Davina Becker - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency
I can only speak to it on a personal level. If someone is considering it, they should test it on their own systems. I can't personally recommend it because each person has their own needs. While it may work for me as a malware antivirus solution, I can't recommend it to someone else who may have a different system or use case. I rate the overall solution 7.5 out of 10. Malwarebytes protects me against malware. If they fix the pricing model so it's not automatically charging me, the rating could improve. Until then, I can't give it an 8.
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security 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

"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"When Intel acquired McAfee they worked on the protocol so that all vendors can work on the same platform. It's a very big improvement in McAfee. All McAfee products talk to each other. Other vendor's products can join this platform as well so it makes it more powerful on the enterprise side for McAfee."
"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
 

Cons

"The product's stability needs improvement."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"I really hate the automatic rebuilding without even asking. It's just an annoyance that they should at least ask me, like a month before they bill me."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"You do not have access to all the features when you use the Trellix web interface. For example, you cannot do device or drive encryption from the web interface. Also, when we're working with customers, it's sometimes challenging to get sales support. Delays mean we might lose an opportunity. Lastly, Trellix lacks some documentation about custom features."
"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
"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."
"MVISION is intended as an enterprise product and it is priced like one. This solution is within the price range of competitors at the enterprise level."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
