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 advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server."
"The console and tools are very user-friendly."
"The ability to finely control permissions and restrictions on servers or assets through a customizable rule set is a key strength."
"We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security."
"Good file integrity monitoring features."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console, which can handle different products that we have."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It has improved functions by bringing us complete security on our clients' virtual environment."
"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."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"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."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"The most valuable feature of the product is vulnerability detection."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing its graphical user interface for a more user-friendly experience."
"The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better."
"Agent management is a challenging task."
"This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine."
"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."
"There is plenty of room for improvement with this product, and it could start with platform metrics."
"Could have better reporting capabilities and better support."
"The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."
"I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios."
"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."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support."
"The initial setup was complex."
