AhmedEl-Tayeb - PeerSpot reviewer
Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.
Shreyansh Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Our main antivirus tool and offers adaptive threat prevention tool
The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious and time consuming task. After raising the call onto the technical support portal, usually receive a notification after 24 hours. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to conclude and resolve the issue. If 24/7 online support or a phone line where we could speak directly with technical support for real-time troubleshooting, that would be very helpful. Licensing is another aspect where trellix should look into. Different purchases are grouped together in single user account get mixed up. Categorization of purchases and their grant numbers is not available to end user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
"HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
"The technical support services are good."
"The stability has been great."
"It is scalable and stable and the initial setup is the easiest part of using the product."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The threat scanning is excellent. It uses predictive technology and I can utilize attack data to help us fine-tune our systems and network infrastructure. This protects us against current and future attacks."
 

Cons

"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"On the next release, they should build an easier way to see a repair option within the McAfee icon on your system tray. If there was an issue, you should be able to contact the user or just right-click on "repair". That would be a very good feature to add. That could be a place of improvement, just adding that button, or customizing it."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"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."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
"Continued available training is important for people coming in to use it."
"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."
"MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint."
"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."
"Endpoint resource utilization causes high levels of instability and that is something that needs improvement."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"Search feature could be made more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"No comment."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
"It is based on an annual subscription."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."

It depends on what you want to achieve. With McAfee ENS you have complete coverage through McAfee solutions, that is, it has an AV engine (threat Protection), you have Advance Threat Protection (ATP), light control over browsers, and a firewall.  With MVISION Endpoint you add being able to manage Microsoft Defender from the MVISION ePO or EPO on-premise console. But the AV engine is Defender, not McAfee. So you depend on the potential and configuration you make of Defender.

The flexible manageability of McAfee Endpoint Security is one of our favorite aspects of this solution. You can deploy various components as desired with McAfee Endpoint Security, whereas many other solutions only offer an all-or-nothing policy. McAfee offers a prevention layer that detects signature values and prevents threats to the network. With McAfee Endpoint Security you have complete coverage through McAfee solutions, advanced threat protection (ATP), and light control over browsers, as well as a firewall. We would like to see better integration with 3rd party products, though. We also feel that resolution time should be faster and that McAfee Endpoint Security could do more to keep administration alerted to detected end-point threats. One of the best things we like about McAfee MVISION is how user-friendly and easy it is to use for the average person. It is stable and scalable and the technical support is excellent. The cloud-based security and data protection McAfee MVISION offers is extremely valuable, especially if you have many employees who are working remotely. You can only use McAfee MVISION with Windows 10, WIndows 2016, or above, which makes this solution kind of limiting. We would like to see a policy editing solution added to McAfee MVISION, which would make it a bit more flexible. Additionally, we have some concerns that the intrusion detection and intervention are not keeping pace with other available solutions. Conclusion Both of these solutions are McAfee, which is a widely known and trusted value-added brand. We felt McAfee Endpoint Security offered the most complete secure coverage within the McAfee ecosystem. The flexibility and centralized administration controls are better able to keep all of our computer systems safe from viruses and other intrusions. We also feel there is a strong commitment to keeping McAfee Endpoint Security up-to-date, reliable and secure.
