We performed a comparison between Cisco NGIPS 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."Technical support is quite good. With firewalls, the last cases I had with Cisco were professionally handled quite quickly and it was great."
"Ir's signature-based. We are also using the anomaly baseline formation, where it links the network, then anything that goes away from the norm is also flagged. Those are the two most valuable features."
"The features that I find most valuable are the DDoS protection, IPS/IDS, and Firepower for web application filtering."
"The solution is stable. This is one of the good things in Firepower. Especially if we use ESE with it."
"The main advantages to Cisco are the scale, the integration, the training, and the possibility of finding somebody to work with."
"The Malware Detection, threat defense, sandboxing, VPN and mail security have all been valuable features of Cisco NGIPS."
"The solution is very powerful coupled with Firepower."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco NGIPS is the centralized user interface. You have the ability to quickly push out configurations across your environment using the Cisco UI. It's a powerful capability of that solution."
"The product is very easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI could be improved. The pain point is really only focused toward the security engineer who configures it and the operation engineer who manages it."
"We have a separate management controller for Cisco NGIPS. If they have not done it already they should integrate Cisco NGIPS with the Cloud Portal."
"There is room for improvement in the policy documentation."
"Should include additional security features."
"The onboarding process could be made a little bit better."
"I think the part of IPS and everything else needs to be better equated to the real needs or current needs of the business compared to the other manufacturer, because it is not straightforward, a way to configure it compared to the other competitors."
"The stability of the user console and some features could be easier to access."
"Cisco NGIPS could improve its ability to do SSL inspections. Sometimes the ability to do SSL inspection is not scalable and you might not be able to get the installment required if you don't size the right hardware."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
"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."
