"I like the sales operations testing. and support.""The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks.""The tool's stability and performance are good.""The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast.""It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network.""The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats.""Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection.""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."

Cons
"The room for improvement with Digital Guardian is that it will be better with the Linux agent because it is the only DLP solution for Linux workstations. It still needs to upgrade the agents to the latest version for the Linux kernel.""When considering potential areas for improvement, it may be beneficial for Digital Guardian to optimize its processes and reduce the computational demands on the system, particularly with regard to high CPU usage. Although Digital Guardian offers numerous benefits, it can consume a substantial amount of RAM and CPU power.""Some features on Mac and Linux are not complete currently. For example, some device control features haven't been transferred over to the other systems. If they could have their Windows features also available on Mac and Linux, that would be perfect. Some of our customers have a Mac environment for their RD environment. Having the solution fully capable of handling everything in a Mac environment is crucial.""Digital Guardian is an excellent solution but our experience with the partner has been the most horrible experience we have ever had with any partner.""There are a lot of issues with the current version of the Endpoint agent. It's not stable, it's resource-consuming, and there are some performance issues. If they could improve the stability of the agent it would be great.""The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions.""It would be helpful if there was an on-premise version of the solution for companies that cannot use the cloud, such as government sectors.""I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."

More Digital Guardian Cons →

"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings.""The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure.""The solution could be more secure.""The tool's configuration can be made easier.""The scalability is sometimes limited.""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.""Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Digital Guardian has both, subscription and perpetual licenses, but I think when everything (all technologies) will go to the cloud they will only offer subscriptions."
  • "If I compare Digital Guardian with Symantec, the license cost is lower, but McAfee can be cheaper than Digital Guardian. It depends on how many licenses you plan to buy and how big the project is. The cost is not so high as Symantec, but not as cheap as McAfee. They can easily sell the solution for price."
  • "The price of Digital Guardian is expensive."
  • "The cost was around $300,000."
  • "The price of Digital Guardian is on the higher end compared to other vendors."
  • "I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten because Digital Guardian is expensive."

  • "The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."
  • "The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
  • "Its price is fine, but Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. It is a hardware solution. It is based on the number of nodes, and according to the number of nodes, clients decide which box they should acquire. They have to renew their license every year. It is subscription-based."
  • "The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
  • "The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
