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clients can identify forgotten or unmanaged network segments, thereby mitigating unexpected network actions such as outdated antivirus software operations.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.

"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."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"Sandboxing gives us a chance to identify malicious behavior, especially for unknown vulnerabilities, although it's rarely needed as a last resort after all other security measures have failed."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"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."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"The technical support needs improvement."
