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.
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"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."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
"It has improved functions by bringing us complete security on our clients' virtual environment."
"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 integration options of Trend Micro Deep Security have been particularly valuable."
"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."
"This solution comes with an API that can easily integrate with other solutions."
"NSX is good in managing security or controlling the security and the access control for each single VM."
"The microsegmentation is great, and the security team thinks it is great."
"Any administrator with basic networking knowledge, in a couple of days, can be in full control of their networking without going through a networking engineer."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable features are the micro-segmentation and integrated security options."
"Overall, for me, it's a good solution and has been working well."
"You can easily integrate this with other VMware products. It is a robust solution."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
"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."
"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."
"It needs to be cheaper."
"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."
"Traffic flow introspection topology visibility is definitely needed because at the moment, NSX-T lacks in this area."
"Quite a complex solution."
"It takes time to do the initial setup. It is a bit slow, which is surprising."
"The network-extending capabilities for the physical environment need improvement."
"One drawback is this solution requires a lot of other products in the VMware ecosystem to have a full end-to-end operation orchestration monitoring. You have to buy a lot of add-ons to fully utilize the functionality."
"The support from VMware NSX could improve."
