We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and Cisco Secure Workload based on our users' reviews in six categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security is praised for its extensive security features, virtual patching, stability, and scalability. However, it is criticized for its complexity, outdated design, high cost, and the need for better integration and technical support. On the other hand, Cisco Secure Workload is known for being user-friendly, with a well-designed UI and GUI, and provides a complete solution. It also receives praise for its stability and helpful technical support. However, it is criticized for its integration, complexity, and controversial changes in data storage.
"The most valuable feature of this solution is security."
"It's stable."
"Scalability is its most valuable feature."
"The solution offers 100% telemetry coverage. The telemetry you collect is not sampled, it's not intermittent. It's complete. You see everything in it, including full visibility of all activities on your endpoints and in your network."
"The product offers great visibility into the network so we can enforce security measures."
"Instead of proving that all the access control lists are in place and all the EPGs are correct, we can just point the auditor to a dashboard and point out that there aren't any escaped conversations. It saves an enormous, enormous amount of time."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that we don't have to do packet captures on the network."
"The product provides multiple-device integration."
"We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist."
"The solution is quite secure."
"The file integrity and log inspection are game-changing features for us."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"Technical support is good."
"It is highly scalable, but there is a limitation that it is only available on Cisco devices."
"I'd like to see better documentation for advanced features. The documentation is fairly basic. I would also like to see better integration with other applications."
"Secure Workload is a little complicated to use, and the dashboard isn't intuitive, so it takes a while to learn how to use it."
"There is some overlap between Cisco Tetration and AppDynamics and I need to have a single pane of glass, rather than have to jump between different tools."
"The interface is really helpful for technical people, but it is not user-friendly."
"The product must be integrated with the cloud."
"They should scale down the hardware a bit. The initial hardware investment is two million dollars so it's a price point problem. The issue with the price comes from the fact that you have to have it with enormous storage and enormous computes."
"It is not so easy to use and configure. It needs a bunch of further resources to work, which is mainly the biggest downside of it. The deployment is huge."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
