Featured Reviews

Alexander Zhuravel - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.
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.

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

Pros

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."
"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less."
"The features we have found most valuable have been containment as well as the ability to triage agent activities."
"The solution provides a data view of the Alpha systems with Trellix installs and makes small changes to the central management console. Nothing on the endpoints themselves works, but it focuses more on the management side."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
 

Cons

"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"Sometimes, one might face issues with the scalability of the product. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement."
"The product is consolidating its portfolio into one product. It is difficult at the moment."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."
"It is an expensive solution."

"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"No comment."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"The pricing is reasonable."
