Sooraj Makkancherrry - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
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

"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"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."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"The solution is stable."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"The performance is good."
"What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue. I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is."
"The platform's most valuable features are AI capabilities and its quick updates."
"The detection capability of Trellix Endpoint Security is higher than traditional antivirus solutions."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"The performance is good."
"It's very stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"I would like to see more automation."
"Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"The tool could provide more advanced protection."
"The interface is complex."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"The product needs to reduce the usage of RAM and CPU."
"MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"​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."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"Pricing is fair."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"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."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
