We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and VMware NSX based on our users' reviews in six parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security is commended for its extensive range of security features and effective data center solutions. However, users have expressed concerns regarding its complexity, limited integration, pricing, and technical support. On the other hand, VMware NSX is highly valued for its control over virtual switches, micro-segmentation, and user-friendly management platform. However, there are areas for improvement, such as licensing clarity, hypervisor support, and support for implementation.
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"I like the anti-malware features."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"It provides a comprehensive feature set and a strong security baseline for us with integrations into other security tools."
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
"The microsegmentation allows me to sleep at night. My job is reducing risk, plugging security holes, and working with the automated layer security. Even if somebody spins up a new server, it has to have a tag in NSX."
"From a distributed firewall perspective, it's a solid solution."
"We are happy with the scalability."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the firewall."
"NSX is good in managing security or controlling the security and the access control for each single VM."
"The we can actually extend Layer 2 networking across datacenters, and also Layer 3 networking, which comes along with it."
"NSX's stand-out function is the distributed firewall. The firewall system is just top-notch, and I haven't seen another solution like it."
"To be able to do the DR and SRM migrations from datacenter to datacenter, we're able to do them with SRM with VXLAN, with the NSX product."
"The product isn't very user-friendly."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"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."
"A minor issue in Trend Micro Deep Security is that once the tool is upgraded, it shows some machines as offline or not reported while showing a recent update as outdated. The tool has some server connection issues."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"Some configuration maximums are limiting to the user, especially when it comes to the deployment of very, very large environments."
"It isn't easy to deploy."
"We would to have a reverse proxy. This would add great value to the solution."
"They have to work more and more on the integration for public cloud services and have cyber security platform integration."
"The next release of NSX should try to make Kubernetes and container integration a little easier than it is now. It's quite a complicated process."
"We have done three installations and we have not had any critical issues. The time it took for the installation was approximately two days. However, they should provide better documentation."
"They have some limitations in the firewall features as compared to the on-prem or dedicated hardware appliance. They can add more features, such as IPS and IDS, to the cloud firewall."
"Their licensing model should make it easier to purchase licenses."
