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

"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is its extensive customization capability, which allows me to create and deploy policies autonomously, suiting my individual needs."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"The initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security was straightforward."
"The product can be installed in almost any environment"
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."
"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."
"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."
 

Cons

"Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time."
"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."
"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"The price of this product is good."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"The tool is affordable"
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"I am happy with the pricing."
