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 ( /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.

Cons

"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"The pricing could be improved."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"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."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"Some customers feel that the Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) agent consumes more memory and resources in their environment, which is a major issue we are facing."
