We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Trend Micro Deep Discovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We are able to define our own rules for detection."
"The solution's IPS functionality and firewall functionality are the solution's most valuable features."
"Check Point Intrusion Prevention System has great profiles, and we can continuously create, modify, activate, deactivate or configure any specific setting to allow the profile to focus on just one thing or for certain attacks."
"There's an automatic update after every 2 hours which makes sure that the database is up to date and providing zero-day vulnerability protection."
"The number of the IPS protections is amazing - after the latest update I see more than 11000 in the SmartConsole."
"Some of the features for views and visualization are already predefined as default files."
"There's less admin burden to detect these threats as Check Point IPS will do it all for you and suggest the best preventive actions to protect the network."
"The solution is user-friendly and the interface is easy to configure."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"The solution has extension-based features that help it to analyze the environment. The environment can have different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool will give a report which can confirm the analysis of the issues. You can also get clear information on threats or suspicious files."
"I hear from my admin that the firmware upgrade process is quite cumbersome."
"I am not aware of a preview channel or some repository to have a preview on upcoming signatures, however, this would be nice to have."
"In my opinion, the Check Point software engineers should works on the performance of the blade - when it is activated with the big number of the protections in place, the monitoring shows us the significant increase in the CPU utilization for the gateway appliances - up to 30 percents, even so we are cherry-picking only the profiles that we really needed."
"We have a lot of false positives and the list of IPs are not up to date in terms of their location."
"The cost is a bit high but it is worth it."
"I would like to have the possibility of adding features to this IPS solution in the future."
"Sometimes protections are 'aggregated' into a single threat name when you look at the logs. I would prefer to see all protections named individually (for example, right now, 'web enforcement' is a category that contains several signatures)."
"Having additional reports available would be helpful."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"The product's security features need enhancement."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
