Melvin Ong - PeerSpot reviewer
Has plug-and-play capability once configured and good reporting system
The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good. The most improved feature of asset auditing is its physical logging of all software. This allows us to understand what software and applications are installed on endpoints. We can easily check which software applications are installed in the network infrastructure during client processing or audits.
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.

Pros

"The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good. The most improved feature of asset auditing is its physical logging of all software. This allows us to understand what software and applications are installed on endpoints. We can easily check which software applications are installed in the network infrastructure during client processing or audits."
"My total rating for Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a ten out of ten."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"It is a really strong solution for endpoint security."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"The EPO, the ePolicy Orchestrator, is the best endpoint protection central management system."
"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to be more user-friendly."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"Continued available training is important for people coming in to use it."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."
"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"Pricing is fair."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
