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 simplifies the configuration process by offering pre-defined base configurations, including security and connectivity settings."
"The URL filtering is very good and you can create a group for customized URLs."
"Solid intrusion detection and prevention that scales easily in very large environments."
"Cisco Sourcefire SNORT is easy to configure and the reporting is great. It's also very user-friendly."
"Cisco technical support is unbeatable. It offers a premium service every time."
"In general, the features are all great. However, if I need to take hardware for ASA, because they need to upgrade to Firepower, we want to create rules. For that, most of the time we go to the command line. Right now Firepower is working really hard on the grid. You can apply all those rules to the grid. Even if you want to monitor the logs, for example, the activity will tell you which particular user has been blocked because of that rule. Firepower's monitoring interface is very good, because you can see each and every piece. ASA also had it, but there you needed to type the command and be under the server to see all that stuff. In Firepower you have the possibility to go directly to the firewall. The way the monitoring is displayed is also very nice. The feature I appreciate most in Firepower is actually the grid. The grid has worked very well."
"The solution is rather easy to use."
"The product is inexpensive compared to leading brands such as Palo Alto or Fortinet."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"The performance and stability are great."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"To be frank, the product is not really stable, although they're working on that. Whenever I go to the technical community with an issue, they will usually say that it is not there yet, but the technical team are working on it. The issues are not insolvable. I think they should just keep working on the product to make sure that the product can become very stable. The technical support is great. I appreciate that. We have a lot of communities supporting Firepower now, so you can find help for whatever issue you have."
"The pricing needs to be improved. We have lots of low-budget clients around us. Budget constraints are always a deterrent in our market."
"I would like to have analytics included in the suite."
"The main dashboard of Cisco Sourcefire SNORT could improve."
"Integration with other components — even Cisco's own products — can be enhanced to improve administrative experience."
"The initial setup is a little difficult compared to other products in the market. It depends on the environment. If we are doing any migration, it might take months in a brown-field environment."
"The cloud can be improved."
"While the alerts they offer are good, it could improve it in the sense that they should be more detailed to make the alerts more useful to us in general. Sometimes the solution will offer up false positives. Due to the fact that the alerts aren't detailed, we have to go dig around to see why is it being blocked. The solution would be infinitely better if there was just a bit more detail in the alert information and logging we receive."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"The solution could be more secure."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
