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.
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
"The traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"Some of the main features of this solution are it is reliable and can be used in small to large size businesses."
"The product has valuable features for security and network extension."
"We are happy with the scalability."
"Firewall security is one of VMware NSX's vital features"
"It does have capabilities of micro-segmenting a network, being able to create smaller segments of various types of applications separated by various tiers."
"The we can actually extend Layer 2 networking across datacenters, and also Layer 3 networking, which comes along with it."
"From a security standpoint, the customer was able to better secure critical workloads while routing L2/L3 worked normally, giving them more confidence that they would be ready for any potential security incident mitigation or outage (DR)."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup process was easy."
"From a distributed firewall perspective, it's a solid solution."
"The risk is very complex. We need our tools to be more intelligent, more automated, more detectable."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support."
"I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"It might be nice to have more AI in the future."
"I want to see the solution expand to more than just the network, for example, perhaps it could provide some VLAN technologies."
"The scalability is not perfect."
"An area for improvement in VMware NSX is that it uses up more resources and is heavy on the network. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is more automation."
"Some configuration maximums are limiting to the user, especially when it comes to the deployment of very, very large environments."
"We would to have a reverse proxy. This would add great value to the solution."
"In the future, the solution should be compliant with internet NIC."
"Its licensing model could be VM based."
