Bart Coddens - PeerSpot reviewer
Evolved cloud security with active monitoring but needs interface consistency
The user interface needs work. Sometimes, it is a transition from the old tool to the new CNAPP Two that I currently have, and remnants of the old environment can still be detected. I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel. More work is needed in fine-tuning the threat data towards your CSPM and activity logs, aligning them with business intelligence, which requires a cohesive console interface. My assessment of CloudGuard CDRs in intrusion detection and threat hunting capabilities is that it still needs some work. All the threat data that comes in, you need to fine tune it a bit.
Nikhilesh Verma - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a good firewall that blocks unwanted ports
In our company's infrastructure, we have not faced any challenges with the product. Considering the lack of issues or challenges faced with the use of the product in our company's environment, I feel that it is a good solution. Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement. If Trend Micro Deep Security wants to implement some new features in it, then I would say that it should focus from a networking point of view and see how to control network traffic specifically coming from external to internal traffic on the servers.
