Trend Micro Deep Security Reviews

I am a manager for a non-profit and use this solution for its antivirus capabilities.

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.

Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust.

I have been using the solution for four or five years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

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.

We used McAfee in the past.

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.

We used a combination of an integrator, a technical account manager, and our in-house team.

There is a subscription cost to use this product.

I would recommend this product and would rate it a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for security purposes. 

We couldn't find any aspect that was valuable. That's why we want to drop the usage of Trend Micro Deep Security. The team cannot see the benefits.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

It is scalable. 

It is stable. 

We couldn't make the necessary modifications to the solution. We want to see improved authentication. We want to improve the interaction, and we want to get more notifications from the security service.

We've been working with the solution for three years. 

The solution has been stable and is working. We don't have any issues with the tool. 

We have not had any issues with scalability. The solution can expand as needed. 

We are using it on our more than 50 virtual servers. 

I cannot recall dealing with technical support. 

We want to replace the solution with Sentinel One and are moving in that direction now. 

We are also using other Trend Micro products, such as email security. 

The product offers a simple, straightforward setup. I'm not sure how long the deployment itself took. It was implemented three years ago, and I do not recall the exact strategy we used during implementation. 

I'm not sure how many people were involved in the initial deployment. 

We bought and paid for the solution three years ago, and in six months, we will have to renew and pay again. Instead of doing that, we are looking for a new solution, likely Sentinel One. 

My team plans to drop the usage of Trend Micro.

I'd rate the solution five out of ten. 

It is for managing application whitelisting, and intrusion detection and prevention for the CLOUD Act.

• It is flexible.
• The configuration is quite easy.

The initial setup needs improvement. Once it is set up, the configuration is relatively simple. However, the initial setup was a bit of a challenge.

We haven't had any issues with stability. It has been rock solid for us.

In the past year, it is still a fairly lightweight environment, so there has not been a lot of stress.

Size of our particular environment is about 200 systems. The scalability has worked very well for us.

We used the technical support for setting up profiles. Working with them was pretty good, they are extremely responsive and helpful.

The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all.

We haven't really seen ROI so far. Since it is a light traffic environment right now, the product hasn't had that many incidents to deal with yet.

Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud.

I was not at the company when they evaluated the other products. I do know that they evaluated Symantec.

Trend Micro was selected because it has better whitelisting of applications, its intrusion detection was far superior, and it has configurability.

The best approach is to start off with a node where it is sort of monitoring and looking at stuff, then work your way into the actual prevention and blocking. Because it can turn off a bunch of services without too much effort which can be good, but it can also shut things down.

We haven't really gone into the integration aspect yet.

We use Trend Micro Deep Security as a Service on AWS through Marketplace and Trend Micro Deep Security on-prem to meet our virtualization security & compliance requirements.

Besides increasing more visibility into data insight, I strongly believe we have not only reduced potential risks while gaining significant performance but also our investment costs was rightly justified.

The file integrity and log inspection are game-changing features for us. Provides deep data insights while meeting compliance requirements.

I'm currently evaluating TippingPoint. Trend Micro is still working on building tight integration with TippingPoint being 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.

well, we have had no hiccups. It's an awesome product.

It's as scaled as it can get.

The technical support is very helpful and geographically dispersed.

We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency.

With AWS, we get single, consolidated billing. This is the beauty of it; its ease of use.

Purchasing on AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime.

We do pay-as-you-go pricing, which is good for us. We are working with Trend Micro to see if we can have something similar for on-premise.

After our move to virtualization was complete and its security woes were becoming evident, we began our search for a new security solution that could protect both its physical and virtual environments. After a three-month proof of concept with solutions from Gartner and Forrester’s top five security vendors, we selected Trend Micro Deep Security. “We wanted a solution that provided seamless integration with VMware vCenter management software and true agentless deployment. Deep Security for VMware was the only solution that really worked.

