Featured Reviews

Juan Solano - PeerSpot reviewer
Protects against threats and handles it in time with moderate pricing
Mostly, Lumu is an automatic tool. We'll deploy on firewalls and DNS servers. Lumu detects every attack on our network. The other day, we had CLC, the command controller, and the tool reacted automatically. It detected the attack and immediately blocked it without intervention from my team. The improvement is in the security process, as it's now entirely automated. We no longer require a technician or engineer to monitor our network 24/7. Lumu updates with AI and global threat intelligence, which greatly assists us. Since our workload is lighter, Lumu handles all of our tasks. We're using FortiGate for the firewall and Kaspersky for endpoints. If you are going to Lumu, you need another solution for the endpoint. You need to integrate with other tools like firewalls or another antivirus. I recommend the solution based on the price, usability, and service offered by the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Vladimir Alexandrov - PeerSpot reviewer
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clients can identify forgotten or unmanaged network segments, thereby mitigating unexpected network actions such as outdated antivirus software operations.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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most of it is automated, so I do not have to watch it to get alerts."
"I like Lumu's simple user interface. When we deployed it, we got full access, allowing us to identify IP addresses on the network and connect machine names to users. It helped us identify and block threats via the firewall. I also appreciate the chat support and ticket closure process. We're currently reviewing network detection solutions, and my recommendations include Lumu, Sentinel, and a few others. Regarding functionality and user-friendliness, I would recommend Lumu over the others."
"It's been helpful for overall extended network visibility."
"The context provided by the tool is very complete, it includes the miter matrix, playbooks, links, hashes, and much more."
"Lumu protects against threats immediately and handles them in time."
"The tool's support team helps partners resolve any problems with the product."
"You can access external links, playbooks, MITRE Matrix, and a lot of information."
"The product is very easy to install."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"The performance and stability are great."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
 

Cons

"The reports need improvement."
"It would be good if we could access the physical logs."
"Nothing so far needs to be improved."
"The integration with different vendors and endpoints could be improved."
"Lumu's ability to discover threats is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"I am happy with the current features. However, one important one is to improve the reports."
"The free version is minimal compared to the full version."
"The price range is a little high."
"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."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
"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."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"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 main issue is its high cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is the cheapest solution we found."
"Compared to Lumu, other solutions are more expensive. SentinelOne was a bit cheaper, and another provider's price structure is unclear, but Lumu fit our budget nicely. SentinelOne's cost depends on the number of devices, and it might be similar to Lumu's, depending on deployment."
"The tool is available at a good price. The tool offers a good and competitive price for customers."
"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."
"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."
"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."
"Overall, the price is good."
"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
"Compared to its competitors, Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a little expensive."
