TrendAI Deep Security Reviews

It gives clients an additional view of what's happening in their data centers.

Deep Security is on-prem at this stage, but it has got cloud workload protection that has similar functionality in the cloud.

In addition to providing our clients a view of what's happening in their data centers, it also does virtual patching in the data center. It enhances the security in the data center big time.

What this product lacks at this stage is the ability to have automated workbooks to do the response. At this stage, the response is more manual, and it is not automated. If there is a response functionality in Deep Security, similar to what we have in EDR these days, to automatically respond to some of the threats, it would be cool. So, we'd like to have an automated response. There should be a response functionality.

We have been providing this solution for a few years.

It is stable.

It is scalable, but it is fairly expensive.

In terms of its usage, we're not using it internally. We have three clients at the moment. They are fairly big clients.

Their technical support is good.

It is a bit more difficult because it needs a bit of hardware, etc. Deep Security is more complex to set up than web security. Implementing Deep Security properly is usually about a week's worth of work because of the change control in the company. It is the change control that's an issue.

In terms of people required for its deployment, one engineer is usually enough.

Most of it is annual at this stage.

I would definitely recommend it for medium enterprises. 

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

Deep Security is a server protection product. We use it for virtual patching and file integration. You can use this with your cloud or an NX environment, virtual services, VMware, etc. 

Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers.

I've been using Deep Security for more than five years.

Performance is fine. You need to keep an eye on the new files getting detected, or so you have to keep on applying those file folders. So you have to keep monitoring, or else it is not going to help. So especially for the file integrity model and all. 

I don't know about the scalability, but it's good for few servers where you can manage. 

There is a local Trend Micro team in Mumbai that we call for support or to log a ticket.

Deployment and post-deployment implementation are a little complicated. We can't touch servers, and we can't modify the settings. It should be automated, and Trend Micro should make the process more intelligent. The scope is broad, and you have to manually monitor the file scans and respond whenever there is a detection. 

The deployment itself is not that difficult because it's client based. So you want to install clients on each of those servers, and then you have to keep monitoring and adding features. You check the server's performance, and if everything is fine, you can keep adding servers. But post-implementation is time-consuming. You have to do monitoring, and that takes time. After you set up everything, it's not a full-fledged implementation. You have to keep on monitoring and configuring. 

And there are times when the malware protection or some other virtual patching is working fine, but you need a technician to get all the more advanced features to work. It takes around two or three technicians to implement. Our team is responsible for security while a different team handles server management. Then there are one or two people who manage the security console. And then, there are OEM support and SI support.

We have a subscription. It's not a surface subscription. It's only the AMC part.

I rate Trend Micro Deep Security six out of 10. I would recommend it. It depends on the other security controls you have in place. If you're using the entire Trend Micro suite, then you have a PT web gateway. So if you have the whole suite, you have tight integration with your APT and firewall story. In that case, Trend Micro Control Manager is there. So you have everything tied to a single console, so security and everything play as a complete story.

I used it in my previous company, and it was basically used for security levels. My company was into the implementation of projects, and we used to implement security solutions. Along with Trend Micro, we used to implement these devices. We had several customers of this solution.

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.

There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. 

It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable.

I have been using this solution for the past three years.

It is stable in a way, but you get false-positive malware notifications.

Their support can be improved. For our case related to the virtual analyzer or CMC error, they couldn't trace back the issue. We were frequently getting notifications on that server, which were false-positive. They couldn't say why this is happening, and what is making this client trigger these errors. They couldn't advise on that. They should be more knowledgeable.

Its initial setup is straightforward. Deployment duration depends on the environment. Sometimes, we needed to deploy two or three devices, and we had to consult Trend Micro. Their best practices are also there.

We had a technical team of four engineers, including me.

I would recommend this solution, but it has scope for improvement. 

I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security an eight out of ten.

Some of the main features of this solution are it is reliable and can be used in small to large size businesses.

