Good customers support and offers good inventory management
It maintains our security posture I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention. It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues. I have experience with this solution.  I have contacted the support team. They are good…
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

"Kaspersky offers a large number of robust default policies, such as USB blockage. I really like this feature."
"Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business provides central management for protection of devices, mitigating attacks effectively."
"I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention."
"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
"McAfee EndPoint Security has a lot of good features that work well if they are implemented properly."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
 

Cons

"One significant difference is the lack of on-site support from Kaspersky. Symantec has a local team in Pakistan with representatives I can contact directly for troubleshooting and support. On the other hand, Kaspersky doesn't provide the same level of local resources. If I have an issue, I need to draft an email and send it to a Kaspersky help center."
"The deployment process could be clarified, specifically around the ability to push the security application to clients from the central servers, as we faced issues with this."
"It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is below average."
"The tool is affordable"
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
