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

"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"The detection capability of Trellix Endpoint Security is higher than traditional antivirus solutions."
"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."
"It is very valuable in finding out unknown malware."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."
"The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
 

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."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
"Endpoint resource utilization causes high levels of instability and that is something that needs improvement."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"From an improvement perspective, I want everything in the solution to be free."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"It is based on an annual subscription."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
