We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation based on our users' reviews in five categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security is highly regarded for its extensive security solutions, user-friendly interface, and the inclusion of virtual patching. However, users find it to be intricate and suggest improvements in terms of integration, pricing, and technical support. In contrast, Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation receives praise for its monitoring capabilities and the convenience of auto policy writing. Nonetheless, it has limitations in terms of operating system support and customer service. It should be noted that pricing for both products is considered high, although the specific details may differ.
"The product provides visibility into how the applications communicate and how the network protocols are being used."
"It has helped us to understand internal network visibility and firewall policy implementation. We use the product to simplify firewall policy implementation."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The flexibility of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Illumio Adaptive Security Platform is monitoring. When I have no requirement from the other application, I can use the web block traffic to build."
"The features that I have found most useful is the ability to centralize all the rules and then distribute them across various locations. However, I've encountered challenges related to tagging policies, which can be complex to devise. It's a matter that requires careful consideration and stakeholder involvement before implementing such policies."
"The solution helps to maintain logs and monitor activities. It also helps us with access management. The tool helps us to secure organizational data that include files."
"The Explorer allows you to know the traffic between source and destination."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the virtual path function, which is the reason we chose to implement it."
"For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done."
"DLP, Data Loss Prevention, and the complexity of how we manage the console and how this client, or this tool, will notify us when there is something going wrong within the server and endpoint, is good."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a firewall-based solution. We just open the required reports to the server—to server communication—and that's how we use Deep Security."
"It has improved functions by bringing us complete security on our clients' virtual environment."
"Illumio Adaptive Security Platform could improve by supporting more operating systems. For example, Cisco and Apache appliances."
"The customer service is lagging a bit. It could be better."
"It requires a low-level re-architecting of the product."
"I would like to see better data security in the product."
"The product’s agents don't work very well in OT environments."
"Some of the features that can be improved is offer additional guidance on creating an effective and risk-free tagging policy would be highly beneficial."
"The solution is very basic and doesn't do anything other than the orchestration of layer four endpoint firewall rules."
"The interaction we've had with the support team hasn't been ideal. Technical support should be improved."
"We'd like to have more application control."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support."
"Their support should be improved. We need support in the UAE, but it is always going to some other country or region, and the time schedule is not suitable for us."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."
"The problem with this solution is that if you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the cost."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
