Featured Reviews

Gary Herbstman - PeerSpot reviewer
Experienced reduced alert fatigue with streamlined notifications
We use Blackpoint Cyber MDR for our higher-end clients who need a higher level of control over security I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real. This feature ensures that I am notified only…
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"On my end, the most valuable feature of this solution is that I can install it and forget about it. After that, their SOC team takes over and they only call me when there's a problem."
"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"The solution also watches over Microsoft 365 and keeps a copy of logs."
"The solution is all encompassing and can incorporate email monitoring."
"Their SOC is phenomenal in not monitoring and responding and taking action."
"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the overall solution as a ten."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"Provides protection against threats."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is its extensive customization capability, which allows me to create and deploy policies autonomously, suiting my individual needs."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"The performance is good."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"The solution scales well."
 

Cons

"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"The interface could be more intuitive. More transparency is needed in the interface as a lot of details are hidden behind the scenes, making them difficult or impossible to access."
"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"The solution does not tie into other EDR products like CyberArk or CrowdStrike but that might be more useful."
"The interface could be more intuitive."
"The feature we keep asking for is a vulnerability scan."
"Some texts seem to report items as normal too quickly."
"The price of McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"The local technical support could be better."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"I hope the solution can be used in cloud systems going forward."
"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is in line with other products."
"The product pricing is high."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"No comment."
"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Pricing is fair."
