Featured Reviews

AtulChaurasia - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable platform with intuitive features for detecting malicious files
The initial setup process is straightforward. We have to install the agent, create a package, and deploy it on servers. It has a prebuilt console managed by the cloud team of Cybereason. We don't have to worry about the console and concentrate on endpoint implementation. It takes ten days to deploy it on 10,000 devices.
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

"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Cybereason's threat hunting and investigation are the most valuable features. Threat hunting is a user-friendly feature that keeps you safe. Investigation offers an added value that I haven't seen with other EDR services. It allows you to find specific policy problems within your environment."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform. It is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the capability of the command used by the machine so that we see the kind of performance that is running."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform."
"The solution is efficient."
"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"It's easy to use."
"The activation of features within ENS and the collection of threats into a single console is a strong point."
"Trellix Endpoint Security seems to do a good job in terms of protecting my infrastructure from malware."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"The new central console is better than the earlier one."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
 

Cons

"Reporting could be a bit more granular so that we had the ability to check regions and countries. I just noticed that, for instance, if I look at our servers, it's either "contained" or it's "not contained". I don't have the option, for instance, to look at countries. It only allows me to look at users as one big group."
"What needs to improve in Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response and what I'd like to see in its next release is a centralized dashboard that allows you to view what is there, similar to what's on Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager: a beautiful display and reporting. Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response has to start with the compliance, the homepage, etc. Everything should be there and should be customizable. The options should be there. The tool is very good currently, but visibility for IT administrators is lacking and needs to be worked on."
"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."
"There can be problems with the EDI."
"I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping."
"It initially took some time to deploy."
"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
"Cybereason does not have sandbox functionality."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."
"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."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."
"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."
"The pricing is manageable."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"The product pricing is high."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"Pricing is fair."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
