Enhanced threat detection through superior sandboxing capabilities with competitive pricing
With Trend Micro Deep Discovery, our enterprise clients can identify forgotten or unmanaged network segments, thereby mitigating unexpected network actions such as outdated antivirus software operations. When under attack, such as with ransomware, it allows us to identify the attack vector and disable it. It also assists in security audits required to prove certain network security measures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"The solution has extension-based features that help it to analyze the environment. The environment can have different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool will give a report which can confirm the analysis of the issues. You can also get clear information on threats or suspicious files."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"The reporting is very good, providing detailed analysis in a short amount of time."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
 

Cons

"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"The price range is a little high."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."

"Compared to its competitors, Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a little expensive."
"Its price is fine, but Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. It is a hardware solution. It is based on the number of nodes, and according to the number of nodes, clients decide which box they should acquire. They have to renew their license every year. It is subscription-based."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
