We performed a comparison between Cisco Sourcefire SNORT and Trend Micro Deep Discovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is inexpensive compared to leading brands such as Palo Alto or Fortinet."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically learn the traffic in our environment, and change the merit recommendations based on that."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the filtering."
"Solid intrusion detection and prevention that scales easily in very large environments."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility that we have across the virtual environment."
"In general, the features are all great. However, if I need to take hardware for ASA, because they need to upgrade to Firepower, we want to create rules. For that, most of the time we go to the command line. Right now Firepower is working really hard on the grid. You can apply all those rules to the grid. Even if you want to monitor the logs, for example, the activity will tell you which particular user has been blocked because of that rule. Firepower's monitoring interface is very good, because you can see each and every piece. ASA also had it, but there you needed to type the command and be under the server to see all that stuff. In Firepower you have the possibility to go directly to the firewall. The way the monitoring is displayed is also very nice. The feature I appreciate most in Firepower is actually the grid. The grid has worked very well."
"The solution is rather easy to use."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"If the price is brought down then everybody will be happy."
"The pricing needs to be improved. We have lots of low-budget clients around us. Budget constraints are always a deterrent in our market."
"The main dashboard of Cisco Sourcefire SNORT could improve."
"Performance needs improvement."
"The cloud can be improved."
"The implementation could be a bit easier."
"The solution's approach to managing traffic blocking is confusing and impractical."
"The customization of the rules can be simplified."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"The product's security features need enhancement."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
