Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security ( /categories/endpoint-protection-platform-epp ) 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

"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"The detection capability of Trellix Endpoint Security is higher than traditional antivirus solutions."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."
"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."
"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."
 

Cons

"I hope the solution can be used in cloud systems going forward."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"They have something called Managed Detection and Response. They get intel from their customers, and that intel is shared with the rest of FireEye's customers. I want to subscribe to their intel, but that is not available to us."
"We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product. The system also starts slowly in some instances. If for some reason this solution crashes, we could lose all our data."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"Sometimes, one might face issues with the scalability of the product. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement."
"The agent is very heavy, so we have to ensure that we have a lightweight agent for Windows systems."
"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."
"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"The product pricing is high."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"This product is costly."
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"The tool is affordable"
