User-friendly and straightforward
I use Trellix IPS to find and fix security issues. This involves getting alerts about vulnerabilities in financial systems and sharing information with a partner organization in Sri Lanka. We also use Trellix IPS to spot other vulnerabilities and then block harmful data.  The solution has been…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There's a good dashboard you can drill down into. It helps you easily locate intrusions and the source of attacks."
"The threat intelligence updates are very accurate."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a good product for dealing with DDoS attacks and for the inspection of network traffic."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"The product is worth the investment."
"Cloud IPS integration is seamless, and it uses a Zero Trust model. It also simplifies overall user access management."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The best feature is that Zscaler allows for a separation between cloud applications and URL filtering. For example, under the cloud application segment, I can bypass Microsoft Office 365 without the need to add URLs manually. It's one click, so that's handy."
"The product's most valuable feature is complete SSL inspection."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy in comparison with other solutions."
 

Cons

"There are limited resources for configuration guidance."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution could improve some aspects of detection."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
"Some of the documentation is not as straightforward as it could be."
"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
"The area of concern where the tool needs improvement is how the product prompts users at a network level that helps prevent any wireless network attacks through alerts and notifications."
"They have given limited free access for a year. Instead, they should increase the file size and give limited free access for around two months. It will allow engineers to evaluate the product."
"When it comes to scalability, the IPsec could be improved."
"We recently had a significant issue with Zscaler. I think they have too many customers and some of their connection edge nodes went down because there were too many requests. I think they aren't scaling enough to keep up with the demand in some areas. That's one thing they should improve."
"There is always room for improvement."
"We encounter issues sharing IP addresses with other companies using the software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is competitively priced."
"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten."
"The product is not affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"The software has become more expensive at present."
"Zscaler has so far been solely responsible for all the sales we have done with it, so it would be more suited than us to address any issues concerning the pricing."
