We performed a comparison between KerioControl 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."It has helped our organization with testing."
"Kerio has improved my organization's security."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The product is easy to use."
"Kerio Control is easy to use and provides the ability to deliver customized solutions."
"One thing we use quite a lot, as well, is the DHCP Server, because we do a lot of work where all our devices need to have static IP addresses. Rather than going around and configuring every box, we do it all through DHCP reservations. It's easier. We've got a record of it. We can manipulate it if we need to change something or change some hardware. It's all easy. Even guys who are not used to using it can pick it up quite quickly."
"The comprehensiveness of the security features that Kerio Control provides us with is good. Before GFI had it, they would have more updates. The updates have been slower, but I like the things that they keep adding like the ability to block by country. I use pretty much every feature."
"I did not face any issues with stability while using the tool's trial version."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"The product is very easy to install."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"The solution has extension-based features that help it to analyze the environment. The environment can have different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool will give a report which can confirm the analysis of the issues. You can also get clear information on threats or suspicious files."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"After the takeover by GFI, one of the things that Kerio built was MyKerio environment. This has not been very reliable because I get many messages that MyKerio is not functioning. For some reason, there are things that they changed and it is not very reliable at this moment, instead I have to connect to the firewall to see what is happening."
"The GUI should be changed because it remains the same consistency across versions. However, those who have been using KerioControl for a long time may be accustomed to the current interface. Installing a new version in the same location makes it easy to find, but overall, there are no notable changes between versions."
"I have had a few issues with HTTPS decryption. The solution also does not show the actual user's Internet usage."
"The VPN features are the ones that we really like, but we are using a VPN client to be able to use them. We would like to have an SSL implementation for this same feature so we don't need to install anything on the client side. That's a feature I really miss and that should really be embedded in the product. We really would love to use it via a web browser."
"It has a VPN back to our data center but I don't think it has increased the number of VPN clients extended to those outside our environment"
"If I would suggest anything, it would be to expand on its multifactor authentication to be a little bit more user-friendly. They should do multifactor authentications for the client itself perhaps, rather than served on a webpage, in a page hijack, that might be more user-friendly, but I don't have a lot of complaints about it. It's doing its job. You have to have a certain amount of skills to configure these things anyway, the ones that we use on-site doing point-to-point, and we've been tricked up a few times with their interfaces."
"We'd like to have more integrations Kerio Operator."
"Kerio Control has just improved on their biggest problem, which was to introduce better support for high-availability requirements in production."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
