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.

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

"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."

"The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less."

"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."

"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."

"The independent modules are very good."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."

More ZoneAlarm pros

Cons

"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us."

"The local technical support could be better."

"The agent is very heavy, so we have to ensure that we have a lightweight agent for Windows systems."

"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."

"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."

"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."

"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."

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

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."

"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."

"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."

"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."

"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."

"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."

"ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."

More ZoneAlarm cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."

"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."

"It is reasonably priced."

"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."

"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."

"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."

"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."

"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is reasonable, with a yearly renewal license costing seventy dollars."

"We use the free version of the software, but it can be upgraded to the paid Extreme Security edition."

"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for ZoneAlarm, which is cheap."

"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."

"This is a freeware product and I recommend using it."
