We performed a comparison between Cisco IOS Security and Trellix Intrusion Prevention System 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."Cisco IOS Security is a mature product with extensive capabilities, serving as the base for the defense layer. It offers good network visibility, which helps in rapid response through the Rapid Threat Containment feature. Its deployment and configuration are straightforward."
"We use Cisco IOS Security mostly for routers to route off the firewall. It's a next-generation device."
"Cisco IOS Security is very robust and works very well."
"The product's stability is good."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability. The nice thing with the bigger vendors is that they're very good at scale."
"The product has valuable features for business intelligence."
"The technical support is good."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is its flexibility and it performs great."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a good product for dealing with DDoS attacks and for the inspection of network traffic."
"There's a good dashboard you can drill down into. It helps you easily locate intrusions and the source of attacks."
"Overall the solution is very good. It offers great protection and gives us a good overview of what is on the network."
"The solution can scale."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"The feature I found most valuable is the network threat analyzer in the security platform. It also integrates with GTI, or Global Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I just use the basic features."
"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."
"The configuration and reporting interfaces need a lot of improvement. It needs to be more accessible forsolide without a strong technical background. If you had a simplified dashboard, the lower-level techs could manage the solution and provide services. Cisco IOS Security requires someone who is highly trained to operate it."
"We cannot directly upgrade the system. The tool's deployment is also very difficult in legacy environments. The tool needs to have bigger ports as well."
"If they could increase the performance a little better because the device sometimes gets slow."
"Cisco very slowly introduces and implements the products, unlike other brands."
"I wish it would be more like the next generation firewall technology. There should be more selection between the application and filtering."
"Cisco is an expensive firewall, so the pricing can be improved."
"There's a technology called SD-WAN that we would like to see. We are unable to handle multiple connections or to automatically load balance. I would like to have a feature that enables us to automatically prepare for load balancing."
"In the security portfolio from Cisco, the issue is marketing. Cisco is still seen primarily as an enterprise network player rather than being acknowledged as a security vendor."
"The management component could be simplified."
"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The area of concern where the tool needs improvement is how the product prompts users at a network level that helps prevent any wireless network attacks through alerts and notifications."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"The solution could improve some aspects of detection."
"The management console needs to be less complex and easier to navigate."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
