We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Trend Micro Deep Discovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Defender works in the background monitoring the traffic for viruses."
"We are a Microsoft shop, and Defender is a Microsoft solution that provides some security at a reasonable cost."
"The fact that it's from Microsoft, you don't have many false positives, unlike products from other vendors might have."
"I like the process visibility. This ability to visualize how something was executed is valuable, and the fact that Defender ATP is also linked to the threat intelligence that they have is also valuable. So, even if you have something that doesn't have a conventional signature, the fact that you get this strange execution means that you can detect things that are normally not visible."
"The solution's latest features for threat analysis are updated to provide us with future protection against the latest threats worldwide."
"It's a very complete application. I have all the controls in one site. I can track emails, attacks, and threats, and I can research information. I really like this configuration because I have all the information in place."
"Technical support is good."
"It is a straightforward setup."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"We'd like the stability to be better."
"It is not very scalable from the eyes of an MSP because there is no dashboard that you can use to see all of your devices that have Windows Defender unless you have your own dashboard or an RMM tool to actually look at it. So, you might not get to know that a particular computer of a client is doing something, and it might have got a virus. That person might know that, but unless you set it up to actually send you the information, you won't get to know that. That's one of the things that is hard with Microsoft Defender. It is not made for the MSP world where you have one pane of glass to see all of your clients with Microsoft Defender on it unless your RMM tool already has that built-in and it can see the telemetry from Microsoft Defender."
"I would like to see improvements made to how it secures activities on web pages."
"It needs to improve the cybersecurity for lateral movements. For example, when a hacker tries to enter a machine, they try to get the password by doing a lateral movement."
"This solution needs to move beyond relying on virus definitions alone and protect the system using behavioral analysis of the processes that are running."
"Alerts need to be sent immediately because as it is now, you see some of them without delay and others arrive perhaps 30 minutes later, and it leaves important gaps in terms of information gathering."
"It's not quite a mature solution just yet. It needs more time to grow and develop."
"It can be more secure."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"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."
"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 could be more stable and offer more security."
