We performed a comparison between Cisco IOS Security and Trend Micro Deep Discovery 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."The most valuable feature is the scalability. The nice thing with the bigger vendors is that they're very good at scale."
"The VPN connection portal scan works flawlessly, which was a big plus for us."
"It covers everything we need it to without looking to secondary solutions."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"The capabilities for scalability with this product are huge"
"Cisco products are very secure and integrate easily with other devices."
"One of the main features is that the hardware is extremely reliable."
"The hardware is pretty stable. It's also a very good product performance-wise. Initially, it wasn't mature like a firewall and there were other leaders, but now they have included almost all the features of next-generation security. Basically, it's a good product to work with."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see support for the 100BT and 7000 models."
"Cisco IOS Security's monitoring is rather rudimentary and could be improved."
"We need to pay for the license and it is expensive."
"The initial setup is complicated."
"We have a very bad experience on the support. They take too much time requesting logs, and they are not coming directly online to resolve the issues."
"The configuration should be easier in the solution."
"It takes too much time to deploy a policy to FMC. It takes around eight minutes. You can't afford any downtime when you're changing policies."
"I think setup could be one area for improvement, because sometimes we don't have people inside so we have to move to the place."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
