Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"You can scale the solution to different versions."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is a complete solution and all the threat management has been taken care of."
"Some of the main features of this solution are it is reliable and can be used in small to large size businesses."
"Virtual patching is a wonderful feature where we do a recommendation scan and an internal assessment on the server, and it updates the IPS signatures to block any attack. I have seen instances where it has prevented attacks on the end-of-support servers such as 2018 R2, and many years ago, even 2007 servers that were end-of-support. It certainly helped there."
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers."
 

Cons

"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The stability could be improved."
"It is hard to manage."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"Post-implementation is time-consuming. You have to do monitoring, and that takes time. After you set up everything, it's not a full-fledged implementation. You have to keep on monitoring and configuring."
"Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used."
"The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"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."
"Their automation needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"CrowdStrike had an advantage over Trend Micro when it came to pricing. Trend Micro had several modules, so it was a little priced up, but CrowdStrike was not. However, even CrowdStrike has increased their price now, so probably both of them are on par, but the number of modules that Trend Micro has is far more than CrowdStrike. It comes with file integrity monitoring, application control, and web reputation. It has outbound URL protection, and it also has ransomware protection for servers, whereas CrowdStrike Falcon is a straightforward solution."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
