The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain
Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

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

"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."
"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."
"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"The platform's IP detection feature is particularly effective in identifying connections to our servers."
"We like the Smart protection and the Virtual patching."
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
"Automated virtual patching is a good feature."
"Virtual patching stands out as the best feature Trend Micro Deep Security offers, allowing us to virtually patch servers without downtime, which is critical given our limited patching windows, and helps prevent servers from being exploited."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
 

Cons

"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."
"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"Their automation needs improvement."
"Trend Micro Deep Security can be improved in areas such as policy tuning, which takes time in a complex environment, along with slightly high pricing for smaller deployments, especially for SMBs, and the help documentation on their website can be simplified for new users to easily understand solutions to their issues, as I have observed that they can sometimes feel confused."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support."
"The tool needs to improve its subscription."
"A minor issue in Trend Micro Deep Security is that once the tool is upgraded, it shows some machines as offline or not reported while showing a recent update as outdated. The tool has some server connection issues."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"The problem with this solution is that if you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe the price compares well within the market."
"The product was expensive for us."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"Some of our customers complain about the cost of this solution."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
