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's scalable."
"Technical support is good."
"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 traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing."
"It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides."
"It serves its purpose and works well."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"The performance is good."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup process was easy."
"Their technical support is very good. They help us figure out solutions when we have problems."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the DFW (distributed firewall)"
"The initial setup was straightforward. You just have to click it and follow the manuals."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the firewall."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the load balancing and routing of firewall rules. Many of the features are beneficial."
"NSX has excellent security features like virtual firewalls. I also like the micro-segmentation features, which are useful for the virtual machines inside the servers."
"Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used."
"Their automation needs improvement."
"They are still working on the company integration from TippingPoint because this was a recent acquisition from a few years ago. So, a Tipping Point integration with Deep Security, having one single pane of glass dashboard, would provide us a simple use case."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"It lacks full knowledge of physical side of the network topology."
"The first time setting it up was difficult."
"We would like better integration with the standards on the market. For example, with OSPF, their integration in NSX is very low. It's not a full OSPF integration. It is too thin from a protocol perspective."
"VMware NSX provides a lot of automation capabilities, but there is still room for improvement."
"The technical support could use some improvement."
"NSX could better integrate with open-source products. Of course, it integrates with some, but I know many people are uncomfortable deploying NSX with certain open-source solutions, such as Radar."
"The price is rather high."
"We've have had good and bad experiences with them. We don't always find them to be so impactful. Sometimes the support guy isn't so on top of resolving the issue and it can take a while to sort out."
