Shahram Dehghani

Security Technical Manager at Modaberan Fanavari Pasargad

A robust solution that provides comprehensive protection for data centers, offering agentless security, powerful intrusion prevention, and a wide range of security features

The primary focus of data center security often revolves around serving customers who offer services to other clients within the data center. For example, if I operate a data center and provide security services, third-party customers might purchase virtual machine products within my data center. These products are automatically deployed, and we safeguard these virtual machines using intrusion prevention system features. This aspect is considered the most valuable part because when we set up these security policies, it's as if we're fortifying the entire infrastructure. It's not just about having good technical support; it's about having a robust IPS and comprehensive DOS prevention system on those operating systems. The advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server.

Comprehensive protection and seamless integration elevate security experience

A positive aspect of Trellix MOVE AntiVirus is that our biggest feature prevents users from installing USB drives. We don't have the issue of distributing viruses or transfer of files. They always track harmful files before they can enter the computer system. It protects against unnecessary use of external storage devices. It also gives protection to all the systems, on-premise or out of the premises, online, including the server. The server sends periodic updates to all the systems connected to it. We have administrative overhead as we have centralized management for Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all our computers that are currently using Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all their vital points. If they are online, offline, if they are being attacked by any viruses, anything that we need to take action upon, it will be on our centralized overview application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security."

"The monitoring in the management console allows us to find out what is going wrong, and it gets reports even before the user reports it."

"The real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection."

"The advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server."

"Good file integrity monitoring features."

"The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system."

"The granularity of applying the policies is valuable."

"The tool will then detect any anomalies, such as an intruder who has breached the network, which can trigger the system lockdown feature if it's enabled and meets the defined threshold."

More Symantec Data Center Security pros

"he initial setup is simple."

"Everything can be combined from the endpoint and server infrastructure security perspective."

"I have found McAfee MOVE AntiVirus more secure than other antivirus solutions."

"The protection on offer is very fast."

More Trellix MOVE AntiVirus pros

Cons

"There is room for improvement in enhancing its graphical user interface for a more user-friendly experience."

"The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better."

"This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine."

"Could have better reporting capabilities and better support."

"The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."

"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily."

"Adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus."

"A user or administrator making the policy in the DCS should have a very thorough knowledge of the operating system or policy making. You have to be very specific about the data structure."

More Symantec Data Center Security cons

"They could improve the monitoring and classification of the data features."

"The solution’s stability and licensing price could be improved."

"Sometimes, the updates don't happen successfully. The updates start, but they are not completed. Let's say there is a process that runs on the server-side every night, and it pushes the updates. Sometimes, these updates fail. I'm not sure whether it is a McAfee's problem or an internal problem with our systems. If this is really an issue with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus, McAfee can work on it and improve it in the next release. If it is an internal issue, I need to figure out why it is happening within the organization. We may need to take some technical support from McAfee to see what the problem is and then we need to get it fixed. At this point in time, all I know is that it happens sometimes."

"It would be ideal if the initial setup was a bit easier."

"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."

"The solution needs to be more secure."

"The solution could be cheaper. they should work to lower their pricing. It's too expensive right now."

"The solution must provide better pricing."

More Trellix MOVE AntiVirus cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a bit costly."

"Compared to some other solutions, such as CrowdStrike, Symantec is more expensive."

"It is notably more expensive when compared to other solutions."

"The solution could reduce the price of the solution. We are on an annual license."

"The solution was expensive earlier, but now the rates are cheaper."

"The license for McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is based on the number of users."

"The solution requires an annual license."

"The license fees are reasonable. It is a yearly licensing fee."

"The licensing depends on the number of devices secured by this product."

"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution could be lower."

"For McAfee, I think it's already paid until 2023 because it's added on with the Windows 10 license pricing from Dell. I had to pay it on the Dell website, which includes the licensing cost of Windows 10 and McAfee."
