Featured Reviews

DeepakReddy - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr.Devops engineer at Scaler
Centralized secret management has improved multi-cloud security and automated key rotation
I sometimes feel that there are documentation gaps in Akeyless Secrets Management. The documentation could be more detailed for advanced integrations and troubleshooting. Some organizations feel that there is a trust concern because the secrets are stored in Akeyless Secrets Management and it is not open-sourced. It is completely closed-source. If something goes wrong or someone hacks Akeyless Secrets Management, there is a huge drawback. These are concerns my organization and many other organizations are facing. The UI/UX could be better on the homepage and many other pages. Pricing transparency should also be improved. The pricing should include discounted pricing for regular customers or regular enterprise customers.
Jorge Abalo - PeerSpot reviewer
Endpoint Security Analyst at BNP Paribas
Endpoint protection has strengthened network control and has simplified global threat response
In my opinion, the best features Trellix Collaboration Security offers include the firewall, the on-access scan, and the ability to obtain daily signatures for the latest malware. These daily signatures, referred to as content, ensure that we are protected against the most recent malware threats recognized by other companies. Another feature I particularly enjoy is the capability to maintain different locations that can communicate with the fabric, or DXL fabric as I refer to it, allowing me to create something akin to an EDR for immediate responses to resolve issues. The DXL fabric has helped my organization by enabling communication between different locations, such as one in Europe, another in South America, and one here. This fabric communicates with a broker that interacts with the TIE servers, which maintain the reputation of files, certificates, and known signatures from various regions including Europe, South America, and Canada. When something suspicious occurs, such as a certificate appearing malicious on an application, I can easily click and indicate that I trust this file, and through the fabric, I can apply an exclusion for that application across all locations simultaneously. Other features I find valuable include the SSO integration with Trellix EPO, specifically SAML SSO, allowing people not to have to manage usernames and passwords if they already utilize an SSO service for SAML; I consider this functionality to be quite beneficial.

Pros

"Akeyless Secrets Management has positively impacted our organization because it has improved security through simpler credential rotation policies."
"Akeyless Secrets Management is actually a nice tool because it also integrates zero-knowledge security and it is a JIT access which replaces the standing privileges and hardcoded credentials with identity-based ephemeral secrets generated exclusively at runtime, which is really amazing for us."
"Akeyless Secrets Management stands out because it combines SaaS simplicity with a Zero-Knowledge cryptographic design, reducing operational overhead without fully sacrificing control."
"Akeyless Secrets Management is a very good tool, and I have not used a better one than it."
"I would recommend others to use Akeyless Secrets Management; it is a brilliant security platform, very easy to use, and does exactly what it says it should."
"Akeyless Secrets Management has positively impacted my organization as it helped store our secrets in a right way, in a proper controlled way where you can view, update, and at the same time, it helps in updating the passwords very effectively in the cloud running environment."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
"The product helps reduce the number of malicious emails reaching the user's inbox."
"The solution offers almost every feature that customers need in one solution, for example, spam filtering, antivirus, et cetera, with almost zero false positives."
"Trellix Collaboration Security is valued for being a stable and comprehensive solution that fulfills customer needs."
"One of the valuable features of the product stems from the fact that it is easy to implement the tool in our environment."
"One of the most valuable features is the protection against vulnerabilities, particularly through virtual patching."
"A specific example of how I have used Trellix Collaboration Security in my consulting work is in my current work environment, where I manage over 130,000 endpoints, allowing me to protect each endpoint with a firewall, which makes a significant difference because the entire network is not protected by a network firewall alone."
 

Cons

"Some organizations feel that there is a trust concern because the secrets are stored in Akeyless Secrets Management and it is not open-sourced."
"Akeyless Secrets Management platform could be improved with a more beginner-friendly interface."
"Akeyless Secrets Management could be improved in several areas. The initial setup was quite difficult for me."
"As a global organization, Akeyless Secrets Management needs to gain trust."
"Sometimes, integration can be challenging, impacting its stability, which is why I rate it a five out of ten."
"The solution is not easy to set up. However, we have employees that have the knowledge that can do the difficult implementation. It would be better if the process was easier."
"I observe that the return on investment is hindered by the lack of adequate training opportunities, with Trellix's own training being quite costly, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 dollars, which many small or medium-sized businesses cannot afford."
"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
"The solution needs better support."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
