It's a complete solution package
When I go into the portal, I can see how many endpoints are enrolled or how many of them are active in place. I can see the current number of threats that are there in the organization. How many threats have been identified, etc. I can see which endpoint the critical events are coming in from a security aspect.
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

"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's a complete solution package."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"The compatibility with a variety of laptops is our biggest advantage."
"Dynamic Application Containment."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is easy to manage, easy to implement, easy to install, and the support is excellent."
"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."
"The solution scales well."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"We'd like better UI on the management screen."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"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 agent is very heavy, so we have to ensure that we have a lightweight agent for Windows systems."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is six out of ten."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"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."
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"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."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
