Easy to deploy with the traceback feature that lets you trace back an attack
Pros and Cons
- "The traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing."
- "There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
What is our primary use case?
I used it in my previous company, and it was basically used for security levels. My company was into the implementation of projects, and we used to implement security solutions. Along with Trend Micro, we used to implement these devices. We had several customers of this solution.
What is most valuable?
The traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing.
What needs improvement?
There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things.
It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for the past three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable in a way, but you get false-positive malware notifications.
How are customer service and technical support?
Their support can be improved. For our case related to the virtual analyzer or CMC error, they couldn't trace back the issue. We were frequently getting notifications on that server, which were false-positive. They couldn't say why this is happening, and what is making this client trigger these errors. They couldn't advise on that. They should be more knowledgeable.
How was the initial setup?
Its initial setup is straightforward. Deployment duration depends on the environment. Sometimes, we needed to deploy two or three devices, and we had to consult Trend Micro. Their best practices are also there.
What about the implementation team?
We had a technical team of four engineers, including me.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution, but it has scope for improvement.
I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security an eight out of ten.

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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Good application integration and supports virtual patching
Pros and Cons
- "This product offers good protection against many types of malware."
- "They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
What is our primary use case?
Trend Micro makes up part of our overall security solution.
How has it helped my organization?
This product offers good protection against many types of malware.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the virtual patching. It means that you don't have to patch applications manually, such as the monthly updates that are released from Microsoft.
Application integration is good. For example, there is a specific module for SAP.
What needs improvement?
They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now. I have four locations and I need to log in to each location's portal to look at it. That is a very big job and I would like to have a consolidated report for all of them.
We would like to see the advanced threat protection (ATP) built-in, without having to use another product.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Trend Micro Deep Security for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have never had an issue with stability. Some of my colleagues have had problems but technical support dealt with them quickly.
How are customer service and technical support?
My colleagues were able to receive support for issues quickly. I would rate the support a nine out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I also have experience with McAfee and one of the nice features it has is a central portal, where different locations are integrated and I can do everything from one place.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not at all complex. Anybody can do the implementation. The length of time required for deployment depends on how many systems are being integrated.
What other advice do I have?
This is a product that I definitely recommend.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Easy to set up and we are happy with the technical support
Pros and Cons
- "The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."

Our environment includes virtual machines using VMware, and this solution is used as part of the overall security solution.
How has it helped my organization?
We evaluated this solution with a PoC and since our implementation, we have been happy with it.
What needs improvement?
The situation with the currency in Turkey makes this solution a little bit on the expensive side, and if it were lowered then it would be more competitive.
For how long have I used the solution?

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability has not been an issue for us.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

My team is happy with the technical support.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Price-wise, compared to the products that we had invested in before, this is a valuable solution. That said, it is a little bit expensive in Turkey because of our currency.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, we are satisfied with this product and I don't have any complaints about it. It is one that I recommend.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
