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.

Pros

"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"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."

The console itself holds significant value, accessible through a browser and allowing remote actions via cloud login."

"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"The initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security was straightforward."
