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.
"Trend Micro gave our security teams a certain degree of comfort by just having it in the background, as they have familiarity with the product."
"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."
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The customer service/technical support for this solution is very fast."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is a complete solution and all the threat management has been taken care of."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"Virtual patching is a wonderful feature where we do a recommendation scan and an internal assessment on the server, and it updates the IPS signatures to block any attack. I have seen instances where it has prevented attacks on the end-of-support servers such as 2018 R2, and many years ago, even 2007 servers that were end-of-support. It certainly helped there."
"The solution is robust as it covers everything we want to do and is stable, so we're happy enough with it. We have had no problems so far. Everything is great."
"The most valuable features for us at this early stage are the interface and the integration with existing VMware solutions."
"NSX is good in managing security or controlling the security and the access control for each single VM."
"We like that everything is integrated."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the firewall."
"It operates on a logical level, providing a comprehensive and centralized way to manage your network resources."
"This is the most scalable product of its type."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"Despite being somewhat behind in the cybersecurity field, VMware should develop a cloud and a red team to continuously monitor for new malware and ransomware."
"VMware NSX could improve by having more compatibility with other none Window-based operating systems."
"The setup is complex and should be made easier."
"They need to enhance their technical support."
"The vendor should integrate a basic load balancer in future versions"
"Some configuration maximums are limiting to the user, especially when it comes to the deployment of very, very large environments."
"The solution is only sold as part of a bundle and not as an individual product."
"VMware NSX can improve the migration tools from the older environments to the new environment. For example, the NSX-V has become a legacy solution, it's out of support, but customers are able to keep using it. For migration purposes, it's better for them to provide a proper tool. It will be easy to migrate from an old environment to a new one."
