"We have found the overall functionality of the product to be exactly similar to the physical product. The one good advantage is that it is cloud-based and can be deployed either as a part of a scale set or one can shut down the virtual machine and adjust the physical parameters of the virtual machine easily and bring it right back up."
"The tool's most valuable features are the REST APIs that help to automate the deployment and maintenance process. It helps us to reduce time to 15-25 minutes compared to the manual process which used to take around two to three hours."
"I like how straightforward it is and simple it is to implement in the cloud."
"Any kind of cloud environment anywhere can be protected through this effortlessly."
"All the features that we subscribe to from CloudGuard NGTP are valuable. All the threat prevention and access control features give us the network security that we expect."
"The notifications, the visibility, and the deployment are the most valuable. It could be packaged in such a way that it took a lot of time and resources off our hands, so it was more efficient."
"It really is a pretty complete solution."
"I like the firewall and the virtual machine. I also like that it's compatible with Amazon Web Services and Azure."
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you."
"The most valuable feature of the product is vulnerability detection."
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"The performance is good."
"Sometimes, if you aren't familiar with the solution, it can be a bit complex, but it does become easier to use with time. However, every time they launch a new version, it becomes more complex and you need to take time to get familiar with all the changes. For every version that they upgrade, you need to upskill yourself."
"The documentation could be much better."
"The documentation has been rough. Being able to do it yourself can be hit or miss given the constraints of the documentation."
"Most clients nowadays tend to move to the cloud and their data security is key. If CloudGuard could be able to give the client that full visibility of how their data is protected on the cloud, then that would be a great selling point for Check Point."
"The management console can be simplified because at the moment, it is a bit of a challenge to use."
"The cost needs improvement as it is currently quite expensive."
"In case the device is inaccessible due to some issue such as CPU or memory, there is no separate port or hardware partition provided for troubleshooting purposes."
"I would like to see more focus on east-west traffic inspection and AWS."
"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 initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
"What this product lacks at this stage is the ability to have automated workbooks to do the response. At this stage, the response is more manual, and it is not automated. If there is a response functionality in Deep Security, similar to what we have in EDR these days, to automatically respond to some of the threats, it would be cool. So, we'd like to have an automated response. There should be a response functionality."
"Deep Security's reporting functionality could be improved."
"The solution could use more integration."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
