Trellix Network Security vs. Trend Micro Deep Discovery

It’s a dedicated Network Advanced Threat Detection and
Prevention solution. Easy maintenance and low operating costs fit perfectly for
SMEs. Variety of appliance selection makes NX the perfect choice for large
enterprises. As it’s a dedicated solution with its own appliance, price is higher
compared to NGTP add on solutions. FireEye is an ecosystem therefore when you’ve
the EX or HX vice versa, you should be looking to NX. Otherwise, you’re missing
the threat intel exchange on the network side reverse is the true. Sizing is
important before the purchase, if you select a low end model for a busy network
you lose your initial investment. For multiple NX deployments I highly
recommend CMS. Without CMS you’ll lose the threat intel exchange and this will
negatively reduce the risk scores.

I think Trend Micro Deep Discovery will be suitable for every system, but considering its cost, companies that will want to work in this scenario will usually have systems with multiple branches, multiple clients, and systems that host many independent platforms and communication methods - protocols. In summary, if you have a medium to large structure and you cannot protect this structure because you cannot monitor it in every area, you definitely need this product.

• Very first detected APT sample can pass the NX even it's inline blocking mode.
• Performance optimization for busy networks is cumbersome.
• CMS does not provide all the management capabilities, CLI or local config. Should be done for advanced customization.
• Constant limitations of tcpdump/ packet capture for 10G interfaces.
• IPS functionality is a bit cumbersome, not a full feature IPS, lack of signatures and customization of IPS signatures.
• It's not a full NDR solution or a UBA solution.
• Lack of device or user mapping.
• Forensics is based on the specific APT. May not provide the whole story and need some additional tools.
• You cannot make manual submission to NX (needs AX).
• You cannot access the kernel directly for deep analy[sis] or troubleshooting (assist from FireEye Support should be taken).
