In-depth traffic analysis and proactive support reduce investigation time
The live IOC feed identifies the type, technique, and tactics used. This becomes handy since then I know what to refer to from the playbook. For instance, if I take a use case of someone with Mimikatz installed on their system, knowing the nature beforehand reduces investigation time. I can quickly apply the playbook to resolve incidents in less time.
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security ( /categories/endpoint-protection-platform-epp ) can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Mandiant Advantage is excellent at providing the full context and all the information, where the information was found, and the full data, including the raw data that was uploaded onto the Internet."
"The scalability of Mandiant Advantage deserves a ten out of ten."
"It is so valuable to have someone performing these functions outside of our business hours when we don't have staff in the building. We've seen a lot of solid metrics on the amount of malware that it's detecting and resolving. We're pleased with it so far."
"The live IOC feed identifies the type, technique, and tactics used."
"The advantage of the solution is being able to go look up threat actors and get a lot of detailed information about different attacks and different tactics and general information about threats."
"The feature I have found most valuable is directory monitoring. We experienced an instance of threat actors trying to ensure a complex and massive attack against our customer's infrastructure on the forum. That is, they were animating people on a formum. The solution alerted us to this two days ahead of the attack, which gave us plenty of time to prepare for it."
"I have never faced stability issues."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"The setup is not that complex. It takes five to ten minutes to set up."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is a proven, robust, and cost-effective solution that protects the organization from different types of ransomware and attacks."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
 

Cons

"Collaboration of data in my view becomes a bit clogged, requiring effort to understand visually."
"Sometimes Mandiant Advantage becomes noisy when dealing with widely recognized companies due to false positives."
"I have already given them feedback that their UI needs improvement since sometimes there is a lag. The side-by-side depiction of request response and action clogs the screen."
"I think that the data query that is used for data cloud language should be improved. It's really hard to query actual data from the platform."
"Mandiant's on-prem client is too processor-intensive, so it's putting a strain on the local device's CPU. When a scan is running on the device, the other processing tasks slow to a crawl. We're still trying to figure out the correct settings for the client."
"They could have better support. Now that they've merged, they are moving towards a portal system, which isn't very helpful."
"Sometimes Mandiant Advantage becomes noisy when dealing with widely recognized companies due to false positives."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"Search feature could be made more user-friendly."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
