We performed a comparison between Symantec Data Center Security and Trend Micro Deep Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud and Data Center Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection."
"The monitoring in the management console allows us to find out what is going wrong, and it gets reports even before the user reports it."
"Good file integrity monitoring features."
"The console and tools are very user-friendly."
"We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security."
"The ability to finely control permissions and restrictions on servers or assets through a customizable rule set is a key strength."
"The granularity of applying the policies is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"The performance is good."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"It's scalable."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
"Virtual patching is a wonderful feature where we do a recommendation scan and an internal assessment on the server, and it updates the IPS signatures to block any attack. I have seen instances where it has prevented attacks on the end-of-support servers such as 2018 R2, and many years ago, even 2007 servers that were end-of-support. It certainly helped there."
"For server security purposes, I like the product's firewall."
"Adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus."
"This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine."
"The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better."
"Agent management is a challenging task."
"The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."
"They need to develop a more flexible product that can be scaled such that it fits well into a small business or a bigger, enterprise-level solution."
"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily."
"There is plenty of room for improvement with this product, and it could start with platform metrics."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used."
"Post-implementation is time-consuming. You have to do monitoring, and that takes time. After you set up everything, it's not a full-fledged implementation. You have to keep on monitoring and configuring."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
