Dinesh Venkates - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective device management, enhance threat detection and smooth integration
I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being easy. Initially, the deployment took 15 days for the pilot phase, and then another 15 days for production. However, the actual deployment itself only took 15 days, as it was preconfigured. So it took around one month in total. Stakeholder approval caused a delay, but the actual deployment for the facility department was only 15 days. No maintenance is required because everything is associated. It's a cloud solution, so we only need to modify applications for the services. So, 99.9% of the time, it's working fine.
Shreyansh Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Our main antivirus tool and offers adaptive threat prevention tool
The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious and time consuming task. After raising the call onto the technical support portal, usually receive a notification after 24 hours. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to conclude and resolve the issue. If 24/7 online support or a phone line where we could speak directly with technical support for real-time troubleshooting, that would be very helpful. Licensing is another aspect where trellix should look into. Different purchases are grouped together in single user account get mixed up. Categorization of purchases and their grant numbers is not available to end user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features."
"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and as simple as CrowdStrike."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"Trellix Endpoint Security has a full suite of DLP."
"The response part of EDR was most valuable. We used that to separate the endpoint from the network. We utilized the solution during the instant response. We were also utilizing advanced malware detection capabilities, but we benefited the most from its help with the response."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to others as it seems like one of the industry standards and is fairly stable."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The most valuable features of McAfee MVISION Endpoint are advanced threat protection, web filtering, and removable storage devices in the DLP."
"The setup is not that complex. It takes five to ten minutes to set up."
"What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue. I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is."
 

Cons

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The tool's drawback is that it fails to offer support for Linux."
"The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
"Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing."
"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."
"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."
"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."
"They have something called Managed Detection and Response. They get intel from their customers, and that intel is shared with the rest of FireEye's customers. I want to subscribe to their intel, but that is not available to us."
"Looking at the current ePolicy orchestrator, and the transition of most vendors to the cloud, they need to do an improvement with the current dashboard or the overall aesthetic of their GUI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not an averagely priced tool."
"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
"I rate the product price as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"The product pricing is high."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