The licensing structure could improve.

I have been using the solution for a couple of weeks.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution scalable even for large enterprises.

I have had good experiences with technical support.

The installation is straightforward.

There is a license required for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase. 

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Trend Micro Deep Security an eight out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is for deep security protection when accessing the internet and when performing online accounting.

An additional feature that should be included in the next release is the ability to scan more document types.

I have been using this solution for five months.

The solution is stable.

The customer service/technical support for this solution is very fast.

The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months.

The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions.

The primary use case of this solution is for anti-malware and virtual paths.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the virtual path function, which is the reason we chose to implement it.

I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us.

Detection and Response directly to the servers.

I have been using Trend Micro Deep Security since last year.

It's a stable product. We have not had issues.

We have a team of 40 to support and maintain this solution.

This is a scalable solution. We have 2,000 users and a total of 20,000 staff members in our organization. We have more than 40 hospitals in Thailand.

We are satisfied with the support that we have received.

We are also using CrowdStrike.

Also, we were using Kasperky for anti-malware for the servers.

The initial setup was not easy because when we deployed it, we had to restart our server, and needed permissions from our client.

It took approximately six months to deploy.

I recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Our primary use case is for endpoint protection and email as well as web protection. We are stacking our servers once a month and vulnerabilities are checked every day. I'm a senior director in the company and we're a customer of Trend.  

Automated virtual patching would be the most valuable feature. Deep Security has an option called recommendation scans. Once that feature is enabled, it scans the endpoints for these vulnerability questions and the tool can implement the rules to prevent the vulnerability found in this batch.

This is a very good tool but I don't find it to be a particularly user friendly solution, a lot of trouble shooting is required. I believe it needs simplification, without that they will run into continual problems. For now the solution requires spending a lot of time on module issues and anti-malware modules. We also have issues with scaling and this area could be improved. Adding one additional end point means you need to re-input all the other end points. If you have 1,000 users, that is not possible in real time. Each time we deploy new managers we need to connect with all endpoints and they need to be re-entered. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

This solution is stable. 

The scalability is very good and as we grow we are expanding our tool networks.

The setup is straightforward. We initially procured the tool for 50 people and we've now implemented it for 200. There are many new customers coming in so we're looking to scale it to 1000 plus endpoints.

I am completely satisfied with this tool but we still plan to implement with the Symantec Endpoint Protection for the upgrade segment. We want to use a different tool for endpoint security because if there are any bugs in Trend Micro or any other tool we use then we're in trouble so we've decided not to have multiple tools from the same vendor. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

Trend Micro makes up part of our overall security solution.

This product offers good protection against many types of malware.

The most valuable feature is the virtual patching. It means that you don't have to patch applications manually, such as the monthly updates that are released from Microsoft.

Application integration is good. For example, there is a specific module for SAP.

They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now. I have four locations and I need to log in to each location's portal to look at it. That is a very big job and I would like to have a consolidated report for all of them.

We would like to see the advanced threat protection (ATP) built-in, without having to use another product.

I have been working with Trend Micro Deep Security for three years.

I have never had an issue with stability. Some of my colleagues have had problems but technical support dealt with them quickly.

My colleagues were able to receive support for issues quickly. I would rate the support a nine out of ten.

I also have experience with McAfee and one of the nice features it has is a central portal, where different locations are integrated and I can do everything from one place.

The initial setup is not at all complex. Anybody can do the implementation. The length of time required for deployment depends on how many systems are being integrated.

This is a product that I definitely recommend.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Our environment includes virtual machines using VMware, and this solution is used as part of the overall security solution.

We evaluated this solution with a PoC and since our implementation, we have been happy with it.

The situation with the currency in Turkey makes this solution a little bit on the expensive side, and if it were lowered then it would be more competitive.

We have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for more than eight months.

Stability has not been an issue for us.

We have not had any problems with scalability.

My team is happy with the technical support.

