Featured Reviews

Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Carlos Snel - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows our IT department to easily analyze any connection issues
There is room for improvement regarding the price of Zscaler Client Connector, as it is one of the most expensive solutions available. Additionally, more data centers are required globally to reduce latency, especially in areas like South America and Africa, though this does not directly relate to the Client Connector.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The investigation and forensic analysis have been most helpful."
"It has improved my organization because it helps with visibility, in terms of security. We can see the actual attack and can contain it. The antivirus can detect that."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier."
"Trellix Endpoint Security has a full suite of DLP."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"Zscaler Client Connector is quite scalable, and I would rate its scalability as nine or ten out of ten."
"I'd rate the solution nine out of ten."
"The solution operates in the background seamlessly without the user noticing."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use."
"The main area for improvement is the integration with Microsoft Windows Hello, which includes Face ID or fingerprint-based authentication. Currently, they don't support either, so users have to type in the username and password."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"The product could be flexible and offer better pricing."
"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."
"There is room for improvement regarding the price of Zscaler Client Connector, as it is one of the most expensive solutions available."
"There is room for improvement regarding the price of Zscaler Client Connector, as it is one of the most expensive solutions available."
"The stability of Zscaler Client Connector needs improvement, as it often disconnects and reconnects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is costly."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
