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…
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

"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."
"The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
"It is very valuable in finding out unknown malware."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."
"The platform's most valuable features are AI capabilities and its quick updates."
"Technical support is excellent."
"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."
"We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye."
 

Cons

"It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues."
"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."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
"So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better."
"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."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."
"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 price is below average."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
