We performed a comparison between Symantec Data Center Security and Trend Micro Deep Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud and Data Center Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection."
"The ability to finely control permissions and restrictions on servers or assets through a customizable rule set is a key strength."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console, which can handle different products that we have."
"The tool will then detect any anomalies, such as an intruder who has breached the network, which can trigger the system lockdown feature if it's enabled and meets the defined threshold."
"The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system."
"The granularity of applying the policies is valuable."
"We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security."
"The console and tools are very user-friendly."
"We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist."
"The solution has a low footprint and does not have a lot of impact on the host."
"You can scale the solution to different versions."
"The integration options of Trend Micro Deep Security have been particularly valuable."
"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
"Very user-friendly interface, easy to understand."
"Adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus."
"Agent management is a challenging task."
"They need to develop a more flexible product that can be scaled such that it fits well into a small business or a bigger, enterprise-level solution."
"A user or administrator making the policy in the DCS should have a very thorough knowledge of the operating system or policy making. You have to be very specific about the data structure."
"This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine."
"The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."
"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily."
"Could have better reporting capabilities and better support."
"It would be better if they merge a few features into one product. For example, they have an encryption feature that is separately sold. If they could merge it with Apex One or any endpoint security solution, maybe it would also be good for the end user."
"We have had some issues when it drains some of the resources of the server."
"Their automation needs improvement."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
