Enhanced threat detection through superior sandboxing capabilities with competitive pricing
With Trend Micro Deep Discovery, our enterprise clients can identify forgotten or unmanaged network segments, thereby mitigating unexpected network actions such as outdated antivirus software operations. When under attack, such as with ransomware, it allows us to identify the attack vector and disable it. It also assists in security audits required to prove certain network security measures.

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

Pros

"The dashboards are very informative compared to other solutions like Cisco, providing valuable insights into network threats."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."

"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"The product is very easy to install."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in third-party integrations, particularly with other vendors like Check Point and Palo Alto."
"I would like to see the inclusion of sandboxing in the bundling. Currently, sandbox is not included in our package."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"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."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"The tool's configuration can be made easier."
