My advice for someone considering Trend Micro Deep Security is to conduct a thorough POC before implementation. Ensure all modules are enabled during the POC and carefully assess how the solution works in your specific environment. Check the enrollment process and functionality before moving forward with the implementation. Overall, I would rate the solution as an eight out of ten.

My general advice to everyone is to first define your must-haves. What is it that you are looking for in a product? Nowadays, there are so many products with overlapping features, so you need to first decide what it is you are looking for. From a feature perspective, you should define must-haves and nice-to-have. You also need to test it out if you are running multiple products on the same server. You need to test it out on the utilization side because there is a huge utilization hit if you are running multiple agents on the same server. You need to work it out because Trend Micro, CrowdStrike, or any other agent would require a good amount of memory. There should be dedicated memory for them. If there is a 16-gig memory, at least 2-gig memory should be dedicated to them. There should be 2 gigs for it to just work and 8 gigs for the OS, so we are talking about a minimum of 10 gigs. If your servers are running on low memory, there'll be a huge utilization hit on the servers. Therefore, you need to choose the right agent. If you are running multiple agents, then you probably need to do a capacity evaluation before purchasing any of the tools. There are trial versions available, and PoCs are also available, so you can certainly check on it and see the utilization. Do proper homework before purchasing the tool. The tool is good, and it will perfectly work fine, but it also depends on the implementation. At this time, I'd rate it an eight out of ten because of the challenge that I faced when I was dependent on this, but it couldn't protect the server. However, by now, Trend Micro would have fixed the problem that I faced a year ago. I know their Singapore EDR team. I worked with them, and they are quick in terms of fixing any bugs or issues. They would've definitely looked into it, but that was one instance for me where CrowdStrike outperformed Trend Micro.

If you manage a large IT infrastructure with hundreds of servers, it is not feasible to address them all at once, making Trend Micro Deep Security an excellent choice for first-time users. I highly recommend this solution to enterprise-level or large organizations that are hosting numerous servers. It is extremely helpful and saves a lot of time. It is one of the best vulnerability management systems available on the market, providing fast management solutions. I rate Trend Micro Deep Security for approximately a nine out of ten.

I'd recommend the solution to other companies. If a company has a critical or high-availability server, this is a good product. It's also great for endpoints. It's great for companies with critical services. I would rate the solution nine out of ten. We've been happy with how it has been working so far.

We are a partner. If someone is looking to implement security solutions, including endpoint security, then I would suggest that person go for the whole Trend Micro suite, not just for the endpoint security. They have different products for security solutions, including Deep Security, Network Security, Trend, et cetera. If they buy the whole package, it would be easy for them to control their network security-wise and manage it quickly, rather than having a different brand and security solution for different departments or layers of their network. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. There's always a margin to improve both in a technical sense and financially as well. I'm giving them two points less in hopes they'll continue improving their product.

This product is one of the leaders in terms of endpoint protection, server protection, and network protection. They provide good support, and it is easy to deploy. They are scalable, and the threat intelligence is very good. They stay up to date with what is happening in the cyber world. Personally, I like anti-malware and integrity monitoring. The anti-malware has its own behavioral monitoring and machine learning. It detects all species and objects in the server or the file integrity monitoring. If there are any changes on the server side, they will alert you. I would like to see these tools as part of Trend Micro Deep Security. I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security a nine out of ten overall.

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.

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.

It's been one of the four main antivirus solutions, deployed in an industrial way. We've been quite happy with it. You can deploy it on-premises or the cloud, and it's possible to use it with Windows and Linux. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been very happy with it and found it to be quite secure. Of course, next-generation solutions such as Crowd Strike or Carbon Black are game-changing.

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 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.

It is important to implement this kind of solution because many people do not have security on their servers. This includes the vulnerability patching that should be done. This solution has improved over time. They have been introducing third-party plug-ins and integration, and there is a cloud version available as well. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

It integrates well with other products, e.g., we use it on user endpoints, servers, physical servers, VMware, and AWS. We use it on a lot of platforms. Right now, we are using a cloud-based version, which I believe is the AWS version. We have the risk-free version which gives us a web format for us to push out programs to computer servers.

The best approach is to start off with a node where it is sort of monitoring and looking at stuff, then work your way into the actual prevention and blocking. Because it can turn off a bunch of services without too much effort which can be good, but it can also shut things down. We haven't really gone into the integration aspect yet.

We started with it on-premise, and now we also have it on the cloud to protect our cloud workloads. The cloud has all the features and functionality turned on by default, which makes it very easy and simple to use. This hosted solution means there's no set up or configuration and they handle all the product and kernel updates for us.

Take a good look at all the different options. If there are things which I think teams are familiar with, that always gives a product a bit of a leg up. This is not just from the perspective of the people who support and deploy the product, but even the security teams who may be already familiar with the product and know how effective it is. It gives them a lot more comfort seeing something that they have some background with. Our company uses the on-premise and AWS versions. I work with the AWS version, and have been happy with it. I am seeing more of the end result of it rather than the infrastructure and security perimeter. We decided to use AWS because it was something the teams were familiar with. Our teams, who are currently using Trend Micro, were already familiar with the product and wanted to make use of it in the cloud as well. It was just a matter of continuity. It is integrated with a SIEM, security incident and event management, platform. A lot of the output which comes from Trend Micro, we fed into the SIEM system so the security teams and the monitoring teams have a single pane of glass view into all the security features of our environment.

Think about it. It's for the cloud and not meant to be retro-fitted. You're not managing a core server and it's got elastic scalability up and down from a cost perspective. You just pay per agent. If you don't need a server anymore, you don't pay. When you implement and install, really learn how to set up the dashboard. You have to have a good intimate knowledge of your environment. Take the time to learn the product; don't just plug it in because it's not meant for that.
