Technical consultant at a construction company with 51-200 employees
Protects server files deployed in the web tier but have poor support
Pros and Cons
- "HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier."
- "It is a bit technical. The user interface has some significant limitations, mainly when using HIPS on the server side, to protect files from being changed or deleted by hackers, users, or administrators."
What is our primary use case?
I'm working on a project for the Hong Kong library system under the Hong Kong government. They provide workstations in the library for citizens to access the Internet. The ENS needs to be installed on all the PCs in the library. Another part involves the CSWA for the server farm. They are upgrading the entire library system, including the rental system, book search, eBooks, multimedia, and other services. The CSWA modules are primarily for the backend servers, including Linux and Windows.
How has it helped my organization?
Detection and response functionality meet our requirements, but the support is poor.
What is most valuable?
HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier.
What needs improvement?
It is a bit technical. The user interface has some significant limitations, mainly when using HIPS on the server side, to protect files from being changed or deleted by hackers, users, or administrators. The UI only allows for the inclusion of files using wildcards.
For example, it can protect an entire directory or a subdirectory, but it doesn't let you select specific files within a directory.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) as an implementor for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We haven't had any system crashes or problems in most cases. SolidCore is not compatible with some kernels, which is causing problems. Endpoint, HIPS, and anti-theft are working fine so far.
I rate the solution’s stability as seven out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We use one ePO server to manage around four thousand endpoints, including servers. This single server effectively handles this load.
It is suitable for medium and large enterprises.
I rate the solution’s scalability as seven out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
Support is poor. A module called Solidcore needs to match with the OS kernel in one area. The support for this module has been slow because it doesn't match the latest OS. As a result, we haven't been able to upgrade our OS because McAfee does not support the latest version. We've also encountered issues where the product can't be upgraded or installed successfully. We're managing over 300 servers and 3,000 workstations. Upgrading has been a nightmare with this setup.
It provides a slow response. Sometimes, getting feedback takes a few days, and that is also not to the point.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy and straightforward. Determining specific modules and functions often involves a lot of trial and error. Deployment takes only a couple of days.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Network Security & Data Management Admin at Digitaltrack
An easy-to-deploy endpoint security tool that needs to improve its technical support
Pros and Cons
- "The initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security was straightforward."
- "The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
What is our primary use case?
In my company, we use Trellix Endpoint Security for its endpoint security capabilities. Wherever there is a need for someone to comply with ISMS, we deploy Trellix Endpoint Security over there and support them in maintaining it.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows our company to opt for single management for multiple products. The tool also supports DLP encryption or proxy can be managed by a single management console, which is a major advantage.
What needs improvement?
Trellix Endpoint Security doesn't support Mac devices. Trellix Endpoint Security doesn't offer full-fledged support for Linux.
In the future, I would like the product to support Mac and Linux.
When it comes to classification, Trellix has its own DLP solution. They do provide classification in Trellix Endpoint Security, but not at a full-fledged level. It would be good if Trellix Endpoint Security provided a full-fledged classification.
The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support. Technical support also lacks in providing proper solutions to issues.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trellix Endpoint Security for ten to twelve years. I use the solution's latest version. My company has a partnership with Trellix.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I rate the technical support below five out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used different products in the past. Since we are a consultant, we have to work with multiple vendors.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security was straightforward.
The solution is deployed on the hybrid cloud. Trellix Endpoint Security provides its tool as a SaaS product.
The deployment process can be done in around two hours.
Our company has around 40 engineers to deploy and manage the maintenance of the product.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product.
What other advice do I have?
The product is good, but that doesn't matter if the support is not proper.
I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use provided the support is good. If the support is not good, our company will have to state both the pros and cons of the product to its potential users, after which the customer can choose it if they find the pros to be favorable.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Useful for containment and taking a triage image
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
- "Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
What is our primary use case?
We build our own use cases and those provided by the vendor for specific upcoming attack scenarios. Configuring the rule set using Trellix Endpoint Security is very much flexible based on the IOCs.
How has it helped my organization?
Trellix Endpoint Security is good for doing containment immediately. We can get visibility of processes or services running all over the enterprise, where the agent gets information on a particular end-user system. Since Trellix Endpoint Security keeps the data for three months, we can get a complete picture of the files downloaded from the end user mission. So Trellix Endpoint Security is very helpful when you do forensics. The only drawback is that we cannot change its format, and there is no workaround currently.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute. It also has a dual containment feature. Trellix Endpoint Security is also useful for taking the triage image, which takes roughly thirty minutes. So it's pretty fast, and we have multiple configuration sets. We can precisely take a triage image based on what you want, like endpoint logs, antivirus logs, or the RAM.
What needs improvement?
Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it. Mutex is something like a malware user. Secondly, the solution should support multiple output formats for the triage image. Currently, the solution has only Mandiant format, where you can't use tools like volatility to analyze the memory image.
It would be good if Trellix Endpoint Security had a good visualization like other products, such as SentinelOne and Carbon Black.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trellix Endpoint Security for one year and six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a seven out of ten for stability because it crashes frequently and requires a lot of maintenance.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for scalability. We have plans to increase the usage of the solution in the future.
How was the initial setup?
I rate Trellix Endpoint Security an eight out of ten for ease of initial setup.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing.
What other advice do I have?
I am using the latest version of Trellix Endpoint Security. Using Trellix Endpoint Security depends upon the user's organizational needs. If their only concern is containing and taking the triage image, and if they are comfortable doing forensics with a deadline, then they can use Trellix Endpoint Security. But if some companies want to integrate their in-house or third-party tools, Trellix Endpoint Security is not a good option.
Overall, I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
