Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"CylancePROTECT is a fairly decent antivirus."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"The solution's features, including real-time monitoring, IPS activity, and firewall alerts, are found to be the most effective in our company"
"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."
"In addition to providing our clients a view of what's happening in their data centers, it also does virtual patching in the data center. It enhances the security in the data center big time."
"The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."
"The most valuable and advanced feature of the solution is the ability to check vulnerabilities."
"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"​Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"Trend Micro Deep Security should provide a bundle solution for the customer similar to what Microsoft provides."
"While it is fundamentally good, the patches are released every month; if it could remain stable for a longer time, it would be helpful instead of requiring monthly patches."
"In the area of policy management and overall administration, Trend Micro Deep Security could improve some settings that require attention."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"Their automation needs improvement."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"The AWS licensing model is scalable and easy to use, but could do with tiered discounts. I am not sure how well this model will scale when we start to use Auto Scaling with AWS resources."
"The solution is offered at an average price point"
