Featured Reviews

Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is a proven, robust, and cost-effective solution that protects the organization from different types of ransomware and attacks."
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
"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 solution is reliable."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
 

Cons

"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."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The local technical support could be better."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
