Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security ( /categories/endpoint-protection-platform-epp ) 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"The most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security include its protection capabilities such as DNS and endpoint security, DNS threat prevention, as well as advanced threat prevention."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."
"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."
"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"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."
"There is room to improve with scalability."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"The solution needs to improve its virtual patching capabilities. One area where it could improve is by offering a patch management solution bundled with its security products. This would make it even more competitive against solutions like Kaspersky that offer this feature."
"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."
"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is fair."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"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."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"The tool is affordable"
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
