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."The most valuable feature of this solution is the filtering."
"Solid intrusion detection and prevention that scales easily in very large environments."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Sourcefire SNORT are the dashboard for monitoring events."
"It is quite an intelligent product."
"The solution is stable."
"Cisco Sourcefire SNORT is easy to configure and the reporting is great. It's also very user-friendly."
"In general, the features are all great. However, if I need to take hardware for ASA, because they need to upgrade to Firepower, we want to create rules. For that, most of the time we go to the command line. Right now Firepower is working really hard on the grid. You can apply all those rules to the grid. Even if you want to monitor the logs, for example, the activity will tell you which particular user has been blocked because of that rule. Firepower's monitoring interface is very good, because you can see each and every piece. ASA also had it, but there you needed to type the command and be under the server to see all that stuff. In Firepower you have the possibility to go directly to the firewall. The way the monitoring is displayed is also very nice. The feature I appreciate most in Firepower is actually the grid. The grid has worked very well."
"The product is inexpensive compared to leading brands such as Palo Alto or Fortinet."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"The performance and stability are great."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"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 features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"I don't think this solution is a time-based control system, because one cannot filter traffic based on time."
"Integration with other components — even Cisco's own products — can be enhanced to improve administrative experience."
"I did not experience any pain points that required improvement. Maybe a couple of false-positives, but that's about it."
"With the next release, I would like to see some PBR, so that you can do the configuration with the features."
"The customization of the rules can be simplified."
"The solution's approach to managing traffic blocking is confusing and impractical."
"The cloud can be improved."
"There are problems setting up VPNs for some regions."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
