"We like the centralized management of the firewalls. Until we installed Guardicore Centra, we managed all our firewalls individually, so making changes was complicated, difficult, and time-consuming."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"The real bonus is the fact that we can secure applications, all the way down to the individual services, on each host. It's actually more granular security than we can get out of a traditional firewall."
"Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"Initially, I liked the telemetry part. But later, we used the microsegmentation features that we were able to deploy and found that they really stood out from other vendors. It allows us to see microsegmentation as distributed services."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a firewall-based solution. We just open the required reports to the server—to server communication—and that's how we use Deep Security."
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."
"The solution has a low footprint and does not have a lot of impact on the host."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"Supports become difficult when it's for a big organization. For a small organization, medium organization, it still makes sense, however, for a big organization, it makes life difficult."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"Guardicore Centra should incorporate automation so that we don't require to write custom scripts and APIs. The tool also has limitations on rules where it allows only sixty thousand rules. Our clients have also commented that there are too many manual clicks and effort to do changes. I think that the incorporation of automation can help our clients make changes with confidence and without the possibility of human error."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"The solution could use more integration."
"The cost is very high."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
