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.

Security suite has protected individual devices from threats, while installation and network features require improvements

BIG-IP is actually the LTM, Link Load Balancer, which comes with ASM, meaning Application Security Module. It consists of multiple modules, such as ASM, SWG, and a domain DNS manager. ZoneAlarm allows defining trusted and public networks, which helps maintain security in public Wi-Fi environments. It offers comprehensive protection, securing PCs against threats. Users do not experience any system slowdowns while scanning. Harmony Browser protects all your browsing activity and is bundled with Harmony Endpoint and Harmony Connect. It provides a small but effective security layer and sometimes comes packaged with the larger Harmony suite.

Other vendor's products can join this platform as well so it makes it more powerful on the enterprise side for McAfee."

"The solution is a reliable and mature product. Its reporting function is robust, and the user interface is easy to use. End users can create customized reports with detailed reporting for any computer and export them in PDF or other formats. This reporting capability is very robust."

"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."

"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."

"The extendability is great."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."

"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

"ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."
