Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The firewall and the content filtering options are valuable.""We also like the security. We can control what sites users can go to and we can make sure that where they're going is appropriate and that it's work-related.""The solution is user-friendly.""Compared to other solutions, accounting and live monitoring of firewall status are very good features in KerioControl.""The interface control manager where we can allocate LAN connections to certain VLANs is the most valuable feature. The other feature that's important for us is because obviously everything is remote with MyKerio, as long as the boat has an internet connection, we can log onto the Kerio and get statistics, as well as provide support.""The user interface and the ease of use are pretty good. Everything fits together so nicely.""I like intrusion detection and prevention and bandwidth management. The routing part is also awesome. It is a good firewall. We never had a major breach from outside. We've never been impacted by ransomware, and our systems have never been infiltrated.""The most valuable feature is the reliability of VPN capabilities. The VPN has been very reliable and secure. The security has been very good and the VPN connections are reliable in that they stay up. We don't have a lot of problems with downtime and that type of thing."

Cons
"Kerio Control has just improved on their biggest problem, which was to introduce better support for high-availability requirements in production.""The Kerio hardware devices look cheap and could be improved. Some of our clients are switching to Sophos because their hardware has a more sleek design.""The trial duration of the product should be extended.""The one thing that did put me off of the solution was that, after they were taken over by GFI, the licensing and a few other items have gotten very complicated.""I would like to be able to inspect https packets for the purpose of virus scanning.""The denial of service could also be improved. There recently was a big issue with denial of service attacks and it was a bit laborious.""The solution should offer more dashboards.""My experience with the solutions technical support is fine but they could be faster in responding."

More KerioControl Cons →

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell.""Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active.""There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery.""I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible.""The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure.""This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices.""The solution could be more stable and offer more security.""Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Here is some feedback from some of our users who are currently using the solution:

    PeerSpot user Brian C., Senior Technology Specialist, VP at Unified Technology Solutions, writes "It is very comprehensive and simple. It has all the active protections. It's updated. We love that you can set how often it is updated so you can work on what is right for you. A large company with a lot of bandwidth can update the virus definitions and security definitions hourly, if they want. A smaller site that's remote, where maybe updating the definitions will eat into the bandwidth, we can schedule those more to go later at night. It's very flexible and works for us in all types of situations. This is great because then we don't have to learn seven different products to be able to work with seven different scenarios."

    Andy D., IT Manager at Flare Technologies, praises how easy it is to use and says, "One thing we use quite a lot, as well, is the DHCP Server, because we do a lot of work where all our devices need to have static IP addresses. Rather than going around and configuring every box, we do it all through DHCP reservations. It's easier. We've got a record of it. We can manipulate it if we need to change something or change some hardware. It's all easy. Even guys who are not used to using it can pick it up quite quickly."



    Deep Discovery is available as a physical or virtual network appliance. It’s designed to quickly detect advanced malware that typically bypasses traditional security defenses and exfiltrates sensitive data. Specialized detection engines and custom sandbox analysis detect and prevent breaches.
