Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.
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

"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"Provides protection against threats."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
"The threat scanning is excellent. It uses predictive technology and I can utilize attack data to help us fine-tune our systems and network infrastructure. This protects us against current and future attacks."
"Trellix Security Endpoint can promptly isolate any host machines directly from the console. If alerts are received and isolation is necessary, it can be accomplished through the console. The console itself holds significant value, accessible through a browser and allowing remote actions via cloud login."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
 

Cons

"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"The price for this EPP platform is expensive and could be improved."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"The local technical support could be better."
"I hope the solution can be used in cloud systems going forward."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
"The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."
"The main area for improvement is the integration with Microsoft Windows Hello, which includes Face ID or fingerprint-based authentication. Currently, they don't support either, so users have to type in the username and password."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"No comment."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
