Oupa Mpe

Solutions Architect at ECM Business Services

Has system multi-factor authentication abilities but is lacking connection between on-premise and cloud-based solutions

What can be improved is the integration between the on-premise environment, specifically for Linux environments with the cloud infrastructure, such as Microsoft as it was during my time as a solution architect. My customers were looking to authenticate from the on-premise environment directly to Centrify LDAP and authenticate with the Microsoft Azure Active Direct for workloads that are sitting in Microsoft's cloud platform. The central sites are kind of limited in providing this capability. I'd like to see enhancement of the integration between the on-premise environment, both Linux and Windows-based workloads from on-premise integration into the cloud environment integration. The cloud environment needs improvement, specifically the Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google cloud platform environments. If this platform can provide the capability to act as an integration, or API, between an on-premise and cloud-based identity and access management solution, then I see this as a complete solution for identity and access management and solutions.

Advanced server defenses have strengthened threat detection and protected critical infrastructure

From my perspective, predictive analysis is an area for improvement. The rules are very rigid. The way protection works for Trend Micro ServerProtect is that you have to specifically apply specific rules to achieve particular actions or use cases. We have had instances where a malware is dropped and that malware executes, it is detected, but because the malware has been altered a little bit, either in naming or slight behavior changes, the system is not able to stop it. This is unless you harden the rule to say block anything that appears out of place. My thinking as a security expert is that malware will typically behave outside of the normal operation of the organization. Instead of saying malware behavior based on malware behavior, I would say use analytics to identify anything that is outside the normal behavior of files and systems in the course of business operation, then flag it so it can go for further evaluation to identify if it is a malicious file execution or otherwise. Today, there are some instances where legitimate operations occur because of the static rule definition, the agent would flag a normal activity as malicious and then sometimes flag malicious activities as normal. They need to work on that area. There is a lot of competition today. When Trend Micro ServerProtect initially came out, they were premium, so there was not a lot of competition. Competition is dropping their price. Trend Micro ServerProtect should also come down on the pricing to meet competition. Though it is a great solution and an integrated solution, I think they should also meet the market competition. CrowdStrike is there, Palo Alto is there. There are many other competitors, but they need to also look at what is happening. They need to work on it. I would not say that they are overly priced, but I think they can be more competitive, especially with their new credit allocation process.

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 in Centrify is the ability to authenticate in a Linux environment, because this is what my customers were looking for. They are coming from a Linux environment, so they appreciate the identity and access management for allowing Linux workloads to authenticate securely."

"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."

"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."

"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."

"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."

"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."

"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"Able to quarantine any malware."

Cons

"What can be improved in Centrify is the integration between the on-premise environment, specifically for Linux environments with the cloud infrastructure, such as Microsoft as it was during my time as a solution architect."

"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."

"They need to improve in this area by providing more documentation and custom scripts for bulk enterprise deployments."

"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."

"From my perspective, predictive analysis is an area for improvement. Today, there are some instances where legitimate operations occur because of the static rule definition, the agent would flag a normal activity as malicious and then sometimes flag malicious activities as normal."

"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"

"It's more about awareness and maintaining competitive pricing because competition is growing."

"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."

"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
