Also ease of use is the best feature. Pros We implemented and integrated Deep Security easily. Our administrators like the ease of use. The product compatible with all server types, so we don’t need to separate licensing models. Other Trend Micro products are easy to use with central management. Trend Micro Deep Security provides real-time, high-performance scanning, so we can be protected against attacks instantly and also scanning is fast. Cons There is no major disadvantage of this product. May be we can say that reporting module can be improved. Also price of product is higher than other products. Alternatives considered [Symantec Endpoint Security](https://www.capterra.com/p/227396/Symantec-Endpoint-Protection/) Reason for choosing Trend Micro Deep Security We compare all the products with small PoC. We chose Trend Micro because it has a lot of best features than others.

Good and stable solution. Deep security can cater small, medium and large scale enterprises with its centrally managed simple and easily manageable console. Administrative workload is less once deployed properly. Simple dashboards make it easy to monitor the network and it provides total visibility over the network. Less cpu and memory consumption makes computers less stressed during real time and on demand scan. Pros Antivirus is stable and has a better alerting mechanism. Dashboards are simple. Virtual patching is an advanced option which cannot be seen in most solutions. It can apply security controls automatically to protect from zero day vulnerabilities. Less cpu and memory consumption. Cons Not satisfied with the support level they are providing. Also antivirus signatures are poor and didn’t detect most of the malwares. Dashboards are not comprehensive and need to improve. Reports also have very limited options and need to improve reporting. Review Source KR Kiran R. Vulnerability Assessor Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Comprehensive Review of Trend Micro Deep Security" February 8, 2025 5.0 Pros I like most about Automated security management that has automated patching, policy based protection and virtual patching. The centralized management provides single dashboard for managing security policies across our organisation. Threat intel is very strong by Trend Micro, as they fetch from global trend micro network and helpful in defensive against new threats. Cons It is a bit complex to configure some settings at initial and policies. Nothing apart from that at this point. Review Source IM Ilario M.

Cons Not much negative to say about something protecting your software and hardware from malware Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Specialist Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Complete protection that takes care of everything for us" August 6, 2018 4.0 Pros It can accurately detect, prevent or remove any spam, malware or virus to ensure that our physical, virtual, and cloud systems are well-protected and secure at all times. It scans every hard disc and usb drive and sends you a report every month. Many outbreaks and problems have been averted because of this software, so it gives us a huge relief to have it. It’s so easy to use that our system administrator just had to set it and forget it and it took care of the rest. Update rollouts and monitoring can be done in a single dashboard, so it’s very convenient. Cons Full-system scans can take a considerable amount of time and can slow down the machine a lot. However, it is optional and the administrator can just schedule it when the systems are not in use.

Review Source JE Jhon E. Network and Security Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very useful and easy to manage" July 6, 2021 5.0 Overall the experience has been very good: very good attention in terms of technical support and commercial issues. We had the on-premises version and now we are moving to the cloud. In both cases the deployment of the product was simple and with very good support from the seller. We feel very comfortable with the purchase of the product as it meets the needs for which we acquired it (virtual patches for legacy systems and security reinforcements). Pros It is very interesting and useful for us to be able to protect our legacy operating systems through a "virtual patch". In other words, we really liked the possibility of protecting the system without the need to physically install a Windows update. On the other hand, the possibility to protect our Linux systems with a wide variety of components (protection for Web servers, file systems, Logs, ETC) has been of great help to us in the administration and protection of our systems. Cons They can improve in the documentation of each component that the product has. For example, provide more information to decide whether or not to enable a feature (or how to optimize it).

May 6, 2020 4.0 Honestly, Trend Micro works with you day by day if they need to. Best AV out there. Pros One of the best thing about these guys at Trend Mirco is they stay innovating.
