Enhanced threat detection through superior sandboxing capabilities with competitive pricing
With Trend Micro Deep Discovery, our enterprise clients can identify forgotten or unmanaged network segments, thereby mitigating unexpected network actions such as outdated antivirus software operations. When under attack, such as with ransomware, it allows us to identify the attack vector and disable it. It also assists in security audits required to prove certain network security measures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using Fortinet FortiNDR as a bundle is cost-effective, providing a complete package of tools."
"The dashboards are very informative compared to other solutions like Cisco, providing valuable insights into network threats."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"The product is very easy to install."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the inclusion of sandboxing in the bundling. Currently, sandbox is not included in our package."
"There is room for improvement in third-party integrations, particularly with other vendors like Check Point and Palo Alto."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
