Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.
Durai  Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is expensive, support is poor, and it takes time to understand the product
I have worked with traditional antivirus solutions like Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Sophos, and F-Secure. Broadcom acquired Symantec, and Trellix acquired McAfee. The market is disturbed as other solutions are acquiring the traditional leaders. Getting support is becoming a challenge. Carbon Black provides endpoint detection and response. CrowdStrike provides vulnerability assessment and application testing features. It gives additional threat prevention to the customer. So, I prefer CrowdStrike over Carbon Black. Carbon Black and CrowdStrike provide very good market strategies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
"Trend Micro gave our security teams a certain degree of comfort by just having it in the background, as they have familiarity with the product."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"It serves its purpose and works well."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is a complete solution and all the threat management has been taken care of."
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"We have another piece of that infrastructure that does what they call threat emulation. It's like sandboxing where it takes files that it doesn't know about, puts them in a VM-type environment, and it kicks them off to see if there's any malware or tendencies that might look like malware, that kind of thing."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to be fully integrated with the VMware environment."
"Some of the valuable features I have found are the online documentation of the solution is well organized and thorough. I like the simplicity of bypass and the visualization of the active components."
"​Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks.​"
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"Trend Micro can interact with their consultant to ensure that we receive constant training to understand their platform and how to improve it."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"Pricing is on the expensive side and could be more affordable. The technical support for Trend Micro Deep Security also needs improvement."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation.​"
"This solution could have greater granular control on how certain applications work."
"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"As far as I know, Carbon Defense has nothing that can be installed on mobile devices. It lacks a defense solution for mobile devices, especially mobile tablets. I would like to see support for mobile devices and the pricing should be less than the pricing for a normal workstation."
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."
"There's some disparity between the on-premise and the cloud type of application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"We do pay-as-you-go pricing, which is good for us. We are working with Trend Micro's sales rep to see if we can have something similar for on-premise."
"The pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."
"This is a really expensive product and we pay licensing fees on a yearly basis."
"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."
"The product is expensive. There are some additional costs apart from the standard licensing charges attached to the solution."
"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."
"The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."
"The license is annual. It's a standard license."
"​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
