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."
"I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention."
"Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business provides central management for protection of devices, mitigating attacks effectively."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"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 reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"The solution is stable."
"It is scalable and stable and the initial setup is the easiest part of using the product."
"The independent modules are very good."
"Technical support is always available and very helpful."
 

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."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is below average."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"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."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"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."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
