Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"The solution has a low footprint and does not have a lot of impact on the host."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"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."
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
"We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist."
"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
"The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you."
 

Cons

"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"The situation with the currency in Turkey makes this solution a little bit on the expensive side, and if it were lowered then it would be more competitive."
"The problem with this solution is that if you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the cost."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"We are an original partner with AWS, so a couple of customers chose to directly take it from AWS Marketplace. A couple of customers will want us to take care of the billing. So, it's a mixed type of reaction that we receive from the customer."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"I rate the price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is a high price. It is a very costly tool...There are no additional payments to be made other than the normal price of the tool."
