Useful endpoint visibility, high availability, and helpful support
Datto EDR is used for detection and response for endpoints The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints. The solution could improve by having more deployment methods. I have been using Datto Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) for approximately three years. Datto…
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"I have not faced any problems with scalability so far, but we are starting an upgrade or overhaul."
"The product can be installed in almost any environment"
"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The solution is easy to manage, easy to implement, easy to install, and the support is excellent."
"The investigation and forensic analysis have been most helpful."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
"The solution can be expensive."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."
"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
