Has enabled efficient internal network scanning and provides detailed vulnerability insights
One thing which I really want Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform to improve is the UI. While it might not be the case for everyone and it's subjective, in my team, most people agree on that part. The UI should be more user-friendly. If you have uploaded a file containing many IP addresses, you don't have a straightforward option to check what the IP addresses were. If we want to search an IP address from the list, we need to check it one by one. Also, when we download something, the feature should be upfront. When we get the result of the scan, it should be 'download this file'. In many scanners, when you go to the download option, you get the options for particular formats immediately. However, in this case, when you click on download, it loads another page before giving you the output options for PDF or CSV. This feature should be upfront.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Cons

"Compared to Microsoft, there were already advanced tools, so I had seen some drawbacks compared to licensing or technical side."
"Once we supplied 130 URLs to it for scanning one by one, and it crashed in between. We did not have any clue what happened, so we had to reach out to support."
"Trend Micro Deep Security can be improved in areas such as policy tuning, which takes time in a complex environment, along with slightly high pricing for smaller deployments, especially for SMBs, and the help documentation on their website can be simplified for new users to easily understand solutions to their issues, as I have observed that they can sometimes feel confused."
"Their automation needs improvement."
"The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support."

"Deep Security's reporting functionality could be improved."
