It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats
Pros and Cons
  • "It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides."
  • "The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for security, specifically for old servers still in the company. It is doing its job.

How has it helped my organization?

I have heard of a lot of threats coming from Europe, but they have never touched our company.

The reports are very extensive. They give us information about things that we are not expecting, such as number of threats that failed due to compromised servers.

What is most valuable?

It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides.

What needs improvement?

The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary.

Trend Micro Deep Security
April 2025
Learn what your peers think about Trend Micro Deep Security. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: April 2025.
851,823 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable. We are not putting too much stress on it since we are scaling down.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not had any problems with scalability. We have very few servers for it to protect. Instead of scaling out, we are shrinking the number of servers (scaling down).

What about the implementation team?

We hired a third-party to do the AWS integration and configuration. The reseller appointed them, and everything was done for us.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there, as we already have workloads in Indianapolis. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We already use Trend Micro for their endpoint protection. Therefore, we selected them for their server product because we liked their endpoint protection product. The process took a week to ten days. 

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend it. I have been satisfied, as it is a good product.

Cloud-based, great for patch management, saves time, and can be installed remotely
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and technical support?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

You do need certified engineers for it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

Its license is based on the machines.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Protects vulnerabilities; automated virtual patching is a very good feature
Pros and Cons
  • "Automated virtual patching is a good feature."
  • "Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is for endpoint protection and email as well as web protection. We are stacking our servers once a month and vulnerabilities are checked every day. I'm a senior director in the company and we're a customer of Trend.  

What is most valuable?

Automated virtual patching would be the most valuable feature. Deep Security has an option called recommendation scans. Once that feature is enabled, it scans the endpoints for these vulnerability questions and the tool can implement the rules to prevent the vulnerability found in this batch.

What needs improvement?

This is a very good tool but I don't find it to be a particularly user friendly solution, a lot of trouble shooting is required. I believe it needs simplification, without that they will run into continual problems. For now the solution requires spending a lot of time on module issues and anti-malware modules. We also have issues with scaling and this area could be improved. Adding one additional end point means you need to re-input all the other end points. If you have 1,000 users, that is not possible in real time. Each time we deploy new managers we need to connect with all endpoints and they need to be re-entered. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is very good and as we grow we are expanding our tool networks.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is straightforward. We initially procured the tool for 50 people and we've now implemented it for 200. There are many new customers coming in so we're looking to scale it to 1000 plus endpoints.

What other advice do I have?

I am completely satisfied with this tool but we still plan to implement with the Symantec Endpoint Protection for the upgrade segment. We want to use a different tool for endpoint security because if there are any bugs in Trend Micro or any other tool we use then we're in trouble so we've decided not to have multiple tools from the same vendor. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

A reliable and easy-to-use product that has an excellent dashboard and an amazing support team
Pros and Cons
  • "The user interface is the most valuable feature."
  • "The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently."

What is our primary use case?

I used the solution for a UK-based banking company. They had around 200 Linux servers. They had the product installed as an antivirus solution on the servers. We were responsible for managing malware or virus detection. We protected the environment from malicious files.

What is most valuable?

The user interface is the most valuable feature. The customer support provided by the tool is also valuable. The software is regularly updated. We don't face any major issues after updates. It is pretty compatible with every system.

What needs improvement?

The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently. The product must improve on it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the product’s stability a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the tool’s scalability a nine out of ten. I work with a security services company. Four of my colleagues are also using it in their enterprise environment.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support is very good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The solution provides proper documentation for setting it up. It's pretty easy. We can follow the steps in the video tutorials. It’s simple to configure. We installed Trend Micro Deep Security Manager on Windows Server and connected all the agents to it. The deployment took around five to seven minutes on each server. It depends on the network speed.

What other advice do I have?

My company is a partner. I am a technical person supporting my clients with the product. Trend Micro is a very reliable company. Its products are easy to use and easy to deploy. It has a pretty good name in the cybersecurity market. Trend Micro continuously conducts workshops and events to engage with its partners. It keeps the partners and customers aware of the new technologies.

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