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.
Rick Cassel - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"I have found many of the features to be useful."
"When Intel acquired McAfee they worked on the protocol so that all vendors can work on the same platform. It's a very big improvement in McAfee. All McAfee products talk to each other. Other vendor's products can join this platform as well so it makes it more powerful on the enterprise side for McAfee."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is its extensive customization capability, which allows me to create and deploy policies autonomously, suiting my individual needs."
"The product is fairly reliable."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
 

Cons

"It didn't work well for some of the use cases. We have different use cases for each entity. Their support is also not good and needs improvement."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"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."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
"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 initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"Pricing is fair."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"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."
"The price of this product is good."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The pricing is high."
"It is relatively cheap."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
