Cisco IOS Security vs Trellix Intrusion Prevention System comparison

"The technical support is good."

"Previously, anyone in the organization would see any data point in the wall. They could just go and connect their machine with that data point and could access the network. But now, even if someone came and tried that, they will not be given access."

"We are able to filter a lot of traffic especially when a lot of the traffic is in layer 7."

"The VPN connection portal scan works flawlessly, which was a big plus for us."

"You can scale it when you need to."

"Cisco products are very secure and integrate easily with other devices."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Cisco is head-and-shoulders above all of the competition when it comes to technical support."

"The threat intelligence updates are very accurate."

"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."

"The ability to centrally manage all the IPS sensors, track the different security events generated by it, and customize the different policies, depending on their location."

"Great monitoring feature."

"The feature I found most valuable is the network threat analyzer in the security platform. It also integrates with GTI, or Global Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I just use the basic features."

"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."

"The solution can scale."

"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."

"There could be a bit more functions on offer that could make it easier to use."

"The initial setup is complicated."

"I would love it if it has a link-by-link feature, integration with Unified Threat Management (UTM), and load balancers. They haven't got any link-by-link feature right now, which can be a very attractive option. This link-by-link feature can also be made available for Cisco's UTM firewalls. The link-by-link feature is available in some of the other firewalls. Currently, integration with UTM is missing. Cisco IOS Security also doesn't have the load balancers and a few things that need to be done to get a good UTM firewall. Normally, other firewalls have UTM. As a next-generation firewall, it's good, but as a UTM, it has to do some work."

"With respect to user-friendliness, it is a command-line interface and those with such experience will get along just fine, whereas others may struggle."

"While Cisco IOS Security is stable and scalable, I would like to see it improved to be even better."

"Cisco IOS Security should improve its functionalities."

"We have a very bad experience on the support. They take too much time requesting logs, and they are not coming directly online to resolve the issues."

"An area for improvement in Cisco IOS Security is the performance because it's not as stable sometimes. There's also some latency in the solution, which could be improved. Cisco IOS Security integrates with other solutions, but you'll encounter many errors after integration, so this is another area for improvement. I'd like to see enhanced performance and a simplified setup in the next version of Cisco IOS Security."

"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."

"The solution could improve some aspects of detection."

"The technical support has room for improvement."

"The management console needs to be less complex and easier to navigate."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The area of concern where the tool needs improvement is how the product prompts users at a network level that helps prevent any wireless network attacks through alerts and notifications."

"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."

"We would like to have a simpler version. Some settings and functions on the McAfee console are complex and complicated. I want the management console to be simpler."

"The pricing is okay. It is competitive. It costs more when you need get more features."

"Cisco IOS Security is not very expensive, and pricing depends on where you live. It's affordable for both individuals and institutions. On a scale from one to five, I would give Cisco's pricing a four."

"The pricing is average and includes all features with support."

"The solution's pricing is very good."

"The pricing is very expensive. Normally I do a yearly contract; I don't know the exact pricing, but it's around $75,000 USD per year. That's the standard licensing."

"The cost may be around $5,000 to $10,000 a year. If you want support you have to pay at least this price."

"The tool could be priced lower. If you want advanced services, then you need to purchase them."

"The product is expensive."

"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten."

"The tool is competitively priced."
