"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
"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."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."

"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
