DEEPAK KUMAR PACHDEO DUBEY - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivers efficiency and agility with USB control limitations
One area where we lag is that, since we use everything from Heimdal, including XDR and other features, we also use the privilege manager feature called Elevation. What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off. I want to whitelist specific devices in the network, which I currently cannot do.
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Heimdal is a very agile and lightweight solution."
"As compared to multiple solutions I have used in the past, Heimdal is a very agile and lightweight solution."
"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"It's a stable solution with good performance."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is its extensive customization capability, which allows me to create and deploy policies autonomously, suiting my individual needs."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
 

Cons

"What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off."
"What we lack is granular USB control."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"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."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"The Linux support is very poor. I use base detection. Currently, they are providing malware protection and logon track features in Windows and Mac. These features aren't available in Linux. It will be helpful to extend these capabilities to Linux. We would also like assets grouping and device lock protection features, which are included in their roadmap."
"MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
