Trend Micro Deep Security vs. WatchGuard Firebox Cloud

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.

• Immediate protection upon boot
• Central Management Console
• DSVA easy deployment

• 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.

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.

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.

• 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.
