on individual evaluation.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Business Development Manager - Security at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios."
What is our primary use case?
We are using Deep Security specifically for virtual patching of the virtual disks. The average customer for this is typically a government agency, and they're employing it on critical servers and services. It is usually on a database server, especially a purpose-built aggregation server. Unlike a web server or something like that, these servers aren't generally publicly connected. We have about 20 Deep Security customers, including most of the bigger banks.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What needs improvement?
I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for the last three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Deep Security is a highly stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Deep Security is scalable.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Deep Security isn't that complicated. The entire process takes 90 days, including a proof of concept to demo the product in the customer's environment and show them what it can do. Typically, it takes about 90 days to close a deal. We have 15 members on our team.
What about the implementation team?
We have different people to handle the implementation. Our technical team gets involved at that point then we finalize the scope and document whatever the customer wants for this solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Deep Security isn't expensive for what it does. Our customers understand what the product is doing, so they are always willing to pay for that. In India, the price isn't an issue with this product actually because the competing Symantec product is much more expensive than Trend Micro. The pricing isn't that cheap, but every customer will ask for a discount regardless of the price you quote.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Trend Micro Deep Security nine out of 10. I recommend Deep Security to all our customers for server security. We sell quite a few security solutions, and we offer two products for server security: Trend Micro and Symantec. Since Symantec isn't really focusing on this area, we are primarily suggesting Trend Micro Deep Security.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

- "Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
What is our primary use case?
I am a manager for a non-profit and use this solution for its antivirus capabilities.
What is most valuable?
Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful.
Since this is a SaaS service, we do not need to worry about getting version upgrades as everything is updated on the backend by Trend Micro.
Since this is a cloud-based product, we do not need any on-premise environment for antivirus.
What needs improvement?
Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for four or five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

How are customer service and support?
Support is very good. There is a portal where you can go to raise support tickets, and there are three phone numbers that we can use to reach support. We also have been assigned a technical account manager to who we can reach out to with anything critical.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used McAfee in the past.
How was the initial setup?
The solution was straightforward to install. There is a default version that is ready to use as soon as it is installed and anything specific that the company desires can then be set.
We have about six to eight people with access to management.
What about the implementation team?
We used a combination of an integrator, a technical account manager, and our in-house team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is a subscription cost to use this product.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this product and would rate it a nine out of ten.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
