Trend Micro Deep Security Reviews

We use Trend Micro Deep Security to monitor the environment in case of zero-day attacks.

The product's most valuable feature is the threat prevention module. It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching.

They should include WAF modules in the product. There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features.

We have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for a year.

It is a highly stable product. I rate its stability a ten out of ten.

I rate Trend Micro Deep Security's scalability a ten out of ten. We use it 24/7.

The implementation is straightforward. I rate the process a nine out of ten. We require a team of five executives for troubleshooting.

Trend Micro Deep Security has robust virtual patching features. I rate it a ten out of ten.

We use Trend Micro Deep Security as a tool for its antivirus and antimalware capabilities to protect our systems.

Trend Micro Deep Security should provide better options. In the case of detection, we are not very happy with the functioning of the antivirus capabilities that Trend Micro Deep Security provides us. It doesn't have a passive way by which we can enable Microsoft Defender, considering most of the other antiviruses allow Microsoft Defender to work passively.

We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs. We are looking for an alternate solution.

The tool lacks proper detection capabilities. Trend Micro Deep Security should know how to work along with Microsoft Defender in a passive mode. These two are major improvements.

On the cloud version, Trend Micro Deep Security Scanner has to improve on the signature part of analyzing the latest threat.

I have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for two years as a customer.

If it doesn't do its function, there's no question of security or stability since everything is lost.

Detection is the most important thing, and if it doesn't get it, then there is no point talking about stability. There is nothing called stability in an antivirus tool.

They have different flavors, I guess. So based on the flavors, I think they give a number of assets that you can deploy onto the machines that you have. I have not used Trend Micro Apex One, so I cannot compare it with Trend Micro Deep Security.

We are an enterprise-sized business, and the solution is deployed on the main server. It's an enterprise server that we have, and it has been deployed onto that particular server.

Trend Micro's support team provides the required information, but largely, they reach out to us with respect to their knowledge-based articles. With respect to the fundamental design and deployment of the tool, we doubt that we will be able to get access to help from the product's support team. A quick escalation to the top support personnel, which helps with support, is unavailable.

Before choosing Trend Micro Deep Security as a solution, I was working with the solution from a company named Quick Heal. I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques. We thought the word in the product, which is deep security meant it was providing its users with a very deep level of security, but we later came to know it is too shallow in reality.

Installation is not an issue. They offer good support for installation. It is the run time of the program that is very critical for us. During run time, when there is an attack, the program should be able to identify it. If the program does not have a proper system to identify the attack, it will destabilize our entire security platform.

The solution is deployed on a private cloud in our organization. We have our own cloud partner. We don't use Azure or Google.

It does not take much time to deploy the solution. All the time taken for deployment and support comes under one particular point. The primary question is if a tool can neutralize the attacks. The function of an antivirus or security product is to make sure it neutralizes its situation or at least identifies the situation. If a tool does not neutralize attacks, it's a major drawback or unsuitable for an enterprise-grade business.

You can just run a script and deploy it in NAS. The deployment process is not an issue.

One engineer is fine to deploy it if he understands the script. He can deploy it using automation on all the systems, be it 1,000 or 20,000 systems.

Trend Micro Deep Security does not require maintenance. The tool has an auto-run feature, so all updates are automatic and we do not need to maintain it.

The pricing of the product is fine. Pricing doesn't matter when you are talking about a solution meant for enterprise-sized businesses since what matters is the real security and the kind of detection a product offers. At the enterprise level, we are ready to deal with the product in terms of pricing, but we should barely need to work hard on the product later on. From a pricing perspective, I would say the product is economical.

The payments are made on a yearly basis towards the licensing of the solution.

There are no extra costs involved since there will be an agent that is deployed on your server, and the agent will take care of all the activities.

I would not recommend the solution at this point in time, especially for critical infrastructure.

Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.

We use the solution to detect malicious threats, secure the endpoints, and disable the UFT.

The tool needs to improve its subscription. 

I am working with the tool for twelve years. 

The product is stable. 

The product is scalable. 

The tech support is good. 

Positive

The tool's setup is easy. The tool doesn't take more than five to eight minutes on average to deploy at an endpoint. 

The tool's pricing is high. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The solution is suitable for enterprises. Cost is a challenge factor for small organizations. 

We use the solution for server security. 

The tool provides information on server activities and hosts. 

The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support. 

I have been working with the tool for a year. 

I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. 

I would rate the tool's scalability an eight out of ten. My company has around 40 users for the solution. 

You need to wait to get through the support. The product's support is mostly by mail and not through calls. The support team would only agree to call if the issue is immediate.

