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.

Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies

There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security 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

"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."

"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."

"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."

"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."

"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."

"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."

"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."

"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pros

"The EPO, the ePolicy Orchestrator, is the best endpoint protection central management system."

"I have not received any complaints about the performance."

"The solution offers very good endpoint security."

"HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier."

"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."

"I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to others as it seems like one of the industry standards and is fairly stable."

"It is a really strong solution for endpoint security."

"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."

"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."

"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."

"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."

"It is hard to manage."

"The price for this EPP platform is expensive and could be improved."

"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."

"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity cons

"Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement."

"The interface is complex."

"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."

"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."

"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."

"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."

"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."

"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."

"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."

"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."

"The tool is not that expensive."

"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."

"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."

"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."

"Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pricing and cost advice

"The tool is affordable"

"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."

"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."

"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."

"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."

"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."

"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."

"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
