We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and VMware NSX based on our users' reviews in six parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security is commended for its extensive range of security features and effective data center solutions. However, users have expressed concerns regarding its complexity, limited integration, pricing, and technical support. On the other hand, VMware NSX is highly valued for its control over virtual switches, micro-segmentation, and user-friendly management platform. However, there are areas for improvement, such as licensing clarity, hypervisor support, and support for implementation.
"There are compliance issues for legacy applications and after applying OS security patches. The product's HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System) modules do the job for you automatically, without any downtime."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"For server security purposes, I like the product's firewall."
"I like the anti-malware features."
"The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is a complete solution and all the threat management has been taken care of."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the virtual path function, which is the reason we chose to implement it."
"Technical support is good."
"The Distributed firewall is simple to add to the network and rules are easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the ability to set up virtual networking environments."
"Some of the key features I find most valuable are the highly graphical user interface, virtualization of networks, and Microsoft application compatibility. It has all the functionality that we require."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the load balancing and routing of firewall rules. Many of the features are beneficial."
"The best part is the blueprint creation where I can create their things and then move on to the target environment."
"The microsegmentation allows me to sleep at night. My job is reducing risk, plugging security holes, and working with the automated layer security. Even if somebody spins up a new server, it has to have a tag in NSX."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the firewall."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"Their support should be improved. We need support in the UAE, but it is always going to some other country or region, and the time schedule is not suitable for us."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"The price could be reduced."
"There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"VMware NSX could improve by having more compatibility with other none Window-based operating systems."
"The support needs improvement."
"The initial establishment can be complex."
"In the next release, they should enhance the visual interface. With NSX-T, it's difficult to communicate between the public cloud and the container."
"It's a good product, but the way that it has got so many multiple levels that need to be purchased makes it expensive and cumbersome."
"VMware NSX only supports some platforms like KVM."
"It's not feature-rich."
