Easy to use and competitively priced
Honestly, the product needs to continue the way it is, and I feel that everything will be fine. I haven't had any reasons to complain about the product. The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model. In the future, I want the product to offer MDM. It can allow me to manage my mobile device more efficiently and effectively. Currently, there is a need for a separate license to be added to Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response to be able to use the MDM part. If both are bundled up under the same license, the administration part can be made easier.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are that it is easy to connect and global settings are good."
"A great feature of this solution is that it is very well-integrated with antivirus software. Other ADR solutions are implemented as single technologies and are not integrated with the provider, but Symantec offers AV plus ADR."
"The pricing is good."
"It is mostly used for malware detection and antivirus purposes."
"The security is good."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is its ability to conduct large scans on the endpoints without affecting the network."
"The interface is quite easy to use."
"The Detection vulnerability is very effective."
"The investigation and rule detection feature of the solution has proven most useful for our company"
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the solution's technical support team a nine and a half or ten out of ten."
"Trellix has a user-friendly interface."
"What we're using the most and what we found valuable in McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response are Web Control, Advanced Threat Protection, and Threat Prevention features."
"The dashboard makes it easier and more effective to analyze data."
"When Trellix detects some threats, the device is isolated in a quarantine zone for examination."
"The product provides a one-click recovery of encrypted files."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its area for threat detection."
 

Cons

"Reporting is a major issue, as it is not user friendly."
"The solution needs to provide better integration."
"One potential area for improvement in Symantec EDR is the reporting engine."
"A significant deterioration in customer support."
"They need to improve their cloud presence."
"The Symantec portfolio is not big enough to cover the organization in all 360 degrees."
"That's why I wouldn't recommend it for other systems. It works only with SAP clients. That's why I'm giving it a six. It would get higher if it worked on all networks without the help of SAP."
"It would be nice to see more granular timeline analysis."
"The endpoints and utilization are too high, which impacts the production activity."
"The dashboard is split across different platforms. For example, if you want information on Incident Detection, you have to access one dashboard, and for DLP reporting, there's a separate platform. This fragmentation means you can't access everything from a single dashboard."
"The searching capabilities for the IOCs can be further improved"
"The solution's downside stems from the fact that Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and McAfee MVISION Endpoint are not combined into a single solution, so from an improvement perspective, they need to be combined into a single solution."
"I need some protection, possibly multi-factor authentication improvements."
"Trellix needs to focus on gaining traction with partners and building trust among users."
"For Spanish users, it is necessary to have a knowledge base specifically designed for them, which is currently not available."
"The main drawbacks are resources and processing time, as it consumes a lot of CPU and RAM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to the tools of competitors, Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is a cheaply priced product."
"We pay around $100,000 for 5000 licenses every year."
"The price is okay, but it really depends on the customer's requirements."
"The more devices we have the more expensive it becomes, which is where the challenge is."
"It's a yearly subscription."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The price is really high and it should be lower."
"The product is cheap."
"The licensing costs attached to the solution are very easy to manage. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs."
"The cost is okay, compared to other products."
"The price is reasonable."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is always high."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Speaking about the price, you must use the product to find the product's cost for you."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is reasonable in terms of cost. It's a tool my company has been using for a few years now. It costs $25,000 to $30,000 for six hundred users."
