GANESAN K - PeerSpot reviewer
Distributors highly benefit from advanced data monitoring and seamless integration features
The Machine Learning capability could be improved, particularly in data discovery. When given sensitive data expressions, the system retrieves files that are not always related. The system should adhere strictly to the given expression rather than just focusing on keywords within the expression. In endpoint features, while the detection rate is good, there could be improvements in remediation and rollback solutions during attacks. Other solutions now include such options since providing 100% security is impossible. The flexibility varies across environments. Enterprise customers find the product performs well without affecting their data, with scans running as scheduled. However, SMB customers experience some performance issues during scanning. Since EDR is integrated, users must access the EDR console to check endpoint detections. It would be beneficial if this functionality were incorporated within the EPO console, as the current threat graphs link doesn't display endpoint threat graphs.

Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management
I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."
"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do. It is fairly simple to use compared to Proofpoint."
"Trellix DLP offers many features, using EDR, EPP, disk encryption, and other features."
"Trellix's technical support deserves a perfect rating, and I would rate it ten out of ten compared to other solutions."
"The solution is stable and does not have glitching issues."
"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."
"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"The tool's scalability is good."
"It is a stable solution."
"Yes, it is very stable. I have never seen it go down, not once."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to establish connectivity for remote users and remote endpoints. It offers a high level of granularity compared to typical VPNs, which also encapsulate a lot of I/O."
"The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing."
"Zscaler Private Access is a platform that eliminates the complexity of VPN configuration."
"The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing."
"What I find most valuable in Zscaler Private Access is that it's a VPN. Its connectivity as a VPN is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"It's not very user-friendly for a beginner, so it would be easier if the platform or console were manageable or user-friendly. The dashboard could be simplified."
"The main challenge we face is with our on-premises Trellix DLP implementation. While we can push the agent, we cannot apply the policy on Azure systems."
"I would rate the solution seven out of ten based on my last experience within the last six months. It's a bit of a fallback, and I know they are working on improving scalability."
"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."
"The main issue I have currently is with technical support."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
"Zscaler CASB breaks down at times."
"The interface needs a bit of work."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP needs to improve its compatibility with other security tools."
"There is some issue while accessing the portal. It takes too long."
"There are some performance issues with the solution once the module addition begins"
"Sometimes, support takes time since the solution has some bugs that need fixing."
"The menu for the ZIA portal could be organized a little bit differently. The most-used modules should be at the top of the menus, not somewhere near the bottom, some of them are not organized well in my opinion."
"The connectivity monitoring part should be included in the core license without any extra charges."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."
"It has been relatively reasonable for what it does. Some of the additional license costs based on the advanced next-generation firewall functions are quite high, and they should have certain features ready and available as a baseline rather than having to purchase additional licenses for it. Overall, the cost seems reasonable."
"Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"In the long run, cloud services are not inherently costly."
"The pricing is quite high, especially when it comes to the gateway."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP is moderately priced. We pay around 2 million rupees per year."
"It's an affordable solution"
"As per industry leads, Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"My company is a Zscaler Private Access partner, so the customers pay for the license fees."
