We performed a comparison between Cisco IOS Security 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."The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"The hardware is pretty stable. It's also a very good product performance-wise. Initially, it wasn't mature like a firewall and there were other leaders, but now they have included almost all the features of next-generation security. Basically, it's a good product to work with."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability. The nice thing with the bigger vendors is that they're very good at scale."
"Previously, anyone in the organization would see any data point in the wall. They could just go and connect their machine with that data point and could access the network. But now, even if someone came and tried that, they will not be given access."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to deal with."
"The most valuable features are DNS service and shell self-service within a network."
"The most valuable features of Cisco IOS Security are the plenty of functionality it provides, many people are IT certified the usage, and the user interface is good."
"We are able to filter a lot of traffic especially when a lot of the traffic is in layer 7."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"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."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"An area for improvement in Cisco IOS Security is the performance because it's not as stable sometimes. There's also some latency in the solution, which could be improved. Cisco IOS Security integrates with other solutions, but you'll encounter many errors after integration, so this is another area for improvement. I'd like to see enhanced performance and a simplified setup in the next version of Cisco IOS Security."
"There could be a bit more functions on offer that could make it easier to use."
"Cisco is an expensive firewall, so the pricing can be improved."
"The initial setup is complicated."
"I think setup could be one area for improvement, because sometimes we don't have people inside so we have to move to the place."
"The configuration and reporting interfaces need a lot of improvement. It needs to be more accessible forsolide without a strong technical background. If you had a simplified dashboard, the lower-level techs could manage the solution and provide services. Cisco IOS Security requires someone who is highly trained to operate it."
"There are the usual bugs that are inherent to some software upgrades. Sometimes this provides some unexpected issues, however, it happens with all brands all the time."
"There's a technology called SD-WAN that we would like to see. We are unable to handle multiple connections or to automatically load balance. I would like to have a feature that enables us to automatically prepare for load balancing."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"The product's security features need enhancement."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
