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.
Nagendra Nekkala - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly stable solution that protects computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers
ZoneAlarm doesn't require much maintenance. You only need to update the application when there are any latest updates. ZoneAlarm is deployed on-cloud in our organization. With an increase in the bring your own device concept, ZoneAlarm should be part of every device to help us make the operational work very easy. Overall, I rate ZoneAlarm a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to use."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"Technical support is always available and very helpful."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is a proven, robust, and cost-effective solution that protects the organization from different types of ransomware and attacks."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"The product is easy to use."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The solution is stable."
"It is easy to use through interfaces and easy to configure each of the customizations we created based on the characteristics that we wanted."
"It gives us security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way."
"The solution really focused on giving more security than an antivirus."
"The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me."
"It is quick and easy to configure."
"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."
"The product's most valuable feature is the detection engine due to its ability to identify threats."
"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"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."
"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
"The local technical support could be better."
"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."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."
"ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."
"The support is not always so effective."
"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."
"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."
"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."
"The solution's efficiency in threat containment and overall protection needs improvement."
"Some of our users say that the interface is a little bit outdated for 2020, and want it to be more modern and cozy."

"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"No comment."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
