Improves organizational security with features like scanning, reporting, and troubleshooting
Tenable.io Container Security has improved our security.  The tool's most valuable feature is scanning, reporting, and troubleshooting.  Tenable.io Container Security should improve integration modules. It should also improve stability.  I have been working with the product for two years.  I…

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

"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 tool's most valuable feature is scanning, reporting, and troubleshooting."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, it is a good solution."
"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."
"The strong security provided by the product in the container environment is its most valuable feature."
"The solution shows you the exploitable vulnerabilities and helps you prioritize."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Some of the main features of this solution are it is reliable and can be used in small to large size businesses."
"The most valuable features are web security, email filtering, and content filtering."
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."
"The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you."
"It's scalable."
 

Cons

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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 initial setup is highly complex."
"I believe integration plays a crucial role for Tenable, particularly in terms of connecting with other products and various container solutions like Docker or Kubernetes. It seems that in future updates, enhanced integration is something I would appreciate. Currently, there is integration with Docker, but when it comes to Kubernetes or other container solutions, it appears to be a challenge, especially with on-prem scanners."
"The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled."
"The stability and setup phase of the product are areas with shortcomings where improvements are needed."
"Tenable.io Container Security should improve integration modules. It should also improve stability."
"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."
"What this product lacks at this stage is the ability to have automated workbooks to do the response. At this stage, the response is more manual, and it is not automated. If there is a response functionality in Deep Security, similar to what we have in EDR these days, to automatically respond to some of the threats, it would be cool. So, we'd like to have an automated response. There should be a response functionality."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"Deep Security's reporting functionality could be improved."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"They are still working on the company integration from TippingPoint because this was a recent acquisition from a few years ago. So, a Tipping Point integration with Deep Security, having one single pane of glass dashboard, would provide us a simple use case."
"Trend Micro Deep Security should provide a bundle solution for the customer similar to what Microsoft provides."
"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is neither cheap nor very expensive."
"The product does not operate on a pay-per-license model."
"It's best to be an institutional buyer and directly contact the sales team as they can provide over-the-top discounts for bulk orders."
"I rate the product’s pricing a six out of ten."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"There is a subscription cost to use this product."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
"Some of our customers complain about the cost of this solution."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"I rate the price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is a high price. It is a very costly tool...There are no additional payments to be made other than the normal price of the tool."
"We are an original partner with AWS, so a couple of customers chose to directly take it from AWS Marketplace. A couple of customers will want us to take care of the billing. So, it's a mixed type of reaction that we receive from the customer."
