We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around.""It allows me to see all the traffic on my network.""I find the interface easy to use.""It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies.""The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability.""The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks.""The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."

"The performance is good.""The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you.""It serves its purpose and works well.""Virtual patching is a wonderful feature where we do a recommendation scan and an internal assessment on the server, and it updates the IPS signatures to block any attack. I have seen instances where it has prevented attacks on the end-of-support servers such as 2018 R2, and many years ago, even 2007 servers that were end-of-support. It certainly helped there.""The tool provides information on server activities and hosts.""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.""The most valuable feature is the virtual patching.""The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."

Cons
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB.""I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often.""The web interface could be much better.""Alerts and reporting features must be improved.""I would like to see analytics, big data.""The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable.""The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings.""The product’s pricing needs improvement."

More Fortinet FortiDDoS Cons →

"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary.""The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support.""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.""It would be better if they merge a few features into one product. For example, they have an encryption feature that is separately sold. If they could merge it with Apex One or any endpoint security solution, maybe it would also be good for the end user.""Their support should be improved. We need support in the UAE, but it is always going to some other country or region, and the time schedule is not suitable for us.""I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware.""Deep Security's reporting functionality could be improved.""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."

  • "The solution is reasonably priced."
  • "The product’s pricing needs improvement."
  • More Fortinet FortiDDoS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
  • "Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
  • "The pricing is fair."
  • "Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
  • "Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
  • "We do pay-as-you-go pricing, which is good for us. We are working with Trend Micro's sales rep to see if we can have something similar for on-premise."
  • "We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
  • "We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Trend Micro Deep Security stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its robust data and loss prevention feature and its patch management, which saves users money. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:

    One PeerSpot reviewer, a Senior Security Advisor at a healthcare company, writes, “DLP, Data Loss Prevention, and the complexity of how we manage the console and how this client, or this tool, will notify us when there is something going wrong within the server and endpoint, is good.”

    Nadeem S., CEO at Haniya Technologies, notes of the solution, “Patch management is most valuable. The major selling point of Deep Security is that it is based on the cloud. Deep Security is for the servers and databases of data centers, and generally, for patch management, you have to shut down the machines, and then you have to restart them. So, they need shutdown time, which is a cost.”
