Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is blocklisting. It's good at what I like to describe as the "silly side cases." We have this annoying security architecture that says we must do this, that, and the other, so we try to make it easier on ourselves.""When it comes to helping to detect DNS threats, BloxOne is good on all fronts. The number of false positives is very low, close to none. More than once it has detected new names or lookalike names and protected us and saved us from bad characters.""Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense furthers the existing security posture rather than replacing or trying to replace any existing products.""With the model we have, we are able to scale very easily if we need to.""The automatic blocklists are most valuable. A box can maintain several lists from which we can choose if we need to block more or less. We don't have to manually manage the lists ourselves. They're automatically updated.""The most important features for us are preventing DDOS DNS attacks.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the granularity for which you can categorize what you want to block versus what you don't want to block.""The reporting ability is helpful. It allows us to control what our users are able to resolve, and then be able to see reports on that."

"The most valuable feature is machine learning, which automatically monitors the activity on the machine.""The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Web Security stems from the fact that it is neither a cheap nor an expensive tool.""The solution's scalability is good and we have more than 90 users for it.""The solution's technical support team is responsive.""The solution is stable.""It's a very stable solution.""It's a stable solution.""Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."

Cons
"The documentation needs to be improved because there are a lot of different models that it can be deployed in, and it's somewhat confusing determining what you need and how to set it up to best cover your use cases.""The setup was horrible. About a year ago, Infoblox made us re-enroll all our on-prem DNS servers by a set date to a specific version, or it would stop working. I told my colleague, "Oh, here, we have to upgrade the servers and reconnect them to the CSP." That did not go well at all.""The initial setup is not a simple "click-click-next" installation. It requires some level of experience .""The research side and the reporting side need improvement. Both of those are items on the menu. They could use a little bit of cleanup to make their respective information more easily understood.""This is not just Infoblox, this could be any portal provider, cloud provider, sometimes they change the look of the customer-facing options and it's not completely clear why they make the change.""Endpoint solutions need to improved.""The onboarding is a little rough at times, and you need to have some information at hand. It is pretty good, but it would be useful to have a few good examples to set up things like data exfiltration.""They could work on the UI of their website and make their website more user-friendly."

More Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense Cons →

"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution's scalability could be better.""There are multiple ways Web Security could improve, such as usability and web access to several programming modes.""Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer.""The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed.""This solution has a lot of restrictions on what non-administrator users can do, including generating comparative code. We would like to see this changed as the product is developed.""The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."

Operating at the DNS level, BloxOne Threat Defense uncovers threats that other solutions do not and stops attacks earlier in the threat lifecycle.

    Trend Micro Web Security is a cloud-based web security gateway which enables users to focus on strategic security, such as policy and architecture. It provides users with forward-looking threat protection on web threats, URL filtering, and application control. It features cloud app access control, flexible deployment, and a single console that provides advanced security against online threats. Trend Micro Web Security shields your users from cyber threats by employing cross-generational defense methods to detect known and unknown threats. This provides visibility and access control for each of your users on unauthorized cloud applications.

    The solution’s innovative deployment strategy allows you to deploy gateways on premises, in the cloud, or both, ensuring that your users are protected no matter where they are. A single cloud-based administration panel streamlines your workload by allowing you to define policies, manage users, and access reporting all from one place.

    Trend Micro Web Security Features

    Trend Micro Web Security has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • Gateway HTTPS decryption and anti-malware:  Prevents malware from entering your network, relieving endpoint security of the responsibility.
    • Correlated threat data and web reputation: Trend Micro Smart Protection Network web reputation technology prevents access to malicious websites.
    • Filtering and categorization of URLs: Identifies inappropriate or harmful sites using real-time URL classification and reputation. Blocks access to spyware and phishing-related websites and prevents drive-by downloads.
    • Predictive machine learning and cloud sandboxing: In a secure Trend Micro-hosted sandbox environment, cloud sandboxing allows automatic in-depth simulation and analysis of potentially dangerous attachments, including executables and typical office documents.

    • Flexibility in deployment to meet your needs: This unique deployment strategy gives you the option of deploying the product on premises, in the cloud, or a combination of both.

    • Centralized management console with a single interface: You can manage and monitor web usage in real time using a single cloud-based management panel.
