We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and Check Point CloudGuard Network Security based on our users' reviews in six categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security's initial setup can vary in difficulty, while Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is generally described as straightforward. In terms of features, Trend Micro Deep Security offers comprehensive security solutions for data centers, including virtual patching and advanced options for endpoint security. Check Point CloudGuard Network Security provides valuable features like VPN, IPS, URL filtering, and centralized management. Price-wise, Trend Micro Deep Security is considered costly, as is Check Point CloudGuard Network Security, although it is seen as competitive. Both products have received mixed reviews for their customer support.
"The tool's most valuable features for us are threat prevention, HTTPS inspection, and the Anti-Bot blade. Threat prevention helps to protect our assets from threats. HTTPS inspection ensures secure communication, and the Anti-Bot blade is particularly helpful in detecting C2 servers, enhancing our ability to identify malicious activities and protect our network."
"It matches what we have on-prem. We kept the same management and the same functionality that we were having on-prem. It has simplified things for us because there is no new dashboard to touch."
"The solution's most valuable feature is scalability. We can increase the number of CPUs, memory, and firewall throughput easily. Using CloudGuard Network Security for managing cloud firewall rules is considered easier than using the normal security groups provided by Azure or AWS."
"It is dynamic and agile, and its features and utilities continuously improve and evolve."
"The product gives analytic reports."
"Check Point is one of the few solutions that pay attention to cloud security. Many others mostly focus on providing on-premises solutions."
"The Capsule solution and application filters are the most valuable. It is pretty straightforward to implement, and it also has good stability and scalability. Their technical support is also really good."
"We find all the features valuable, particularly the firewall, application control, URL filtering, and HTTPS detection."
"We use the solution to detect malicious threats, secure the endpoints, and disable the UFT."
"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."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
"Very user-friendly interface, easy to understand."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"Greater automation would reduce the need for manual configuration and management."
"Zero touch removes any independence for configuring."
"They are coming out with more SD-WAN express route support from a firewall perspective. That would be great."
"The solution lacks the capability to scale effectively."
"CloudGuard Network Security needs to include new features. One specific feature I would like to see is the ability to protect external resources using single sign-on integration with various identity providers, including custom identity providers. Its pricing could also be cheaper."
"The only pain points we have had with it were when we did major version upgrades. Rather than being able to do incremental upgrades on those, we had to completely redeploy. I know that has changed recently, but we had some hiccups when we did the upgrades. This is the only issue we have had."
"While today we can manage some scopes, there are still some segments in the OSI layer we cannot manage."
"CloudGuard Network Security's pricing is expensive. We have encountered issues with its licensing."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"The product isn't very user-friendly."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"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."
