The sell key was for my company the monitoring all outgoing data and between each cloud provider which we use from all departments which keeps their data in a cloud environment. We could apply specific rules for monitoring and DPL on all traffic, which was the key feature that we were missing in the cloud solution. Also, they provide security features like intrusion prevention, antimalware, and full-path URL filtering, which are nice to have. Applying all at the start can be really time consuming but for the time we spent and how the solution help us to prevent data leave our company it was for sure worth it.

So far we, unfortunately, have been using it in a limited scenario but we find that it has been very easy to use and manage in that scenario. Integrating the protection of our few saas applications was actually very simple and being able to use a very light weight agent like deep security agent has been very useful. Other agents ate up a lot of CPU or ram or both but this one is very light.

Pros
  • DLP monitoring - key item for us which helps to view if anything which should leave our environment our or even between each part of network between/inside specific clouds
  • Segmentation of subnet, basic but helpful to isolate each host into their own part of single subnet and connect them, including all visibility features which are offered by Cisco defense systems
  • Allow/deny rules helps us to block, monitor and logs traffic passing in each direction of our environment

Cons
  • Logs can be tricky to navigate
  • GUI can sometimes be confusing
  • Wish there was a better sizing recommendation for gateway deployments

  • Agent updates can be a pain - sometimes requires a reboot.
  • Trend upgrades don't always go as planned - install errors on the upgrades.
  • It seems like there is a new vulnerability every week, sometimes.

As of yet I havent logged a TAC case - It will be interesting to see how it is supported as a new product in the medium term

Trend Micro's support is pretty decent, we have had issues in the past and they have been fairly responsive to us and our complaints. Depending on how severe the issue was. Any ticket that had a high priority was handled very shortly especially when we contacted our account rep even if it was after hours, we were still able to get support within a short time period.

The ease of use, analytics, and just overall security feature set of Cisco Multicloud Defense is hard to beat. Their product is very intriguing and quite a bit similar. However, I have learned from past experiences that you get what you pay for. Cisco may be a little more pricy but it is worth it.

We selected trend micro to take the AV scans and filtering out of the hands of the Windows and Linux vm's we have deployed and move it to the hypervisor level. This has led us to be able to deploy only a single DSVA per host and can protect all VM"s that are on that hosts. This has allowed for more time being spent on other priority security tasks.

Return on Investment
  • Saved a lot of money on Operational Overhead. I would say we were able to save more than 10 hours every week.

  • 100% positive ROI. Without Deep Security we would have to leverage and endpoint protection management solution like Sophos or SEPM (Symantec). Although both are good products, from a cost perspective it would have hit us much harder. Trend Micro Deep Security scales very nicely.
  • Since Deep Security actually has zero (or at least unnoticeable) resource footprint on monitored VMs, it is a huge cost benefit for us. As previously mentioned, actual antivirus clients installed on each virtual machine (VM) would have significantly affected performance. This would have cost us much more additionally in paying for additional resources to allocate over VMs in the VMware environment. Deep Security is almost completely unintrusive from a resource perspective.
  • Also, from a layered security perspective, it helps us meet our goals; and since the price of Trend Micro Deep Security quite reasonable, it is that much easier to get approval for this specific internal layer of security.
