A stable and scalable hybrid solution with easy setup
The solution is scalable. It has three levels. You have the presentation area that can be escalated to the balance sheet. You have the back-end area that can be escalated using higher viability to configure more application servers. Also, the area of storage can be increased. We usually cater to enterprise solutions but have small- and medium-sized customers. It starts with 25 users and goes up to 100s and 1000s.

Strong endpoint protection has simplified compliance and reduced effort for large user environments
One of the best features of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is its endpoint security, and I have been using it for the last four and a half to five years, so I can say this is one of the best EDR endpoint security solutions I have ever seen. The features that make Trellix Endpoint Security Platform stand out for me are ease of use and analytics, which I really appreciate the most. Trellix Endpoint Security Platform positively impacts my organization, ensuring we are compliant with SOC 2, HIPAA, and all other compliance requirements, so there are no issues with that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution has been quite good, and, overall, the features we need are available to us."
"Image creation and image analysis in one program, basically for ease of use."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"It is a very useful tool; it is worth buying irrespective of price."
"The solution is really good and competitively priced, so someone wishing to secure his enterprise or make use of it in an inexpensive fashion should do so."
"The response part of EDR was most valuable. We used that to separate the endpoint from the network. We utilized the solution during the instant response. We were also utilizing advanced malware detection capabilities, but we benefited the most from its help with the response."
"I have not faced any problems with scalability so far, but we are starting an upgrade or overhaul."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."
"The activation of features within ENS and the collection of threats into a single console is a strong point."
"We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."
 

Cons

"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"This is not the program I would suggest for a newbie using to learn. It is just too expensive for the full experience, and the student versions, while very good, are just for that, students."
"From a customer service standpoint, this is unacceptable."
"I suggest that if the mobile phone acquisition is embedded in the Encase law enforcement version, it would be very useful."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"On the next release, they should build an easier way to see a repair option within the McAfee icon on your system tray. If there was an issue, you should be able to contact the user or just right-click on "repair". That would be a very good feature to add. That could be a place of improvement, just adding that button, or customizing it."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
"The agent is very heavy, so we have to ensure that we have a lightweight agent for Windows systems."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"EnCase is an affordable solution."
"​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"This product is costly."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