The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it.

Price-wise, compared to the products that we had invested in before, this is a valuable solution. That said, it is a little bit expensive in Turkey because of our currency.

Overall, we are satisfied with this product and I don't have any complaints about it. It is one that I recommend.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are using two products. One is Trend Mirco Deep Security, and the other is Apex One. We use Apex One for endpoint protection and Deep Security for server protection.

It scans for intrusion prevention and the forensics of any threats.

On the product side, they have done multiple upgrades. When we started with Trend Micro they offered us the OfficeScan agent. It is a malware product. After that, it upgraded to Worry-Free. Then we moved to Apex One. So Trend Micro offered all the upgrades. Since we are in the manufacturing industry our focus is mainly on production and we don't consider IT much. In this regard, we are not upgrading our hardware much. We are using the same hardware for five, six, seven years.

However, Trend Micro does not support less than Windows 7. So that is a drawback for us. Otherwise, the functioning of the product is very good.

In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IPs do not belong to us at the firewall.

Another valuable feature is its lightweight nature. It is only 25 MB deployed in the server, yet it works smoothly, and everything is automated, including the updates and scans. We have scheduled scans that give us a weekly report.

As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them. Our management is a little conservative about paying for new features. So if they're upgrading something or coming out with a new technology, they should provide it to the existing users. Recently, I attended a webinar that XDR gave about their new threat finding features and we have not received them yet. They are not giving it to existing customers. They are only offering it for purchase. It is for threat forensic reports.

I'm not asking for free, since we are already paying. Whenever they come out with a new thing, they should integrate it with the existing product. That is my opinion.

Additionally, we need a complete web reputation. We need to be able to do forensics for any incoming threat, to find details of the source of the threat, and to catch the '"enemy."

We have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for the last two years.

In terms of stability, it is very good at finding malware, threats, etc... There is no virus problem, no external threats, no data leak. It is good for now.

We have not experienced any bugs, or glitches, or crashes.

Before we started using Trend Micro were using McAfee. We switched because we got a ransomware attack back in 2016. It wasn't safe enough. It was one of the first attacks in India and our management said that McAfee was not ready for it. They had not upgraded their signature and it had multiple systems attacked. After that, management decided to switch to another product and that's when we started using Trend Micro. For the last four or five years we have not had any problems.

The initial setup and deployment are not complex. The infrastructure is very good to operate. 

The deployment of the agent is very lightweight. It takes about 10 minutes to complete. 

We deployed under the consultation of Trend Micro. But I can also manage it. When we run into any actual problem only then do we contact Trend Micro. Otherwise, it is running smoothly.

As a user, I am not finding any drawbacks or problems in this security product. But I do see in some forums comments about issues other customers are facing. I know there are multiple products in the market that are maybe better than Trend Micro. That is why I came to your site and researched other solutions. I have found that Palo Alto is better than Trend Micro. But we have not tested it yet, so I requested from Palo Alto Networks to show us some other products. They are coming next week to show us. If we find that they are better than Trend Micro we will switch. But overall, Trend Micro is working very well.

We had also evaluated Symantec in the past.

I am satisfied with the product. As I mentioned, sometimes we feel some other features should be included. For example, the complete system control and web reputation. Regarding web reputation, I am a little limited because although we are blocking some sites, they are able to access those sites from out of our network. In other words, the restriction should be permanent whether it is done on-premises or on the internet. That is a drawback.

I can recommend it because it is good product. I have experience with other products as well and they have failed in the security field. That why I'm working with Trend Micro now.

The user interface in Trend Micro is very helpful. They have some study videos and some process videos included in the portal itself. So when we are in any system or get a warning or any critical error we can resolve it on the spot because we have the solution attached to the data error. That is something good thing they have done in the portal. With the instructions they have given we can see what we need to do so we can get it resolved by our self. We can learn the things on our own with no need to go to support. 

On a scale of one to ten I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security an eight.
