It is mainly an antivirus product for both desktops as well as servers. It has additional modules which can be enabled in fast manner. It uses the same agent and additional modules like FIM, Filing Integrity Management and ELP services.
What is most valuable?
The product is easy to implement and easy to integrate with additional advanced services.
It's scalable.
It has been mostly quite stable.
Technical support in Europe is good.
What needs improvement?
They are working to improve the solution. For example, nowadays, they're offering cloud based EDR which addresses a lot of this scalability challenges like storage requirements, et cetera. We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions.
They recently put out some more additions which I have yet to explore. They've already addressed a lot of previous concerns.
We'd like the cloud model to have better pricing.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for more than four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable. That said, there are certain agent problems. Once in a while we see certain agents get corrupted, so we clean up the agent and we need to install the agents again. However, that is rare.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable within some limitations of compromise. For example, since its an on-premise, there will be servers limitations. If you need to scale to large areas, then you need additional hosting solutions to extend the capacity. Otherwise, it's a good tool for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
Within Europe the technical support services are very good. I have not worked in other regions, however, within Europe the support was fantastic. They respond very fast.
How was the initial setup?
We deployed the solution to about 3,000 servers. We had is implemented in lesss than three months.

Technologist (IoT & Automation), IT & Digital at Tata Metaliks Limited
A stable solution that prevents ransomware attacks and other unauthorized access attempts
Pros and Cons
- "It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
- "It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
What is our primary use case?
In our company, all critical systems are connected to a Security Operation Center (SOC), and we use Trend Micro Deep Security on these servers. Our company is in the manufacturing industry, dealing with metals and mining processes, and many of our solutions are hosted on public IP and accessed from outside organizations' networks. Installing Trend Micro Deep Security helps us prevent ransomware attacks and other unauthorized access attempts. Since we are connected to SOC, we receive detailed information on any attempts to penetrate our systems from outside, apart from just letting us know if there are any vulnerabilities or not. Additionally, Trend Micro Deep Security provides features like sandboxing. However, we have not been able to utilize these features fully.
Since I wanted to know the additional features that Trend Micro Deep Security offers beyond what we currently use in our solution, I was trying to find a comparison between Trend Micro Deep Security and Trend Micro Apex One.
What is most valuable?
Virtualization and sandboxing are the two features available in the solution. I learned about these two features from our service provider, through whom we secured the license required for the solution. So, our service provider is a reseller and not directly related to Trend Micro. Also, I am yet to go through the technical documents of the solution since I couldn't find much information about the solution online.
Regarding the deployment process, we first conducted a study to identify potential vulnerabilities and cybersecurity requirements for the business. Once we clearly understood these objectives, we began exploring solutions that could meet them. We then evaluated options such as a Security Operations Center (SOC) and Trend Micro Deep Security as part of this process.
What needs improvement?
I haven't received any distribution emails from the Trend Micro team regarding recent vulnerabilities and their efforts to mitigate them. It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities. This is an area that could be improved from more of a marketing perspective than a technical aspect.
For how long have I used the solution?
In our company, we have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for at least two years now. Presently, we are using the latest version. So, we keep updating the solution. We provide the solution to the servers on a public IP.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. Considering the different price ranges available, one needs to buy a device. It needs device-based licensing. For instance, if 50 more devices in our organization require Trend Micro Deep Security, then I have to purchase 50 more licenses. So, scalability is not a challenge in the solution. Also, we have around 100 people in our organization using the solution.
The solution is being used very extensively in our organization. In the company where I work, we have only a single solution for all of our servers. That single solution is Trend Micro Deep Security. Also, we have been using Trend Micro Apex One for the past two or three years.
How are customer service and support?
I need to check with my team to know whether we ever interacted with the solution's technical support team.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup was straightforward. It's not kind of a cumbersome one.
The deployment process did not take more than two months post-order placement for the solution. So, Trend Micro Deep Security and SOC are two separate parts. For SOC's deployment, we took around six to nine months. Trend Micro Deep Security is a type of endpoint security solution which, post procurement, takes around four to six weeks to configure.
Regarding the solution's deployment model, the managing, monitoring and diagnostics part of the solution is on the cloud, while all of our clients have chosen an on-premises deployment model. Basically, the clients are installed on physical devices.
Previously we had support for a deployment and maintenance procedure from the service provider. Currently, the solution is managed by our team as it is deployed on-premises.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual. Our company has chosen perpetual pricing. So for us, multiple reassignments are possible. If I choose one license and assign it to one device, I can later remove it from that device and assign it to a different one. Given the requirements that our company has, the solution is not too expensive.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
According to our process, our organization usually explores three solutions by making a detailed technical comparison. After that, based on the business requirements, pricing and technical ratings that our experts provide, we go ahead with one of them. I do not know which two solutions were compared with Trend Micro Deep Security.
What other advice do I have?
Currently, my organization relies on Trend Micro Deep Security to meet its business needs in the cybersecurity space. It is important to stay vigilant and explore all possible cybersecurity interventions. Despite having access to many of the solution's features, my organization has not yet deployed them all. As our organization and its systems and solutions continue to grow, in our organization, we want to enable all of the solution's potential, which can provide us with security. Therefore, I was seeking to compare the additional features available within the solution to identify any that could provide significant security benefits to my organization.
