We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and Cisco Secure Workload based on our users' reviews in six categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security is praised for its extensive security features, virtual patching, stability, and scalability. However, it is criticized for its complexity, outdated design, high cost, and the need for better integration and technical support. On the other hand, Cisco Secure Workload is known for being user-friendly, with a well-designed UI and GUI, and provides a complete solution. It also receives praise for its stability and helpful technical support. However, it is criticized for its integration, complexity, and controversial changes in data storage.
"The most valuable feature of this solution is security."
"The most valuable feature is micro-segmentation, which is the most important with respect to visibility."
"Secure Workload's best feature is that it's an end-to-end offering from Cisco."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that we don't have to do packet captures on the network."
"The product provides multiple-device integration."
"Generally speaking, Cisco support is considered one of the best in the networking products and stack."
"A complete and powerful micro-segmentation solution."
"Scalability is its most valuable feature."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"The file integrity and log inspection are game-changing features for us."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is a complete solution and all the threat management has been taken care of."
"Very user-friendly interface, easy to understand."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"The customer service/technical support for this solution is very fast."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"Secure Workload is a little complicated to use, and the dashboard isn't intuitive, so it takes a while to learn how to use it."
"The emailed notifications are either hard to find or they are not available. Search capabilities can be improved."
"There is some overlap between Cisco Tetration and AppDynamics and I need to have a single pane of glass, rather than have to jump between different tools."
"They should scale down the hardware a bit. The initial hardware investment is two million dollars so it's a price point problem. The issue with the price comes from the fact that you have to have it with enormous storage and enormous computes."
"The multi-tenancy, redundancy, backup and restore functionalities, as well as the monitoring aspects of the solution, need improvement. The solution offers virtually no enterprise-grade possibility for monitoring."
"I'd like to see better documentation for advanced features. The documentation is fairly basic. I would also like to see better integration with other applications."
"There was a controversy when Cisco reduced the amount of data they kept, and the solution became quite cost-intensive, which made its adoption challenging….Although they have modified it now, I preferred the previous version, and I wish all the functionality were back under the same product."
"The product must be integrated with the cloud."
"We have had some issues when it drains some of the resources of the server."
"The risk is very complex. We need our tools to be more intelligent, more automated, more detectable."
"The product isn't very user-friendly."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"They are still working on the company integration from TippingPoint because this was a recent acquisition from a few years ago. So, a Tipping Point integration with Deep Security, having one single pane of glass dashboard, would provide us a simple use case."
"What this product lacks at this stage is the ability to have automated workbooks to do the response. At this stage, the response is more manual, and it is not automated. If there is a response functionality in Deep Security, similar to what we have in EDR these days, to automatically respond to some of the threats, it would be cool. So, we'd like to have an automated response. There should be a response functionality."
"The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently."
"The initial setup was complex."
