Director at Business Automation Indore Private Limited
Long-term threat visibility has reduced customer incidents and supports steady recurring revenue
The real-time visibility on network traffic provided by Trend Micro Deep Discovery is good, and my customer is satisfied. My customers have indeed utilized the Threat Intelligence Sharing feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery. The impact of the Threat Intelligence Sharing feature on overall defense and security is positive. The benefit that Deep Discovery brings to our organization is that we get fewer calls from customers, allowing me to focus on other businesses, and we receive year-on-year revenue for renewals.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"All in all, the variety of products provided by Trend Micro will give you a huge step up into checking and defending yourself from any threats."
"The performance and stability are great, and we've been able to maximize the bandwidth allocated to us while Trend Micro has been very helpful in guiding us on what we need and where to place all the missing sniffing ports."
"Trend Micro has divided most of the solutions into different sectors, and if you want to go for the end-to-end solution, they are very much in a position to provide that because Trend Micro covers almost everything."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"The environment is imported inside the sandbox and in this way, Trend Micro is the leader in the world's markets of sandbox solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
"It offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"I would recommend this solution because it covers the total scope of Office 365."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"There were a few instances where legitimate traffic (WPAD) was flagged as C2 communication."
"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"Licensing has been a struggle."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Overall, the price is good."
"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"Compared to its competitors, Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a little expensive."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
"Its price is fine, but Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. It is a hardware solution. It is based on the number of nodes, and according to the number of nodes, clients decide which box they should acquire. They have to renew their license every year. It is subscription-based."
"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."
"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
