The most valuable feature for us is the fact that we can control what the PC or server is doing protection-wise, even remotely.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature for us is mainly the fact that we can control what the PC or server is doing protection-wise, even remotely. We use this protection feature all the time.

How has it helped my organization?

The main benefit it provides us is that it will show what the issues might be and it's scalable. It allows us to know that if we have an issue somewhere on one device or endpoint, we can correct it or get down to a level where we can find out what the problem is. For example, we can apply exclusions to set policies for a certain type of group that can scale for a lot of environments, whether it's Linux or Windows servers or Windows 10 endpoints.

What needs improvement?

I'd like to see some sort of database out-of-the-box. Deep Security uses its own database, with which we have some issues, but we just go right to SQL or another database. Right now, the standard database as to be converted to SQL or Oracle, but that's something that should be out-of-the-box standard.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've used it for four years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We've had no issues with deployment, other than the database issue.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We had one failure, but it came back up within twenty minutes, so we've really had no downtime.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Yes, it's been scalable. In the coming year, we're going to be testing many more policies and deploying it out in our system.

How was the initial setup?

The setup was a little complex on the security side. But the endpoints -- desktops, laptops, were pretty easy. The server environments were a little more complicated and in-depth.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented with a vendor team.

What was our ROI?

We very much have an ROI, and although I don't have numbers, I can see that we've been able to catch problems before they happen.

What other advice do I have?

Make sure you perform thorough testing as there were different situations that came up for us that we didn't account for. I think that a POC would really be worth the investment because you can find out what the structure can do and what it can't. That's really important.

    • "It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."

    What is our primary use case?

    We are primarily using the product for IDS, IPS, and deep security.

    How has it helped my organization?

    It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions.

    What is most valuable?

    • They delivered what they said that they would.
    • The IDS and IPS features.

    What needs improvement?

    Trend Micro is not government certified or federal complaint. If they could become compliant/certified, this would make it easier for us to use it for our government projects.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    Three to five years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I would give the product's stability a high rating. We trust the Trend Micro brand.

    We are experiencing major technical support issues right now, and the technical support has been reasonable about fixing them.

    How was the initial setup?

    The integration and configuration of Trend Micro in our AWS environment was easy. We haven't had any issues with this at all.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past. We have not compared the pricing and licensing of buying it on the AWS Marketplace.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We also considered Pure Storage. In the end, we decided to only pursue Trend Micro because it is easier for us to install and use. The decision to use Trend Micro was based on cost, brand name, and ease of use.

    I would recommend Trend Micro. We are happy with them. In the current world, you have to earn the business because it is like a subscription, and they keep us happy.

    We don't have Trend Micro integrated with any other product except for our internal cloud solution. We just use the AWS version of the product.

    It makes controls available to consultants and security architects in the new, software-defined datacenter and traversing up into the cloud.

    Valuable Features

    Deep Security is a really innovative security solution in the world of software-defined data centers and in the NSX space. It makes controls available to consultants and security architects in the new, software-defined datacenter and traversing up into the cloud. It's optimized to support security for virtual desktop infrastructures.

    Room for Improvement

    It's not a well-recognized solution and there's not much buzz around it in the marketplace. When I speak with an auditor about what Trend Micro is doing to cover my compliance footprint, it's not well-understood. That's where the challenge lies.

    Stability Issues

    There were some initial challenges with it, those in my experience have all been worked out, and it's a very stable solution now. We're working on taking it out, we do a lot of consulting in an NSX space, with software-defined networking, and we're taking Trend Micro out to all of our customers.

    Scalability Issues

    It works in relatively small scenarios, and up to the biggest scenario that I can imagine.

    Customer Service and Technical Support

    Never had an issue with Trend Micro support. It's fantastic.

    Initial Setup

    It's in a complex technological space, typically proposed into NSX or cross-hybrid cloud scenario. There are a lot of moving parts and it's a challenging space to implement technologies and controls, but I think Trend Micro does it well.

    Other Advice

    The important thing that I would encourage people to look at with Deep Security is how it plays with Endpoint, how it plays with your particular software-defined data center or hybrid cloud, and make sure that you understand where the capabilities are available to you. Because for most people it's surprising that Trend Micro can do all the things that it can.

    Good protection with modern predictive machine learning and AI monitoring
    Pros and Cons
    • "There's useful monitoring on offer."
    • "We'd like to have more application control."

    What is our primary use case?

    I primarily use the solution for web security and port encryption. It helps protect endpoints. 

    What is most valuable?

    The solution offers advanced options for endpoint security. There is predictive machine learning and AI monitoring. 

    The endpoint protection is very good at that level. 

    It helps protect us from hackers. We're able to add locks on data to protect everything. 

    There's useful monitoring on offer.

    The logs are quite helpful. 

    It easily increases the performance of the servers. It doesn't take a lot of performance away from the server itself. 

    It is scalable.

    The solution is stable and reliable. 

    What needs improvement?

    We'd like to have more application control. It would help us block things more strategically. 

    Support could be faster. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've used the solution for a while. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    This is a stable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is scalable. You can expand usage as needed. You just need to buy more licenses. 

    We have more than 60 users on the product. 

    How are customer service and support?

    Technical support typically responds within one hour. They are responsive. Of course, we'd always like faster responses when we are facing issues. 

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is installed locally. It can be a bit complicated as we have to do it on-premises and we need to gain console access.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    We can pay for the license on a yearly basis. If you want to do financing, you can go month by month.

    What other advice do I have?

    I'd recommend the solution to other companies. If a company has a critical or high-availability server, this is a good product. It's also great for endpoints. It's great for companies with critical services. 

    I would rate the solution nine out of ten. We've been happy with how it has been working so far.
