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.
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
"You can scale the solution to different versions."
"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."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
"The customer service/technical support for this solution is very fast."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"The solution is quite secure."
"Technically, VMware NSX is more advanced technology-wise when compared to others. We have been studying it and so far, so good. We know that the NSX product is superior when it comes to software virtualized networks. </p> <p>If you are looking to work with new and future technologies, then NSX is one of the best options. It costs less for power consumption since it will be a virtual network and not a pure physical network that consumes more energy."
"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."
"The migration methods are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the firewall."
"The most valuable features are stability and low cost."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create, develop, and deploy servers in minutes to hours, rather than days."
"The alert features are the most valuable."
"You can easily integrate this with other VMware products. It is a robust solution."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them."
"What this product lacks at this stage is the ability to have automated workbooks to do the response. At this stage, the response is more manual, and it is not automated. If there is a response functionality in Deep Security, similar to what we have in EDR these days, to automatically respond to some of the threats, it would be cool. So, we'd like to have an automated response. There should be a response functionality."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"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."
"VMware NSX should be able to scale for different customers, even the big ones. Its scalability needs improvement. Stability for it should also be improved."
"I think that one of the more important things to see better integrated into the NSX product would be an IDS/IPS type solution."
"If you're worried that NSX is too complex, I would tell you to take another look. If you compare NSX to a similar solution you might find it to be a bit more complex. Usually, the guy that comes in to implement NSX isn't the network guy and will lack the knowledge for the program. He can lack the knowledge for this program and will therefore think it's complex. You need somebody with network experience."
"The setup of the solution could be simplified."
"An area for improvement in VMware NSX is that it uses up more resources and is heavy on the network. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is more automation."
"It could be cheaper!"
"I would like to see automation capabilities in the deployment process."
