Trend Micro Deep Security Pros and Cons

For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done.

The most valuable feature is the virtual patching.

The most valuable features are web security, email filtering, and content filtering.

Trend Micro gave our security teams a certain degree of comfort by just having it in the background, as they have familiarity with the product.

There is a degree of set it and forget it in regards to the actual endpoints and what you can do with the console, which is nice.

The file integrity and log inspection are game-changing features for us.

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.

It provides a comprehensive feature set and a strong security baseline for us with integrations into other security tools.

The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all.

It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides.

It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions.

It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products. This should be in the road map because we have a lot of SaaS-based appliances which are not connected with each other.

When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration.

The support for email protection can be improved.

AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro.

If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus.

They are still working on the company integration from TippingPoint because this was a recent acquisition from a few years ago. So, a Tipping Point integration with Deep Security, having one single pane of glass dashboard, would provide us a simple use case.

I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware.

The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging.

The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary.

Trend Micro is not government certified or federal complaint. If they could become compliant/certified, this would make it easier for us to use it for our government projects.