Negative

I have used SAP product before. SAP solution is much better in terms of services. 

The tool's deployment is straightforward. 

The tool's pricing is quite high. 

I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

Our main use case of this product is for antivirus and virtual patching.

From a security perspective, signatures and that kind of thing are frequently updated and we have not come across any virus detection.

It would help if they would reduce the price. 

I've been using this solution for four years. 

Scalability is good. We currently have 8,000 users and are planning to increase in the future. 

The technical support is fine. 

The most valuable feature we have found is threat detection.

We have had some issues when it drains some of the resources of the server. When that happens it slows down some of the processes and causes the CPU to run a little harder.

We have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for the past six months.

The stability is good for our purposes.

Trend Micro Deep Security is scalable.

We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist.

Positive

It can be complex to implement depending on what features you enable because Deep Security is such a comprehensive product. However, if we just enabled everything out of the box, then it's quite easy. Your choice of how many layers of security you want makes a difference.

The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month. 

I know that there is another product that we use that's a competitor. It has a team of specialists that monitor the logs. If you've got the product installed on a server, they monitor it live. That's very useful because it adds another dynamic.

Learn as much as you can about the product because it is very comprehensive. Read the documentation before you install it and learn about the system first. I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security a nine out of ten.

Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection.

Deep Security's biggest shortcoming is its reporting.

I've been using Deep Security for about two or three years.

Deep Security is pretty solid. 

Deployment took a week or two because we didn't know what we were doing. But once we got it up, it's not like I had to install it multiple times. But if I did, it wouldn't be that bad. Deep Security is pretty low maintenance. It patches itself then downloads all the new buyer signatures, the common vulnerabilities, and everything like that. So it pretty much takes care of itself. However, when we're patching everything else, it could knock one of the agents offline. So we have to deal with that aspect a little bit.

I'm not sure about the exact price, but it's reasonable and competitive. Compared to its competitors, you get a lot of bang for your buck. This was the way to go. There aren't any hidden costs. Everything was straight-up. However, it has a built-in malware detector that sends you alerts, but you need someone to monitor and respond to that. You need an incident response team, and Trend Micro Has a service for that called XDR. So if you want that monitoring service, you have to pay extra.

I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security nine out of 10. It met all our requirements, and Trend Micro provided us with a lot of help getting it set up. I would almost give it a 10, to be honest, but there is some room for improvement with the reporting. For someone implementing Deep Security, I would advise them to pay attention to their kernel numbers. But then again, if we were using Red Hat Linux, Deep Security would be so seamless. Sometimes the kernel versions get out of sync, but as long as you stick to the standards, it's seamless. Once you deviate, the mileage may vary.

Patch management is most valuable. The major selling point of Deep Security is that it is based on the cloud. Deep Security is for the servers and databases of data centers, and generally, for patch management, you have to shut down the machines, and then you have to restart them. So, they need shutdown time, which is a cost. Big enterprises don't want to shut down their database or their data center for any kind of patch. Deep Security creates a wall and downloads all patches. You install it on the cloud. So, it saves your server from any kind of intrusion or any kind of penetration, and whenever you get a chance or time, in six, eight, or nine months, you can physically download or install all those patches in one go. So, it saves you time. It also saves your shutdown time and keeps your data center safe.

Along with patching, they also provide antivirus protection on the servers.

It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR.

Its price is also quite high. It is more expensive than other products for patching. So, it would be nice if they lower its price.

We have been providing this solution for about two to three years.

It is very stable. That's why it is doing so well. They have already captured 90% of the financial market in our country.

I won't say that it is scalable. It is the final product, but it has a few add-ons. You can add other products of Trend Micro, for example, XDR or EDR, along with DDI, but you can't scale Deep Security to another level. It is the final product.

It is a very expensive solution, so it has mostly been used at an enterprise level. Around 90% of the customers belong to the financial sector, and around 95% of banks in Pakistan are using it.

They have a pretty good support system. The best part is that they have their support team on the ground in Pakistan. They also have a support team back at their headquarters. Along with that, they have built a support team at the distributor level. They have also trained the partners. So, support is quite good and efficient.

Its installation is pretty easy. You can do the installation remotely because it is on the cloud, so you have access from anywhere.

Installation duration depends on how many servers you have, but it normally takes about four to five days. It is not just the installation. After installing it, you also have to do testing and other stuff.

You do need certified engineers for it.

It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price.

Its license is based on the machines.

I recommend Deep Security to almost all of my customers. It is a very good product. I would rate Deep Security a nine out of 10.
