Executive SummaryUpdated on Sep 21, 2025

Trellix Endpoint Security Platform and OpenText Core Endpoint Protection compete in the endpoint security category. Users seem more satisfied with Trellix due to its comprehensive suite and central management features, even though its pricing is higher than OpenText Core.

Features: Trellix offers advanced threat prevention, encryption, and seamless management with ePolicy Orchestrator. Its integration with other security solutions enhances enterprise capabilities. OpenText Core is known for its lightweight efficiency and quick deployment, though it lacks some advanced functionalities and prioritizes speed and low resource usage.

Room for Improvement: Trellix needs to enhance complex setup procedures and support response times while reducing system resource consumption. OpenText Core could benefit from improved detailed reporting, enhanced threat response capabilities, and better mobile support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Trellix supports hybrid environments but faces challenges with complex deployment and needs accelerated response times post-McAfee-FireEye merger. OpenText Core, focused on hybrid and public cloud solutions, excels in seamless deployment and has strong customer support, both receiving high satisfaction ratings.

Pricing and ROI: Trellix's higher pricing is justified by its robust features, providing good ROI with comprehensive protection. OpenText Core is a cost-effective option with affordable pricing, seen as budget-friendly. Trellix offers significant savings in managing and securing large environments, emphasizing comprehensive protection.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"Speed"

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."

"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."

"I have found many of the features to be useful."

"The activation of features within ENS and the collection of threats into a single console is a strong point."

"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."

"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."

"I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to others as it seems like one of the industry standards and is fairly stable."

"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."

"The technical support services are good."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"The solution can be expensive."

"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."

"We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product. The system also starts slowly in some instances. If for some reason this solution crashes, we could lose all our data."

"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."

"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."

"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."

"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."

"They could provide better integration capabilities for the product with other services."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"No comment."

"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."

"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."

"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."

"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."

"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."

"It is based on an annual subscription."

"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
