Trellix EDR offers improved security and compliance but has mixed reviews on cost-effectiveness and management needs.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
4.9
SonicWall Capture Client support receives mixed reviews for its knowledgeability, with praised availability but criticized for slow response times.
Sentiment score
8.1
Trellix EDR customer service quality is inconsistent, with mixed reviews on response times, language barriers, and support effectiveness.
Partners can purchase single endpoints at prices equivalent to 1,000-endpoint deals, providing an advantage for managed security service provider partners.
While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels.
I have contracted support and also have an operating control so I can get various types of support.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score

SonicWall Capture Client offers scalable, flexible licensing and an easy interface, benefiting Latin American businesses expanding their user base.

Trellix EDR provides scalable solutions for businesses of all sizes, despite some concerns about operational issues and performance.
There are no restrictions on the scalability of SonicWall Capture Client.
SonicWall Capture Client is accessed via cloud-based management console.
The installation process is straightforward, requiring only five pilot installations to enable customers to complete the remaining installations independently.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.6
SonicWall Capture Client is stable and reliable for threat protection, but may slow systems due to high resource use.
Sentiment score
7.6
Trellix EDR is praised for stability and performance, but some browser and deployment issues have been noted.
 

Room For Improvement

SonicWall Capture Client requires performance improvements, a modern UI, and better integration to address resource impact, undetected vulnerabilities, and licensing issues.
Trellix EDR needs enhanced performance, integration, user interface, historical search, and streamlined management for better user experience.
One of the drawbacks is that I cannot use Advanced and Premier licenses within a single tenant, which can be problematic when users need to deploy different licenses.
A significant limitation is that SonicWall Capture Client cannot be installed on smartphones, as there is no mobile version available.
XDR cannot be used unless MDR services are purchased with SonicWall.
I am seeing, for workflows, some sort of ethical hacking to test our environment.
 

Setup Cost

SonicWall Capture Client offers cost-effective yearly licensing, but perceived value varies, with pricing challenges for small and medium businesses.
Trellix EDR pricing starts at $25,000, offers flexibility for startups, but advanced features and retention fees can increase costs.
SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike.
 

Valuable Features

SonicWall Capture Client offers rollback, SentinelOne integration, cross-OS support, robust protection, ease of use, and cost-effective scalability.
Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response provides scalable, automated cybersecurity with real-time monitoring, threat visualization, and seamless integration capabilities.
Machine learning is particularly effective due to SonicWall sandboxing's threat intelligence database of approximately 7.1 billion entries.
One is that users can use the sandbox of SonicWall, which is called Capture ATP for free.
I have spent efforts on training our managers and others - what can software do if the knowledge base is low?

Featured Reviews

Hesdi Triantono - PeerSpot reviewer
Has consistently delivered double-layer protection and simplified policy application while needing mobile compatibility and better MacOS support
A significant limitation is that SonicWall Capture Client cannot be installed on smartphones, as there is no mobile version available.Occasionally, the Sentinel engine becomes unresponsive, particularly when customers do not properly restart or shutdown their systems. This requires a hard restart after installation to resolve the issue. Installation on Mac OS can be challenging, requiring multiple attempts due to version compatibility requirements. We must ensure the SonicWall Capture Client version is stable for Mac OS. The RAM usage is higher compared to SentinelOne, utilizing approximately 150 megabytes of memory. This is a common concern from customers, and reducing RAM consumption would be beneficial.
CESARCASTRO - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancements needed for security alerts while ongoing training strengthens defenses
This year, I am going to improve some tools to be installed or maybe acquire some services to better manage our web services and work with my coworkers. Application fiber also needs attention. Nowadays I am making applications that are publicly seen on the Internet. I need some protection, possibly multi-factor authentication improvements. I am seeing, for workflows, some sort of ethical hacking to test our environment. Knowledge of everything, not only the product - maybe some kind of alerts - needs to emerge. I see the current ones as very low-tier, and they must improve.