We started with it on-premise, and now we also have it on the cloud to protect our cloud workloads. The cloud has all the features and functionality turned on by default, which makes it very easy and simple to use. This hosted solution means there's no set up or configuration and they handle all the product and kernel updates for us.

Basically, we are using the solution for protecting our server.

The product is very simple to use. It is more simple than Kaspersky, for example

The solution is easy to set up.

We've found stability to be great so far.

The solution can scale. 

I am not sure about what could be improved. I don't look at the solution from this angle. Some other person from our team is managing that at the moment.

The solution could use more integration. I've heard that if we are going to deploy the XDR of some other solution, it'll not be integrated. It would be helpful if everything could come together. 

We've used the solution for the last three months. We've only recently deployed it. 

The stability has been good. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

It is a scalable solution. We've had no issues with scaling. 

We have deployed this for our server infrastructure only. We have around 7,200 machines which we are protecting through Trend Micro.

At this time, we do not have plans to increase usage. 

We have some local companies here that provide support for Trend Micro. So far the experience is good with this.

Positive

We also have familiarity with Kaspersky.

The initial setup process is very simple. 

The deployment took one to two days. Within one day it was mostly deployed.

The licensing is user-based. 

We are in process of evaluating the XDR solution. We might go with Vision One. I'm not sure about what has been finalized. 

I am not sure about the version we are using. Another team member is managing this.

We are service providers for our customers. We are using Trend Micro Deep Security as an anti-malware and as an complete endpoint protection solution for server. The primary use case is data center security.

Our cloud hosting proposal has grown up with Trend Micro endpoint products fron officescan on to Deep Security. We propose it also on premise for our customers.  The antimalware engine is really effective.

This product has many features and it works with every operating system and any kind of endpoint. It's widespread.

Monitoring is good, and they also can protect DevOps/Docker enviroment.

It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and mow Google Cloud Platform.

One problem with this kind of  products is scaling. If you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the overall solution cost.

The solution offers many features aside from antimalware, lile Host FE and IDS/IPS, File integrity monitoring and so on, but if you use it to protect deliering agents on hosts you'd better verify the amount of host resources (ram)  utilized by DS agent itself.   

We have been working with this solution for more than five years. We also delivered Deep Discovery suite products ad advanced ATP solution.

At one time we had some issues, but not anymore. It's quite a stable solution.

It's on of the best scalable antimalware solution as the amount of protected endpoints grows.

We have support here in Italy and we contact them directly. We have a good relationship with our local support.

Overall, we are quite satisfied with technical support.

The initial setup is complex.

The time for deployment depends on the size. You have different installations for different sizes.

we integrated it with vendor engineering assistance. The level of their assistance team is high,  they have skilled and expert people

It's more expensive than other endpoint protection solution. It's not the cheapest.

for our customers i also evaluated: Symantec, Kaspersky, Sophos. Bitdefender

I would recommend Trend Micro Deep Security. 

If you need a versatile solution that covers many different needs or requirements, Trend Micro Deep Security is very good. It's a broad-spectrum product.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The most valuable feature we have found is threat detection.

We have had some issues when it drains some of the resources of the server. When that happens it slows down some of the processes and causes the CPU to run a little harder.

We have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for the past six months.

The stability is good for our purposes.

Trend Micro Deep Security is scalable.

We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist.

Positive

It can be complex to implement depending on what features you enable because Deep Security is such a comprehensive product. However, if we just enabled everything out of the box, then it's quite easy. Your choice of how many layers of security you want makes a difference.

The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month. 

I know that there is another product that we use that's a competitor. It has a team of specialists that monitor the logs. If you've got the product installed on a server, they monitor it live. That's very useful because it adds another dynamic.

Learn as much as you can about the product because it is very comprehensive. Read the documentation before you install it and learn about the system first. I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security a nine out of ten.

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. 

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. 

We have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for the last three years.

Deep Security is a highly stable product.

Deep Security is scalable. 

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.

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.

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.

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.
