Threat detection is effective, and the solution provides good control over device access, but it still needs better troubleshooting options for agent-related issues.

From an improvement perspective, I am looking for a way to troubleshoot situations where the endpoint agent becomes corrupted and requires reinstallation, as there is currently no option to resolve these issues without rebooting the system. I give it a rating of seven because, in today’s scenario, the portal is complicated to navigate. The Trellix Endpoint Security Platform dashboard is somewhat difficult to understand, and it takes considerable time to familiarize oneself with the tools and policies compared to other solutions. For on-premises deployment, I would also like to highlight that the architecture is quite complex, which is an area Trellix Endpoint Security Platform should consider improving.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."

"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."

"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."

"Trellix Endpoint Security is a proven, robust, and cost-effective solution that protects the organization from different types of ransomware and attacks."

"What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue. I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is."

"The extendability is great."

"The solution is easy to manage, easy to implement, easy to install, and the support is excellent."

"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

Cons

"The agent is very heavy, so we have to ensure that we have a lightweight agent for Windows systems."

"If there's a possibility for remote assistance or investigation support in the future, it would be beneficial. Currently, we use another remote software for such purposes. If this feature could be included in the next version, that would be an improvement. The feature is called Remote Administration. I'm somewhat satisfied, but there's an issue I recently encountered. When attempting to scan a suspected host machine, Symantec Endpoint Security did not provide any alerts. However, when we installed Malwarebytes and ran a scan, it detected a threat that wasn't identified by Symantec. We raised this concern with the team for resolution, and the investigation is still ongoing."

"Looking at the current ePolicy orchestrator, and the transition of most vendors to the cloud, they need to do an improvement with the current dashboard or the overall aesthetic of their GUI."

"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."

"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."

"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."

"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."

"The product could be flexible and offer better pricing."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."

"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."

"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."

"We pay for the license on an annual basis."

"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."

"No comment."

"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."

"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pricing and cost advice

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."

"The price is comparable."

"The product has average pricing."
