Featured Reviews

Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Bala_Krishna - PeerSpot reviewer
Security suite has protected individual devices from threats, while installation and network features require improvements
BIG-IP is actually the LTM, Link Load Balancer, which comes with ASM, meaning Application Security Module. It consists of multiple modules, such as ASM, SWG, and a domain DNS manager. ZoneAlarm allows defining trusted and public networks, which helps maintain security in public Wi-Fi environments. It offers comprehensive protection, securing PCs against threats. Users do not experience any system slowdowns while scanning. Harmony Browser protects all your browsing activity and is bundled with Harmony Endpoint and Harmony Connect. It provides a small but effective security layer and sometimes comes packaged with the larger Harmony suite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
"The solution is stable."
"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 tool has contributed to improving our security posture. While it's just one part of our overall solution, it plays a crucial role. As we continue to evolve, we anticipate it becoming even more important alongside other aspects like network behavior and additional metrics."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Technical support is excellent."
More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros
"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."
"It is easy to use through interfaces and easy to configure each of the customizations we created based on the characteristics that we wanted."

"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."
"It gives us security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way."
"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."

More ZoneAlarm pros
 

Cons

"The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, I want everything in the solution to be free."
"The product could be flexible and offer better pricing."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons
"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."
"The support is not always so effective."
"ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."
"Some of our users say that the interface is a little bit outdated for 2020, and want it to be more modern and cozy."
"The solution's efficiency in threat containment and overall protection needs improvement."
"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."
"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."

More ZoneAlarm cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"I am happy with the pricing."
