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

"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The new central console is better than the earlier one."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."
"I have not faced any problems with scalability so far, but we are starting an upgrade or overhaul."
"The product is quite user-friendly."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"Annual license fee is good"
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
