Detailed container image reports have improved vulnerability insight and support secure operations
Most valuable are the reports that are quite good, particularly the detailed ones for container image scanning. Tenable.io Container Security is giving me the vulnerability information of Docker images and the information about software bill of materials. However, my challenge at this time is that I am using all these solutions with GitLab Ultimate, and it does not support integration, so I am doing some alternate arrangements which are giving me operational complexity because I need to introduce something else instead of GitLab Ultimate. That is the primary concern regarding the benefits of real-time visibility into my containerized application security status.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Currently, I haven't implemented the solution due to its deprecation by the site. However, I can highlight some benefits of Tenable Cloud Security, a cybersecurity solution with various features for scanning vulnerabilities in both cloud environments and on-premises container security."
"The strong security provided by the product in the container environment is its most valuable feature."
"The strong security provided by the product in the container environment is its most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, it is a good solution."
"Nessus scanner is very effective for internal penetration testing."
"It helps us secure our applications from the build phase and identify the weaknesses from scratch."
"The tool's most valuable feature is scanning, reporting, and troubleshooting."
"Tenable.io detects misconfiguration when you deploy a Docker or Kubernetes container. It's much better to remedy these issues during deployment instead of waiting until the container is already in the production environment."
"It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides."
"Deep Security has given us strong protection and configuration of our endpoint security and enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature."
"The solution has a low footprint and does not have a lot of impact on the host."
"It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion."
"If you need a versatile solution that covers many different needs or requirements, Trend Micro Deep Security is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the direct link to AWS to tell me if a new instance created is unprotected."
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"Trend Micro Deep Security's best features include the IPS module, which stands out because it is not just an AV product but operates as the latest AV or EDR product, provides details, and handles patches related to vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"They need to work on auto-remediation so it's easier for the security team to act quickly when certain assets or resources are deployed. The latest version has a CIS benchmark that you need to meet for containers in the cloud, but more automation is needed."
"The stability and setup phase of the product are areas with shortcomings where improvements are needed."
"I feel that in certain areas this product has false positives which the company should work on. They should also try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing. Finally, the vulnerability assessment feature should be increased to other hardware devices, apart from firewalls."
"The initial setup is highly complex."
"The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The initial setup is highly complex."
"The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"Post-implementation is time-consuming. You have to do monitoring, and that takes time. After you set up everything, it's not a full-fledged implementation. You have to keep on monitoring and configuring."
"It would help if they would reduce the price."
"What this product lacks at this stage is the ability to have automated workbooks to do the response."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"I would rate them very poorly because they completely missed the compatibility with vSphere issue."
"The product isn't very user-friendly."
"It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products."

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."

"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
