Central management that enhances endpoint protection with helpful support
Pros and Cons
  • "The EPO, the ePolicy Orchestrator, is the best endpoint protection central management system."
  • "The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We use Trellix Endpoint Security for endpoint protection, including virus protection for desktops, laptops, and servers. The solution includes special dedicated modules, such as those for Microsoft SharePoint security.

How has it helped my organization?

Trellix Endpoint Security helps us support and secure a large number of endpoints efficiently. We have a lot of installations, supporting up to twenty thousand endpoints. With the central management system EPO, it has significantly improved our ability to manage security across these devices.

What is most valuable?

The EPO, the ePolicy Orchestrator, is the best endpoint protection central management system. 

Trellix Endpoint Security has a lot of special small modules that I like very much, such as access protection, adaptive threat prevention, exclusion capabilities, and logging capabilities. Together with disk encryption or file encryption, it provides a comprehensive solution.

What needs improvement?

The detection and response capabilities need to be improved. The product is not sharp enough in catching viruses, and we often have to use additional components alongside the pure endpoint security. Symantec, for example, might be better in this area.

A reliable and easy-to-deploy product that protects an organization’s network from malware
Pros and Cons
  • "The product is fairly reliable."
  • "The product is not easy to use."

What is most valuable?

The product is fairly reliable. I have been using the DLP functionality a lot. It blocks all USB-connected devices but still allows charging external devices like phones. It keeps out any malware. It does a good job of protecting our network as an enterprise solution. I mainly use it as an antivirus and DLP solution.

What needs improvement?

The product is not easy to use. Moving around in it is cumbersome. I have heard other users saying that it is cumbersome to find things. Creating and deploying policies with DLP can be really cumbersome. It can be difficult if we don’t know how to use it. Sometimes, we have difficulty in communicating with clients. Sometimes, we have to go through troubleshooting to fix it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for 17 to 18 years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the product’s stability an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

It's pretty straightforward to deploy the product as an enterprise solution. I create a System Tree, and I break everything out between VMs, workstations, servers, and VLANs.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on investment.

What other advice do I have?

I would definitely tell people to try the tool. They must go through and test out different solutions. Trellix Endpoint Security is fairly easy to use and manage for an enterprise solution. I'm in the process of getting more visibility for my service desk. The ability to lock it back down and only give what I want the service desk to see is valuable because it gives it a little bit more visibility without affecting what I've done as an enterprise admin. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Beneficial advanced threat protection, effective web filtering, and good support
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of McAfee MVISION Endpoint are advanced threat protection, web filtering, and removable storage devices in the DLP."
  • "McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."

What is our primary use case?

We are using McAfee MVISION Endpoint for our endpoints. It manages our antivirus and does antivirus deployments.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of McAfee MVISION Endpoint are advanced threat protection, web filtering, and removable storage devices in the DLP.

What needs improvement?

McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using McAfee MVISION Endpoint for approximately two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have approximately 200 users using this solution in my organization.

How are customer service and support?

The support from McAfee MVISION Endpoint is very good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used the on-premise version of McAfee MVISION Endpoint. It was very similar. However, we switched so we did not have to manage the server ourselves.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not difficult because it is on the cloud. However, policies are complex.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price.

What other advice do I have?

We have two administrators that are managing this solution.

My advice to others is for them to try the solution out. It is important to check, l the complexity of the solution because it's a great solution with lots of features and can do very granular settings. However, this can also be something that can be a hindrance because it does make it a very complex solution to learn. 

It is a great solution overall. There is a bit of a learning curve on it when you compare it with other platforms, which I think might be simpler to manage, or more straightforward. It's a very complex solution you have to get used to it.

I rate McAfee MVISION Endpoint an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Efficient safeguarding of endpoints that provides robust protection, user-friendly features and significant cost savings
Pros and Cons
  • "It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
  • "I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."

What is our primary use case?

It serves as a comprehensive endpoint security solution that goes beyond traditional antivirus by incorporating features such as document scanning for sensitive information, approval workflows for document sharing, patch management, and advanced threat detection using AI and machine learning. It actively monitors various endpoints, including web interactions and email communications, to detect and prevent a wide range of attacks, even those that are not signature-based.

What is most valuable?

One of the standout features of this solution is its encryption capabilities and DLP functionality. It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts. The encryption feature provides peace of mind in the event of a lost or stolen device, safeguarding sensitive conversations and data from unauthorized access. This level of protection significantly reduces the risk of extortion attempts or data breaches, making it a valuable asset for any organization. So far, I haven't experienced any security breaches or attacks.

What needs improvement?

I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for a year.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have a user base of over one hundred individuals who use the software.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

The decision to implement endpoint security software like Trellix is made at a company-wide level, involving discussions and agreements between various entities, including our parent company and potentially other subsidiaries like the one in Sweden. This decision isn't made independently by individual branches like Kenya; rather, it's coordinated and negotiated at a higher level.

How was the initial setup?

I operate within a managed environment where the IT team handles the installation and setup of endpoint security software. Once installed, they provide me with the necessary details, such as login credentials and instructions for changing passwords. My role primarily involves using the machines provided to me, without needing to delve into the setup process.

What was our ROI?

Compared to the solutions, it helped us to save at least ten to twenty percent, if not more. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I would emphasize its affordability rather than merely focusing on cheapness. It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend conducting a proof of concept to explore the features firsthand. It's essential to understand what you currently have in place, as that will help determine whether the solution is the right fit for your needs. After that, ensure that the POC is conducted efficiently so that you can make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the solution or consider other options. Overall, , I would rate it an eight out of ten. It's a good solution that meets my needs satisfactorily.
