Decreased our security alerts without impacting employees' work
I can't say that there is one specific feature that is most valuable. It's the overall platform that is well-suited to our needs. It's something that is different from a lot of other products or platforms in the marketplace. It provides a single console for security policy and management. That is somewhat important because we used to have other products where you would have to log in to individual appliances, devices, or clusters. Having one spot to log in to or one area to go to for doing different tasks and viewing data sources, just makes it easier from a user perspective. Also, the fact that it's invisible to our end-users and doesn't affect their work is very important. Most companies don't want to have added friction or impact on their users. In addition, the combination of user-friendliness for admins, and security for the organization, works well. As a cloud-hosted solution, it provides ease of use.

Endpoint protection has strengthened network control and has simplified global threat response
In my opinion, the best features Trellix Collaboration Security offers include the firewall, the on-access scan, and the ability to obtain daily signatures for the latest malware. These daily signatures, referred to as content, ensure that we are protected against the most recent malware threats recognized by other companies. Another feature I particularly enjoy is the capability to maintain different locations that can communicate with the fabric, or DXL fabric as I refer to it, allowing me to create something akin to an EDR for immediate responses to resolve issues. The DXL fabric has helped my organization by enabling communication between different locations, such as one in Europe, another in South America, and one here. This fabric communicates with a broker that interacts with the TIE servers, which maintain the reputation of files, certificates, and known signatures from various regions including Europe, South America, and Canada. When something suspicious occurs, such as a certificate appearing malicious on an application, I can easily click and indicate that I trust this file, and through the fabric, I can apply an exclusion for that application across all locations simultaneously. Other features I find valuable include the SSO integration with Trellix EPO, specifically SAML SSO, allowing people not to have to manage usernames and passwords if they already utilize an SSO service for SAML; I consider this functionality to be quite beneficial.

Cons

"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
"Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved."
"There are several features, such as supporting web technologies, that the company is working on implementing in the platform. There are a lot of backend web technologies in use on various websites, for example, two-way audio/video and WebGL, for which support may not be fully implemented in the product."
"There is a need for improved integration with totally different products, such as a rapid server."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"I observe that the return on investment is hindered by the lack of adequate training opportunities, with Trellix's own training being quite costly, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 dollars, which many small or medium-sized businesses cannot afford."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"Sometimes, integration can be challenging, impacting its stability, which is why I rate it a five out of ten."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"Trellix Collaboration Security can be improved by making the reporting and analysis tools more detailed."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
"The cost is very high."
"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
