Makes the server run very smoothly and without any security flaws
Pros and Cons
  • "One of the most valuable features is that it's a firewall-based solution. We just open the required reports to the server—to server communication—and that's how we use Deep Security."
  • "Our primary use case of Deep Security is running our server smoothly and without any security flaws."
  • "Deep Security's reporting functionality could be improved."
  • "The technical support could be better. Whenever an issue is raised, we need to wait for a long time for technical support to resolve it."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case of Deep Security is running our server smoothly and without any security flaws. The server-level layers have more functionality when compared to desktop-level layers, so Deep Security captures and fulfills all of that functionality and runs smoothly. At the end of the day, Deep Security is also getting the zero-day vulnerabilities from our on-premise and other solutions. 

This solution is deployed on-premise, and we are using the latest version. 

What is most valuable?

One of the most valuable features is that it's a firewall-based solution. We just open the required reports to the server—to server communication—and that's how we use Deep Security. 

What needs improvement?

Deep Security's reporting functionality could be improved. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Deep Security for more than three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Deep Security is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is scalable, but you need to procure licenses for each server. 

We have around 50 users of Deep Security in our organization. Whether we will increase usage depends on our business requirements. If our business needs more servers, then we will procure more servers and more Deep Security licenses. 

How are customer service and support?

The technical support could be better. Whenever an issue is raised, we need to wait for a long time for technical support to resolve it. Our only issue is that the support could be faster. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before implementing Deep Security, we used Trend Micro OfficeScan alone. 

How was the initial setup?

Deep Security is very easy to install. Installation didn't take much time, but after installing the center console, we needed to apply some kinds of policies, for which we needed some experience. It took some time to decide which policies we needed to apply and which rules we didn't want to apply, and for those things, we needed help from more experienced people—either Trend Micro support or their authorized partner's support. You can handle the installation on your own, with the help of some technical team. The implementation is not a very long-term process. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is okay. Deep Security is single-server license-based, so it will work based on how many licenses you have procured. There is a yearly subscription for each license. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Deep Security an eight out of ten, and would definitely recommend it to others to use.

Price is reasonable and competitive
Pros and Cons
  • "Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
  • "It met all our requirements, and Trend Micro provided us with a lot of help getting it set up."
  • "Deep Security's biggest shortcoming is its reporting."

What is most valuable?

Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection.

What needs improvement?

Deep Security's biggest shortcoming is its reporting.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Deep Security for about two or three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Deep Security is pretty solid. 

How was the initial setup?

Deployment took a week or two because we didn't know what we were doing. But once we got it up, it's not like I had to install it multiple times. But if I did, it wouldn't be that bad. Deep Security is pretty low maintenance. It patches itself then downloads all the new buyer signatures, the common vulnerabilities, and everything like that. So it pretty much takes care of itself. However, when we're patching everything else, it could knock one of the agents offline. So we have to deal with that aspect a little bit.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'm not sure about the exact price, but it's reasonable and competitive. Compared to its competitors, you get a lot of bang for your buck. This was the way to go. There aren't any hidden costs. Everything was straight-up. However, it has a built-in malware detector that sends you alerts, but you need someone to monitor and respond to that. You need an incident response team, and Trend Micro Has a service for that called XDR. So if you want that monitoring service, you have to pay extra.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security nine out of 10. It met all our requirements, and Trend Micro provided us with a lot of help getting it set up. I would almost give it a 10, to be honest, but there is some room for improvement with the reporting. For someone implementing Deep Security, I would advise them to pay attention to their kernel numbers. But then again, if we were using Red Hat Linux, Deep Security would be so seamless. Sometimes the kernel versions get out of sync, but as long as you stick to the standards, it's seamless. Once you deviate, the mileage may vary.

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution for protection from ransomware. 

We use artificial intelligence in the Trend Micro engine for deep security inspection. It allows us to analyze the data and threats.

What is most valuable?

It's easy to use and the interface is simple.

What needs improvement?

The biggest drawback with Trend Micro is even when it is connected to the server, it will show as offline.

Another issue is, if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem.

I would like to see cloud-based integration.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's a stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's a scalable solution. We have installed 10 to 15 customers.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have contacted technical support, and they are very good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We provide OfficeScan, OfficeScan XG, Apex models, and Worry-Free Business.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is the same as in Symantec. We have not installed the cloud-based version of Trend Micro. We have installed the on-premises version and it is easy to do.

To deploy the server, it will take 15 minutes and only five minutes to deploy each client.

Versatile, works with any operating system, and integrates well with the cloud.
Pros and Cons
  • "It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
  • "If you need a versatile solution that covers many different needs or requirements, Trend Micro Deep Security is very good."
  • "The problem with this solution is that if you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the cost."
  • "One problem with this kind of products is scaling."

What is our primary use case?

We are service providers for our customers. We are using Trend Micro Deep Security as an anti-malware and as an complete endpoint protection solution for server. The primary use case is data center security.

How has it helped my organization?

