We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and Cisco ACI based on our users' reviews in six categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security's initial setup can vary in complexity, while Cisco ACI's setup is more time-consuming but easier to manage once deployed. Trend Micro Deep Security offers a wide range of security solutions for data centers, including virtual patching and advanced endpoint security options, whereas Cisco ACI is commended for its simplified configuration and management, and the ability to easily whitelist traffic. Both products are considered to have high pricing. While Trend Micro Deep Security's technical support could use improvement with reported long wait times, Cisco ACI's technical support has received positive reviews.
"ACI's most valuable feature is sizing - you can easily find the sizing of the data, which means the data speed, CPU, and virtualization can be determined."
"The straightforward migration of all of the applications and loop balancing are the two most valuable features. Also, the measurement of their customer-wide sources is very straightforward. It's another dimension of the networks."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the Call Manager."
"Cisco technical support is great."
"Micro-segmentation is the solution’s most valuable feature."
"The stability is quite good."
"Cisco ACI is scalable and easy to expand."
"The security component is its most valuable feature."
"The file integrity and log inspection are game-changing features for us."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"The most valuable feature of the product is vulnerability detection."
"The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."
"We use the solution to detect malicious threats, secure the endpoints, and disable the UFT."
"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
"Automated virtual patching is a good feature."
"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."
"It needs more features for integrating with third-party vendors."
"I would like for ACI to manage all of the devices."
"My complaint about this is: We purchased the ACI gear, but to do monitoring, to do stats, to do telemetry statistics, etc. we have to purchase another product from Cisco."
"The integration has room for improvement. There should be a drag-and-drop interface for configuring the integration where you connect some arrows to boxes, and the system takes care of the configuration. Right now, they have something similar, but it's limited. You have to take care of some things yourself. That is one area that the solution can work on. It's easy now, but it's much easier in other solutions."
"Its graphical user interface (GUI) is not as user-friendly as it could be."
"More how-to videos and instructional information is required."
"Its scalability and reliability capabilities should be enhanced."
"Cisco ACI is a highly complex solution. The initial deployment is just a few clicks, but understanding how an ACI works and interacts with routing, switching, and virtualization takes a lot of knowledge. The interface isn't necessarily hard to use, but the technology is complicated. If you want to understand how it works and how to configure it, you should study hard."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"The solution could use more integration."
