Secure communication has protected sensitive audits and now supports fast cross‑team decisions
The best feature in AWS Wickr is its end-to-end encryption model, which provides enhanced data security and confidence regarding data breaches. The end-to-end encryption in AWS Wickr impacts my day-to-day work by helping me gain confidence while sharing sensitive data points with internal team members or key stakeholders outside the company domain. Beyond encryption, the ease of use along with the functionalities it provides is commendable. AWS Wickr has positively impacted my organization in multiple ways. We received very positive feedback from our stakeholders and external partners regarding the ease of use and the functionalities and features it provides, along with frequent updates that allow us to implement improvements regularly.

Real-time threat response has boosted detection accuracy and reduces manual investigation work
I have had challenges in the past with Trellix Collaboration Security for implementation because of issues related to compatibility. Since we worked in a global company with different operating systems, it was necessary to create different plans and different actions to implement the product.One thing I really do not prefer in Trellix Collaboration Security is not related to the console. I am a McAfee fan since the McAfee tool, and I find the console of Trellix Collaboration Security to be very user-friendly and easy to use. However, I do not know if it is related to the architecture of the product. Of course, we have modern threats based on behaviors and zero days. We have today CrowdStrike and SentinelOne, where we have better results based on threats and behavior, where it is possible to create a simulation environment based on the file detected and based on it, confirm if it really is malicious or not. In general, I believe Trellix Collaboration Security improved the console based on the last console of McAfee, but I think it is possible to improve more. It really is a good product, but in my view, it needs to improve detection based on behaviors. Regarding automations, I have implemented Trellix Collaboration Security here at Johnson & Johnson, and I implemented it in the same situation at Santander Bank and BNP Paribas Bank, where I created automations to export data for different metrics, including malicious detections, compliance, baselines, scans, last scans based on the seven days, and checking of patterns. I export everything to CSV files. Based on that, I create Power BI dashboards, and in these Power BI dashboards, I have a more executive view for different metrics to provide to myself, my manager, or director to create an executive view based on it. Another important point we use here at Johnson & Johnson and other companies is a data hub or a SIEM solution, such as Elastic or ArcSight, where we select some logs to be sent and use it to build reports and metrics.

Cons

"AWS Wickr was not embedded directly into the mobile app; instead, it was used as a secure internal collaboration layer for the development and operation teams, which supported secure coordination around mobile development, testing, and releases."
"AWS Wickr still has good scope for improvement in terms of feature enhancement."
"User experience consistency across devices is something AWS Wickr can improve."
"We're not really that satisfied with technical support. They are too slow to respond."
"The custom tailoring is limited."
"It really is a good product, but in my view, it needs to improve detection based on behaviors."
"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."
"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."
"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
