Correlates incidents, allows for quicker identification and helps prioritize investigations
The only challenge is, and that’s where we come into play, it’s a pretty high-tech platform. So, it’s difficult for small and medium-sized organizations to manage it on their own. It’s a very complex system. It requires a lot of expertise. All my guys who work on it have gone through certification from Stellar itself. There are three different certifications that you need to complete. Only then are you certified by Stellar to work on it. It’s a very complex platform. Not everyone can use it. A simple IT engineer or system admin won’t be able to handle it because it’s quite complex. You need to have an understanding of the industry, the subject, and the tool. So, just purchasing this tool or license and then using it on your own would be very difficult to configure and manage on a day-to-day basis. The pricing model is not suitable for small and medium companies, particularly small companies. The minimum pricing model they have is suitable for companies with more than one thousand users. So, if someone has 50 to 100 users, like typical small companies, it’s difficult for them because the cost involved is high. Stellar would charge you for those thousand users, but you do not need all those users. So what are they going to do? I guess Stellar does not want to target small companies directly and maybe relies on resellers and MSPs like us to sell it. So, that is something I would recommend changing. Otherwise, it’s a great tool, but because of the pricing model, small companies are unable to leverage the advantage of this beautiful tool. So, the pricing model should be suitable for small and medium businesses. The product currently has vulnerability monitoring and everything. But if they could also do something about vulnerability management and maybe patch management, that would be nice.

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

"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"The initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security was straightforward."
"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."
"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The features we have found most valuable have been containment as well as the ability to triage agent activities."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
 

Cons

"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"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."
"It would be a lot easier if I could add multiple user accounts within a single device."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s a single license platform."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
