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.

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

"It is easy to use through interfaces and easy to configure each of the customizations we created based on the characteristics that we wanted."

"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."

"The solution really focused on giving more security than an antivirus."

More ZoneAlarm pros

Cons

"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."

"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."

"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."

"We would like to solution to offer better security."

"Patch management is unavailable"

"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."

"The price of the solution is high in Asia."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

"The solution's efficiency in threat containment and overall protection needs improvement."

"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."

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

"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."

"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."

"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."

"The support is not always so effective."

"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."

More ZoneAlarm cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is fair."

"The pricing is reasonable."

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

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

"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."