Our cloud hosting proposal has grown up with Trend Micro endpoint products fron officescan on to Deep Security. We propose it also on premise for our customers.  The antimalware engine is really effective.

What is most valuable?

This product has many features and it works with every operating system and any kind of endpoint. It's widespread.

Monitoring is good, and they also can protect DevOps/Docker enviroment.

It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and mow Google Cloud Platform.

What needs improvement?

One problem with this kind of  products is scaling. If you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the overall solution cost.

The solution offers many features aside from antimalware, lile Host FE and IDS/IPS, File integrity monitoring and so on, but if you use it to protect deliering agents on hosts you'd better verify the amount of host resources (ram)  utilized by DS agent itself.   

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been working with this solution for more than five years. We also delivered Deep Discovery suite products ad advanced ATP solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

At one time we had some issues, but not anymore. It's quite a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's on of the best scalable antimalware solution as the amount of protected endpoints grows.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have support here in Italy and we contact them directly. We have a good relationship with our local support.

Overall, we are quite satisfied with technical support.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is complex.

The time for deployment depends on the size. You have different installations for different sizes.

What about the implementation team?

we integrated it with vendor engineering assistance. The level of their assistance team is high,  they have skilled and expert people

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's more expensive than other endpoint protection solution. It's not the cheapest.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

for our customers i also evaluated: Symantec, Kaspersky, Sophos. Bitdefender

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Trend Micro Deep Security. 

If you need a versatile solution that covers many different needs or requirements, Trend Micro Deep Security is very good. It's a broad-spectrum product.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

    Though the tool fails to detect all the viruses and bugs, it offers support for installation at an economical price
    Pros and Cons
    • "I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
    • "We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use Trend Micro Deep Security as a tool for its antivirus and antimalware capabilities to protect our systems.

    What needs improvement?

    Trend Micro Deep Security should provide better options. In the case of detection, we are not very happy with the functioning of the antivirus capabilities that Trend Micro Deep Security provides us. It doesn't have a passive way by which we can enable Microsoft Defender, considering most of the other antiviruses allow Microsoft Defender to work passively.

    We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs. We are looking for an alternate solution.

    The tool lacks proper detection capabilities. Trend Micro Deep Security should know how to work along with Microsoft Defender in a passive mode. These two are major improvements.

    On the cloud version, Trend Micro Deep Security Scanner has to improve on the signature part of analyzing the latest threat.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for two years as a customer.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    If it doesn't do its function, there's no question of security or stability since everything is lost.

    Detection is the most important thing, and if it doesn't get it, then there is no point talking about stability. There is nothing called stability in an antivirus tool.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    They have different flavors, I guess. So based on the flavors, I think they give a number of assets that you can deploy onto the machines that you have. I have not used Trend Micro Apex One, so I cannot compare it with Trend Micro Deep Security.

    We are an enterprise-sized business, and the solution is deployed on the main server. It's an enterprise server that we have, and it has been deployed onto that particular server.

    How are customer service and support?

    Trend Micro's support team provides the required information, but largely, they reach out to us with respect to their knowledge-based articles. With respect to the fundamental design and deployment of the tool, we doubt that we will be able to get access to help from the product's support team. A quick escalation to the top support personnel, which helps with support, is unavailable.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Before choosing Trend Micro Deep Security as a solution, I was working with the solution from a company named Quick Heal. I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques. We thought the word in the product, which is deep security meant it was providing its users with a very deep level of security, but we later came to know it is too shallow in reality.

    How was the initial setup?

    Installation is not an issue. They offer good support for installation. It is the run time of the program that is very critical for us. During run time, when there is an attack, the program should be able to identify it. If the program does not have a proper system to identify the attack, it will destabilize our entire security platform.

    The solution is deployed on a private cloud in our organization. We have our own cloud partner. We don't use Azure or Google.

    It does not take much time to deploy the solution. All the time taken for deployment and support comes under one particular point. The primary question is if a tool can neutralize the attacks. The function of an antivirus or security product is to make sure it neutralizes its situation or at least identifies the situation. If a tool does not neutralize attacks, it's a major drawback or unsuitable for an enterprise-grade business.

    You can just run a script and deploy it in NAS. The deployment process is not an issue.

    One engineer is fine to deploy it if he understands the script. He can deploy it using automation on all the systems, be it 1,000 or 20,000 systems.

    Trend Micro Deep Security does not require maintenance. The tool has an auto-run feature, so all updates are automatic and we do not need to maintain it.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The pricing of the product is fine. Pricing doesn't matter when you are talking about a solution meant for enterprise-sized businesses since what matters is the real security and the kind of detection a product offers. At the enterprise level, we are ready to deal with the product in terms of pricing, but we should barely need to work hard on the product later on. From a pricing perspective, I would say the product is economical.

    The payments are made on a yearly basis towards the licensing of the solution.

    There are no extra costs involved since there will be an agent that is deployed on your server, and the agent will take care of all the activities.


    What other advice do I have?

    I would not recommend the solution at this point in time, especially for critical infrastructure.

    Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Private Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
