"I found the solution to be stable."
"Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"Initially, I liked the telemetry part. But later, we used the microsegmentation features that we were able to deploy and found that they really stood out from other vendors. It allows us to see microsegmentation as distributed services."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"We use the solution to detect malicious threats, secure the endpoints, and disable the UFT."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"It can scale well."
"Very user-friendly interface, easy to understand."
"Very straightforward and very easy to implement."
"The most valuable features are web security, email filtering, and content filtering."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"Guardicore Centra should incorporate automation so that we don't require to write custom scripts and APIs. The tool also has limitations on rules where it allows only sixty thousand rules. Our clients have also commented that there are too many manual clicks and effort to do changes. I think that the incorporation of automation can help our clients make changes with confidence and without the possibility of human error."
"Supports become difficult when it's for a big organization. For a small organization, medium organization, it still makes sense, however, for a big organization, it makes life difficult."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"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."
"We want to see improved authentication."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
