We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and Cisco Secure Workload 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 is praised for its extensive security features, virtual patching, stability, and scalability. However, it is criticized for its complexity, outdated design, high cost, and the need for better integration and technical support. On the other hand, Cisco Secure Workload is known for being user-friendly, with a well-designed UI and GUI, and provides a complete solution. It also receives praise for its stability and helpful technical support. However, it is criticized for its integration, complexity, and controversial changes in data storage.
"Secure Workload's best feature is that it's an end-to-end offering from Cisco."
"The solution offers 100% telemetry coverage. The telemetry you collect is not sampled, it's not intermittent. It's complete. You see everything in it, including full visibility of all activities on your endpoints and in your network."
"Instead of proving that all the access control lists are in place and all the EPGs are correct, we can just point the auditor to a dashboard and point out that there aren't any escaped conversations. It saves an enormous, enormous amount of time."
"By using Tetration insight, we are able to get the latency on our level accounts and we can determine whatever the issue is with the application latency itself."
"Scalability is its most valuable feature."
"The product offers great visibility into the network so we can enforce security measures."
"The product provides multiple-device integration."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is security."
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"We use the solution to detect malicious threats, secure the endpoints, and disable the UFT."
"This product offers good protection against many types of malware."
"We like the Smart protection and the Virtual patching."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."
"Technical support is good."
"The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."
"It has an uninviting interface."
"The emailed notifications are either hard to find or they are not available. Search capabilities can be improved."
"There was a controversy when Cisco reduced the amount of data they kept, and the solution became quite cost-intensive, which made its adoption challenging….Although they have modified it now, I preferred the previous version, and I wish all the functionality were back under the same product."
"There is some overlap between Cisco Tetration and AppDynamics and I need to have a single pane of glass, rather than have to jump between different tools."
"The integration could be better, especially with different types of solutions."
"The multi-tenancy, redundancy, backup and restore functionalities, as well as the monitoring aspects of the solution, need improvement. The solution offers virtually no enterprise-grade possibility for monitoring."
"The product must be integrated with the cloud."
"It is not so easy to use and configure. It needs a bunch of further resources to work, which is mainly the biggest downside of it. The deployment is huge."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"The risk is very complex. We need our tools to be more intelligent, more automated, more detectable."
"The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"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."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
