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.

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

"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform. It is very straightforward."
"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 gives all the information in a clear response."
"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."
"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."
"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"I have found the most valuable features to be the ability to manage the solution from anywhere and having an overview of the companies security."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."
"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."
"McAfee EndPoint Security has a lot of good features that work well if they are implemented properly."
 

Cons

"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
"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."
"Ad hoc higher-level reporting to senior management can be improved or can be implemented. That's definitely an area of improvement that they need to focus on."
"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor."
"There can be problems with the EDI."
"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"I feel it is a shame that I cannot create groups of groups with inheritance."
"It would be a lot easier if I could add multiple user accounts within a single device."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"The solution consumes a lot of end user memory and CPU. Trellix doesn't really focus much on the anti-malware side."
"The resolution time should be faster."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."
"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
