We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and VMware NSX based on our users' reviews in six parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security is commended for its extensive range of security features and effective data center solutions. However, users have expressed concerns regarding its complexity, limited integration, pricing, and technical support. On the other hand, VMware NSX is highly valued for its control over virtual switches, micro-segmentation, and user-friendly management platform. However, there are areas for improvement, such as licensing clarity, hypervisor support, and support for implementation.
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the virtual path function, which is the reason we chose to implement it."
"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."
"DLP, Data Loss Prevention, and the complexity of how we manage the console and how this client, or this tool, will notify us when there is something going wrong within the server and endpoint, is good."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
"It serves its purpose and works well."
"The traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing."
"During our experience, the solution has been stable."
"The security offered by VMware NSX is the most valuable, plus it's a feature-rich product that's straightforward to install and configure."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the DFW (distributed firewall)"
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the load balancing and routing of firewall rules. Many of the features are beneficial."
"The ability to scale from different clouds. At the moment, the scalability of the product is the number one thing that I saw."
"The micro-segmentation and the ability to create policy rules are valuable."
"We are happy with the scalability."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"Their support should be improved. We need support in the UAE, but it is always going to some other country or region, and the time schedule is not suitable for us."
"Trend Micro is not government certified or federal complaint. If they could become compliant/certified, this would make it easier for us to use it for our government projects."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"Installation and operations may have issues on some machines owing to their configuration of the network cards as the product is a DPI driver."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
"They need to enhance their technical support."
"The support from VMware NSX could improve."
"Traffic flow introspection topology visibility is definitely needed because at the moment, NSX-T lacks in this area."
"Just being more knowledgeable about the different functions."
"The solution is complex but for the key user, it's not really complex. You just need to learn the standards and mechanics for your specific product."
"We have been satisfied with the technical support. They were able to solve our problems. However, they could be faster."
"It still needs to grow. There are still some features that it doesn't do, like it doesn't do multicasting."
"If you're worried that NSX is too complex, I would tell you to take another look. If you compare NSX to a similar solution you might find it to be a bit more complex. Usually, the guy that comes in to implement NSX isn't the network guy and will lack the knowledge for the program. He can lack the knowledge for this program and will therefore think it's complex. You need somebody with network experience."
