We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Trend Micro Deep Discovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The autonomous threat prevention is very easy to use. The APIs and SmartConsole tool also work well."
"The most valuable feature is that it protects us against hundreds of different attack vectors, like ransomware. The protection is always being triggered. People try to access websites that are categorized as malware, so when the users do a DNS request for the IP of those malware websites, the IPS Blade replaces the real IP of the website that is malware with a bogus IP. The user gets an IP that doesn't exist and when he tries to access, it won't work."
"The possibility of customizing the rules is great."
"It is easy to configure."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its detection panel. Managing and updating policies within Check Point IPS is easy and without issues. It provides a secure network."
"The reports are well written so that you can understand what type of attack has occurred, the originating IP address, and other details."
"IPS signatures can be set quite granularly depending on your environment. You can filter on performance impact, severity, and confidence which makes sizing and adapting easier."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that the product's stability has been very good. The"
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"The performance and stability are great."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"The cost is high."
"Check Point IPS' main problem is it is mostly software based. The performance is dependent on the CPU power, and the limited number of patterns."
"There is an issue with precision."
"I hear from my admin that the firmware upgrade process is quite cumbersome."
"Having additional reports available would be helpful."
"The solution needs enhanced reporting. The reporting on Cisco Stealthwatch and Darktrace is much bigger. The visibility that they grant for the filtering capabilities over large infrastructures are far superior."
"The only thing they could maybe improve is that we notice right away that the performance decreases when we enable the IPS, especially beyond the CPU and memory usage. If you want to enable the IPS and you have a lot of traffic, it can have an impact. The performance could be improved."
"The pain point that I have with this solution is contacting technical support."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"The product's security features need enhancement."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
"The tool's configuration can be made easier."
"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."
