ManageEngine Application Control Plus vs. Trend Micro Deep Security

It works great if you want to run an application as an admin. We did find out that it will not work, or at least we cannot get it to work for users that need to change the IP address on their endpoint to connect to a traffic light. So far those users are still admins until we can figure it out

Hypervisor based agentless security this product excels at. It provides thorough protection for your VM's. The web filtering product that comes with it also does a great job filtering out malicious websites from being accessed by users with a very user friendly prompt that they are going to a website which has been found to be malicious. This is particularly useful when it comes to VDI.

• Console built well and easy to understand
• Support is awesome
• Pulls in the exe information so that it is easy to allow the application to be ran as an admin

• 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.

• The agent on the endpoint will sometimes fail to install or it will get corrupted. Nothing in the console that we can find tells us that there is an issue
• Create an agent that also works with the other products that you sell. If we have more than one product there is a chance that it may not work
• I really do not have a 3rd. This is a really good product

• 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.

It's the best one compared to other security applications

Extremely easy to use. Once we had a good idea of how it worked we had it up and running in about 2 weeks. It did take us nearly 9 months to get it installed and fully operational on all users endpoints that needed it. My admin on the team that runs the software loves it.

It is the best application I've used. Its features are effective.

Trend Micro's support is pretty decent, we have had issues in the past and they have been fairly responsive to us and our complaints. Depending on how severe the issue was. Any ticket that had a high priority was handled very shortly especially when we contacted our account rep even if it was after hours, we were still able to get support within a short time period.

Everything is good

ME has many more applications that are in the database that will work. The cost was also much cheaper that is until we confronted the other vendor about us finding another product. At that point it was too late. We own other ME products and have found success in all of them

We selected trend micro to take the AV scans and filtering out of the hands of the Windows and Linux vm's we have deployed and move it to the hypervisor level. This has led us to be able to deploy only a single DSVA per host and can protect all VM"s that are on that hosts. This has allowed for more time being spent on other priority security tasks.

• This product will help us better secure our environment. That alone is a huge cost savings
• We have allowed users that were admins to still be able to install some software on their endpoints without having admin rights on the whole endpoint
• This product has woke up some in the department to look for applications that do not require admin rights.

• 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.
