Chad Kliewer - PeerSpot reviewer
We can make more informed decisions on whether an action is malicious
The ease of use and dashboards are improving. We came in at a time when they were developing a new dashboard screen. Therefore, we have had some confusing times between the old and new dashboards. Knowing how the new one works, I have seen vast improvements with it. While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper. They are improving on this because I have seen some improvements in the user interface that helps with this. Part of it was moving two different screens into one, merging the two together. It is very good, but it is very technically detailed and would be harder for an entry-level person to decipher. However, improvements are being made. It leverages indicators of behavior to help us remediate faster against attacks. Sometimes, I wish there was more detail on why they consider it malicious.

Enhancements needed for security alerts while ongoing training strengthens defenses
This year, I am going to improve some tools to be installed or maybe acquire some services to better manage our web services and work with my coworkers. Application fiber also needs attention. Nowadays I am making applications that are publicly seen on the Internet. I need some protection, possibly multi-factor authentication improvements. I am seeing, for workflows, some sort of ethical hacking to test our environment. Knowledge of everything, not only the product - maybe some kind of alerts - needs to emerge. I see the current ones as very low-tier, and they must improve.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform. It is very straightforward."
"For me, the technical support is good."
"They do a very good job of providing multi-stage visualizations of malicious operations that immediately show all attack details across all devices and users. Since it is MalOp-centric model, you can see if there has been a similar operation across multiple machines. If it is the same thing appearing on multiple machines, you see all the machines and users affected in one screen."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"We didn't have the visibility that we now have. It has increased our visibility by a lot. So, we put a lot more time into really looking at our environment and what is happening throughout our different networks. It has increased our visibility by around fivefold."
"The solution is efficient."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"When Trellix detects some threats, the device is isolated in a quarantine zone for examination."
"Trellix has a user-friendly interface."
"The product provides a one-click recovery of encrypted files."
"What we're using the most and what we found valuable in McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response are Web Control, Advanced Threat Protection, and Threat Prevention features."
"The most useful features are behavior monitoring, DLP, and access control. The automation has gotten much better in the last two years than when it was McAfee. It works better now and integrates more smoothly."
"The investigation and rule detection feature of the solution has proven most useful for our company"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its area for threat detection."
"Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) offers endpoint protection and helps collect information while also allowing users to investigate malicious files in an IT environment...It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping."
"There can be problems with the EDI."
"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"It initially took some time to deploy."
"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
"Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts."
"The product's reporting isn't great."
"The searching capabilities for the IOCs can be further improved"
"I'd like the tool to become more like an XDR, with one management system and endpoint activation."
"The dashboard and reporting features are not so user-friendly or intuitive, so they need some work."
"I need some protection, possibly multi-factor authentication improvements."
"The solution's downside stems from the fact that Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and McAfee MVISION Endpoint are not combined into a single solution, so from an improvement perspective, they need to be combined into a single solution."
"The alert feature of McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response needs improvement because for you to get the alerts, you have to log on to the portal. What my company needs is a tool that sends you alerts. For example, if it detects a threat on your machine, it should send you an alert. My company gets the alerts instead from the antivirus software rather than the EDR. If you want to see the alerts on McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response, you have to connect to the system manually. Another area for improvement in the tool is the reporting. My company needs weekly and monthly reports about the alerts, but you can't extract reports from McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response, so a decision was made to move to another EDR solution, particularly Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, next month. My company tested Microsoft Defender for Endpoint via a POC for one to three months. The resource usage of McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is also an area for improvement because it consumes a lot of memory. For example, during the on-demand scan, you can't work because of the high CPU usage. You need to schedule the scans. McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response has a lot of modules, but my company doesn't use all modules."
"Trellix does not support Linux and Mac."
"The main drawbacks are resources and processing time, as it consumes a lot of CPU and RAM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The pricing is manageable."
"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."
"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is reasonable in terms of cost. It's a tool my company has been using for a few years now. It costs $25,000 to $30,000 for six hundred users."
"Pricing is a problem in South Africa. It could be cheaper here. The rand-to-dollar exchange rate makes it expensive for us. A 25 dollar endpoint cost becomes quite significant when converted to rand."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is not that expensive, but it's not something that a startup could buy. Pricing for it is for midsized businesses. There's an additional payment if you want data retention for more than thirty days. They gave us data retention for thirty days. Then if you want longer data retention, they have the paid option for a three-month data retention period and for a one-year data retention period."
"The cost is okay, compared to other products."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Speaking about the price, you must use the product to find the product's cost for you."
"The price is reasonable."
