We performed a comparison between KerioControl and Trend Micro Deep Discovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."I like intrusion detection and prevention and bandwidth management. The routing part is also awesome. It is a good firewall. We never had a major breach from outside. We've never been impacted by ransomware, and our systems have never been infiltrated."
"What I like the most about Kerio is that I can use the software appliance as a solution, so if the hardware fails for any reason then I can quickly replace it with hardware that I have in stock."
"The firewall and the content filtering options are valuable."
"It has saved a lot of time and it was a secure way of doing it too. We had a whole contact center that worked from home for a period of time and that's a 21 hour a day contact center that we moved, that was spread out across the greater Brisbane region and working on home internet connections. Surprisingly, we didn't have a lot of stability issues anyway on those connections, but Kerio didn't blink, so that was good."
"Its support is very good, and it is stable product."
"I did not face any issues with stability while using the tool's trial version."
"The most valuable feature is the reliability of VPN capabilities. The VPN has been very reliable and secure. The security has been very good and the VPN connections are reliable in that they stay up. We don't have a lot of problems with downtime and that type of thing."
"Kerio Control can be scaled easily."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"Kerio Control could improve content filtering."
"One of the problems we do have causes problems with the VPN. The software slows the throughput down too much. You could have a one-gigabit connection from the internet, and it slows it down to the area of upload and download is extremely slow. There's too much content filtering at that point."
"The Kerio hardware devices look cheap and could be improved. Some of our clients are switching to Sophos because their hardware has a more sleek design."
"Kerio Control could improve by having higher availability and adding a mobile VPN channel. These additions are needed. The VPN is working fine on the Kerio Control but there needs to be a VPN client on the mobile phones, both for iOS and Android. This would be very good for us."
"I can no longer renew my subscription directly with GFI but we have to go through third-party resellers like CDW. The first time I did it with CDW. I went to CDW and it was almost like they didn't even know anything. They didn't know what package I was supposed to get. Then after I got it, it took almost five days to get everything working."
"I would like to be able to inspect https packets for the purpose of virus scanning."
"The improvement that we are looking for is for when decide to move some part of our application to the cloud."
"They should improve the remote connectivity feature for users."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"The product's security features need enhancement."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
