Room For Improvement

Trend Micro Deep Discovery faces challenges with integration, scalability, support, pricing, and requires improvements in usability and network capabilities.

Setup Cost

Trend Micro Deep Discovery [EOL] pricing is annual, node-based, varies by requirements, and opinions differ on its competitiveness.

SOC Analyst at Valorant
In my experience, the best features Red Canary offers are their team, their monitoring team, their expertise at incident investigation, and a focus on suspicious or actual indicators of compromise to ensure that we're not spending time just reviewing logs, but that we're actually looking at things that may indicate we have broader issues.

Timothy Kugonza - PeerSpot reviewer
Api Integration Engineer at Stanbic Bank Uganda
Automated monitoring has reduced alert fatigue and provides rapid context for endpoint threats
The best features that Red Canary offers is the attack timeline. For example, if a suspicious file is opened, we can follow what happened after that, what process started it, and what other activity followed, and whether the machine made unusual connections. We can see those events, which makes investigations much easier. I also appreciate the 24/7 monitoring. We don't have to depend completely on our team or me being available. If something suspicious happens outside our working hours, Red Canary can investigate it and escalate it to us when action is needed. The feature I had forgotten to mention, and we use it mostly, is the threat detection. When Red Canary sees something unusual, it doesn't give us just an alert. It gives us more information about what happened and activity around it. The biggest impact that Red Canary has had for us positively is reducing the amount of time I and our team spend investigating security alerts. When we were using traditional antivirus tools, we could spend a lot of time collecting logs and checking different tools just to understand whether an alert was actually malicious or not serious. With Red Canary, we can get the investigation context and timeline much earlier. For example, for a normal endpoint alert that could take us sixty minutes or one hour to investigate, it can be understood within less than five minutes.

Has improved email security through advanced filtration and timely threat detection
I work with Trend Micro Apex One. I have used the Deep Discovery's Sandbox analysis feature, and we utilize another appliance known as Deep Discovery Analyzer, abbreviated as DDA. This tool makes analysis for URLs and attachments contained in inbound emails, so whenever we receive an email with a URL or attachment, it will be analyzed by Trend Micro Deep Discovery Analyzer. In evaluating Deep Discovery's real-time visibility on network traffic, it is important to note that we applied our Deep Discovery Analyzer for Trend Micro to conduct sandboxing specifically for email channels only, and we do not utilize it for network channels. For network channel sandboxing, we use a solution called FortiAnalyzer, which belongs to another team called network security. I assess Deep Discovery's effectiveness in identifying sophisticated attack patterns by looking at how it handles high traffic loads, and how effectively it can use its instances and images to analyze numerous URLs and attachments simultaneously. Additionally, I evaluate its ability to maintain round-robin or load balancing across different analyses without leaving samples queued for analysis. The performance is critical when the product updates for signatures are up-to-date, as this aids in the detection and classification of URLs and attachments without delay in the analysis process. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Trend Micro Deep Discovery a nine.
