Brad DaughertyView profile
Virtualization Network Engineer in Information Technology at Onramp Access (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

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

Cons

  • Agent based security on Desktop/Laptop and error reporting is very difficult to maintain.
  • Support is very slow to respond and resolve issues.
  • Price point is on the higher end in the agentless marketplace.

Return on Investment

  • Once setup it provides easy AV installation and management in a virtual enviroment.
  • Agentless allows for no boot storms in a VDI enviroment
  • Trend notifier on the VM's give the users the visibility that they are protected and also can be used on software inventory systems to show that the VM's are protected even though the real protection is at the hypervisor level.

Pros

  • It's easy to use the console.
  • It has a very similar look and feels to Deep Security Console.
  • It plugs into the Apex Central for easy management.

Cons

  • 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.

Return on Investment

  • Save time by already being familiar with the interface.
  • Using the single pain to view and track problems by using apex central hooked up to Deep security works pretty well most of the time.
  • Tracking viruses and malware in apex central is actually fairly easy to do.

Trend Micro Deep Security - Virtually Worry Free Protection of your VMware Environment

Manager in Information Technology (501-1000 employees employees)

Pros

  • Trend Micro Deep Security quarantines and removes malware from VMs in out virtual environment. I have tested this out myself several times using the Eicar test virus file, and I have found many times reported in the Deep Security dashboard malware that was quarantined.
  • Deep Security actually provides us visibility to the state of anti-malware and file integrity protection of our VMware environment. It provides the infrastructure administrators and administrators peace of mind by giving us real-time data, visual and otherwise, into the state of our virtual infrastructure.
  • Deep Security is particularly good at notifying administrators of any issues with protected VMs. The dashboard is very customizable and provides the admin with multiple widgets to make viewing components of the dash extremely useful from an operations perspective.

Cons

  • Trend Micro has very little room for improvement. I am using version 9.6 at this time and it is extremely reliable. Some of the upgrades were not completely intuitive, but in those cases Deep Security support came through with documentation that covered all the bases.

Return on Investment

  • 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.