I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it. Overall, I rate the solution between eight to nine out of ten.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
Security Solution Architect at Safeway
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Pros and Cons
- "The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
- "The email relays and proxies could be improved."
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution to provide general security for my enterprise clients, primarily for servers. Deployments include cloud and on-prem.
How has it helped my organization?
I've been deploying Trend Micro for my clients for a long time, which has been a significant factor in our security posture.
What is most valuable?
The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
The email relays and proxies could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for around 16 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is very good. In my experience, everyone is in the same boat because every product has faults or challenges.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is scalable; I rate it eight out of ten for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The deployment is straightforward; I rate it nine out of ten for ease of setup. The time the solution takes to set up depends upon the deployment's scale and complexity, as well as the use case.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the solution nine out of ten; it's in the top three or top five products of its type.
My advice to others considering the solution is that two major considerations when looking for a product are stability and vendor company experience. Trend has been around for ages and has a good reputation; this and the stability work in their favor.

Improves security with comprehensive visibility and intrusion tracing
Pros and Cons
- "It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion."
- "New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
What is our primary use case?
We are using it for NetSpark, and I work for two organizations where I'm using this tool. In both, we are scaling our networks and endpoints, analyzing our traffic, and analyzing the endpoints and security.
How has it helped my organization?
In one organization where I started, we were using a SIEM solution and facing challenges like a lack of complete information. Deep Security has helped us to know where intrusion started, penetrated, and went within our network, thereby improving security.
What is most valuable?
I appreciate the complete visibility of information, including endpoints and detailed tracing from origin to navigation. It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion.
What needs improvement?
New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection. Improving this area and providing complete visibility would be beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this product for nearly eleven months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability as eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I rate technical support a nine.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used QRadar. Compared to QRadar, Trend Micro improves quickly based on feedback and provides more comprehensive solutions.
How was the initial setup?
In one premises, we deployed it on the cloud, which was challenging at the start, while on another it was set on TensorFlow, which was comparatively easy.
What about the implementation team?
Their team was very helpful during the deployment process. Trend Micro's team was particularly cooperative.
What was our ROI?
It has saved us time, money, and resources. We saved nearly forty percent of our time previously spent on manual investigations.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is very fair, although there are other cheaper options. Due to our limitations, Trend Micro was our best option.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate it an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Offers a super easy setup phase to users
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of the solution are the log inspection and the IPS, which are the most effective compared to other tools."
- "The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher."
What is our primary use case?
I work in a finance-based company, so what we look at would be an anti-malware suite to inspect IPS policies, firewalls, and other such stuff.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution are the log inspection and the IPS, which are the most effective compared to other tools.
Log inspection completely reviews all the logs on the machine rather than me going and investigating. I can take a quick look into the issues with Trend Micro Deep Security.
What needs improvement?
The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for three years. I am a customer of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a six to seven out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have no complaints about the scalability of the product. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
If I speak about the support directly from Trend Micro's team, I rate the technical support as five out of ten.
If I consider the support that I get from Trend Micro's sales engineering team, I would rate the support as a seven or eight. The support team does not reply, and if they do, they provide a response after a week, even if you say that we urgently need their help. The local team in my country, which is the engineering team from the sales side, contacted us and asked whether they could help us in any way with the ticket raised from our end.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was super easy. Trend Micro's team was there to support us when we were setting it up. The sales team and sales engineering team were also helpful.
If ten means very easy setup and one means difficult, I rate the setup phase a seven to eight.
Within business hours, the solution was deployed in two days, considering that there was a need to set up policies and servers.
What other advice do I have?
With Trend Micro's virtual patching in place, the IPS rules are quite effective, so I don't have to patch my systems right away. Trend Micro has been quite aggressive in releasing the IPS rules, which protect our servers from any such incidents.
I wouldn't think that I have seen any reduction in security-related costs since implementing the solution. I have not seen a reduction in the pricing of the security suite, given the fact that the risks have been increasing worldwide or at a global level. We have to put more money to protect ourselves.
I would not blame Trend Micro for not ensuring that users see the cost reductions. Considering the many developments in the general market, the tool has to stay updated.
The compliance management in Trend Micro Deep Security has not very much improved the security audits, especially since we are using the on-prem version. With the on-prem version, you don't get much of the compliance management part. The SaaS version is quite different and we are looking to switch to it.
The fact that Trend Micro Deep Security has integrated everything with Trend Vision One is something that is more than sufficient.
We are using the tool's on-prem version, so I don't think I have seen anything related to AI.
I have not seen anything related to automation in the tool.
The suite is better, so when you are buying a product, make sure that you squeeze everything into one since that is where the real money lies.
I think the major value for my company does not come from Trend Micro Deep Security but from Trend Micro Vision One, XDR Telemetry, and everything else.
If a person has completed the integration, you don't have to look at the different modules of Trend Micro Deep Security, as you can just log into Trend Vision One and do all the XDR analysis.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
