Comprehensive vulnerability management improves security assessments
The platform scans the entire environment and IP range, providing comprehensive vulnerability reports along with solutions to address these vulnerabilities. Its features are extensive and it produces proper results, although there may be occasional false positives. It also categorizes risks based on severity, though further evaluation is necessary for our specific environment.
Nadeem Syed - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers sandboxing unit and virtual patch management, stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits
It's a good product. It's taken the majority of the market share in Pakistan from any other product; the major feature of Deep Security is its virtual patching management, which they download on the cloud. They stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits as long as you don't download all the updates and install them physically on the servers. So, in that sense, it is a very good product. And we've been selling it for a long time; it's been four to five years. And we have a lot of customers for it. Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers. Also, if users truly want to secure their network and the servers, they may want to use XDR as well, which has all these features we just discussed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qualys offers versatility. It can function both with and without agents, offering flexibility in deployment. Furthermore, it provides comprehensive support for various systems such as Windows Server, Unix servers, and databases, including SQL, Oracle, and others for development."
"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is considered a good leader in its field."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is a complete solution and all the threat management has been taken care of."
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"The most valuable features are web security, email filtering, and content filtering."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Support in Trend Micro Deep Security is very good. They have very professional engineers, and they often respond effectively. We are satisfied."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
 

Cons

"The report sometimes inaccurately identifies the corresponding operating system version."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"We have had some issues when it drains some of the resources of the server."
"The situation with the currency in Turkey makes this solution a little bit on the expensive side, and if it were lowered then it would be more competitive."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"Our company faced issues syncing the active directory accounts"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"CrowdStrike had an advantage over Trend Micro when it came to pricing. Trend Micro had several modules, so it was a little priced up, but CrowdStrike was not. However, even CrowdStrike has increased their price now, so probably both of them are on par, but the number of modules that Trend Micro has is far more than CrowdStrike. It comes with file integrity monitoring, application control, and web reputation. It has outbound URL protection, and it also has ransomware protection for servers, whereas CrowdStrike Falcon is a straightforward solution."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"Some of our customers complain about the cost of this solution."
