We compared Trend Micro Deep Security and VMware NSX based on our users' reviews in six parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security is commended for its extensive range of security features and effective data center solutions. However, users have expressed concerns regarding its complexity, limited integration, pricing, and technical support. On the other hand, VMware NSX is highly valued for its control over virtual switches, micro-segmentation, and user-friendly management platform. However, there are areas for improvement, such as licensing clarity, hypervisor support, and support for implementation.
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
"We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"DLP, Data Loss Prevention, and the complexity of how we manage the console and how this client, or this tool, will notify us when there is something going wrong within the server and endpoint, is good."
"The most valuable features are security and dynamic routing."
"The product has valuable features for security and network extension."
"This is a good firewall and overall it is rich in features."
"The most valuable features are stability and low cost."
"The alert features are the most valuable."
"VMware NSX's overlay network is its most valuable feature, as it aligns with any network philosophy and allows for efficient addressing mechanisms. Additionally, the ability to extend the on-premise network into the provider space is beneficial. There are many features provided."
"The most valuable features for us at this early stage are the interface and the integration with existing VMware solutions."
"The most valuable features are the micro-segmentation and integrated security options."
"Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"One drawback is this solution requires a lot of other products in the VMware ecosystem to have a full end-to-end operation orchestration monitoring. You have to buy a lot of add-ons to fully utilize the functionality."
"It lacks full knowledge of physical side of the network topology."
"It might be nice to have more AI in the future."
"The setup of the solution could be simplified."
"We have been satisfied with the technical support. They were able to solve our problems. However, they could be faster."
"The network-extending capabilities for the physical environment need improvement."
"Nowadays, NSX supports the KVM and ESXi hypervisors only. It should also support Hyper-V and Citrix hypervisors."
"Going through and getting more features sets from the routing protocols is definitely necessary for the future."
