Trellix Endpoint Security Platform Reviews

Trellix Endpoint Security is a cloud-based solution in which all the servers are installed with a McAfee Trellix agent, and that agent manages the server for any potential damage or threat.

It's crucial to always keep the antivirus and anti-malware software updated, which is implemented automatically by the agent of Trellix Endpoint Security. The agent, as part of the solution, continuously monitors the system and transmits data to the central server, where the latest antivirus definitions and remedy features are implemented across the systems. 

I have been using Trellix Endpoint Security for a year. 

The solution is stable enough and implements monitoring requirements effectively. In some applications, it has been found that the solution can make a system lag in pace and thus impact the performance. If the aforementioned scenario occurs, then an administrator needs to run a benefits vs. risks analysis to decide whether to continue with the antivirus or not. 

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. The product can be installed in almost any environment, you just need to purchase a license and install the product. The licenses should be procured as per the user needs. 

For a paid version of Trellix Endpoint Security, satisfying customer support can be experienced. 

The setup of Trellix Endpoint Security is extremely easy. The deployment process involves installing an agent on the system. The moment the antivirus agent's service commences, it immediately connects to the central server and becomes completely operational. 

The website of Trellix Endpoint Security conveys a deployer about which agent should be used as per the operating system; if it's Windows, then the Windows agent needs to be installed. 

There is an international virus database and all products like Trellix Endpoint Security have to sync the virus definition data with the international database. As part of the vulnerability assessment, the antivirus software developing companies have to keep their data synced with the centralized database.

Whenever any vulnerability or an attack is identified, immediately a vulnerability report is generated and uploaded. Following the aforementioned incident, all the antivirus companies immediately update their virus eradicating tools so that new or unknown attacks can be easily mitigated. New viruses, Trojans, or attacks are being invented and circulated all the time, so companies have to consistently keep updating their system. 

The antivirus agent keeps running and analyzing the system it's installed in, but there is no effective data regarding the analysis or detection. For instance, suppose a virus intervened in your system at 12:00 AM and immediately it was detected, then you can claim the antivirus solution to be the most effective.

I would definitely recommend that others use Trellix Endpoint Security; in an enterprise environment, they must have an antivirus, including the local and remote systems, if used. I would overall rate Trellix Endpoint Security as nine out of ten. The solution doesn't need to be integrated with other tools to function effectively. 

We use the product for EDR purposes.

The product has robust integration with ePO (ePolicy Orchestrator), offering centralized management capabilities. It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform. They offer endpoint and NLP protection as well.

The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases. We encounter database unavailability for a prolonged period. Its integration capabilities with security platforms like FireEye could be enhanced.

We have been using Trellix Endpoint Security for over a decade.

It is a stable product.

We manage around 20,000 endpoints for our enterprise customers. It is a scalable product.

The technical support works fast and is knowledgeable and customer-friendly.

We have to follow a step-by-step process to implement Trellix Endpoint Security. It can be deployed in the cloud and on-premises.

I recommend product deployment assistance from a consultant, distributor, or reseller.

Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform.

I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to people looking for endpoint protection. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Technical support is good. They respond faster.

The initial setup is simple.

Ten people are required for maintenance.

You should monitor how efficiently the solution functions, how it will impact your system, and how many files will be processed. The more files your system has, the more security time is needed to scan them daily. Due to this, your system may become slower. Trelix ensures the system does not slow down even when Trelix runs in the background.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We use the product to provide system security for shared data on the network.

The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment.

The product could be flexible and offer better pricing. They should make it free, open-source software.

We have been using McAfee Endpoint Security for ten years.

The platform is stable.

The platform is scalable. A minimum of five licenses are required for ten executives.

Our IT team requires deployment assistance from the product’s technical support team.

The initial setup process is easy if you have the required technical skills. It takes 30 minutes to complete. A team of around 20 technicians is involved in the deployment.

We implement the product with the help of our technical staff.

We pay for the product’s license. They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software.

We evaluated three vendors. We decided to go to McAfee Endpoint Security for better availability, ease of use, and deployment.

I recommend McAfee Endpoint Security to others and rate it a seven out of ten.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

We have seen a return on investment.

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.

The product works in the background. It does not slow down the computer, which is good. If we put the USB, it automatically asks us whether the device must be scanned. We can scan it or postpone it. If anything goes wrong, the tool informs us that a file or website was blocked. It might be because the IP is on a blacklist. The product is simple. We do not have to do anything. The product is easy to use.

The tool could provide more advanced protection. It should do a deeper analysis of the files.

I have been using the solution for eight years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

The tool is scalable. We can choose when and how to scan. We can even choose to exclude certain folders. Ten people in our organization use the solution extensively.

I have used NOD32 and Kaspersky. I started using Trellix Endpoint Security because my company decided to use it.

The initial setup was straightforward. It took us 10 to 15 minutes to deploy the solution because we had to go a bit deeper into the settings.

The product can be deployed in-house. The deployment process is quite easy and fast.

The solution is worth the money.

We have a yearly subscription. We have bought the solution for ten stations. The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market.

Some tools use a lot of memory, so it's really difficult to use them, especially when we are scanning something. We mostly work on documents on the cloud. We do not get many files on the computer. We do get some spam. I would recommend the solution to others. So far, we've never had any problems. Nothing gets through. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

My company uses Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) for endpoint protection and scanning.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its advanced ability to search for threats.

Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement. There are some weird problems in the endpoint protection or security of the solution.

I have been using Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) for two years. I am an end user of the product.

Though it is a stable solution, we face performance issues with the solution in our company.

Considering my company's current scenario, there are around 5000 users of the solution.

The installation phase of the solution was very easy.

The deployment phase of the solution takes around an hour.

Only one IT person is required to install the solution.

My company contacts the product's local integrator for support.

Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution. I don't know about the licensing course since my company uses the solution with the licenses provided by our central health center office, a public organization managed by the government. I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution.

It is very easy to maintain the solution.

I suggest checking for the product's performance issues for those planning to use the solution.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using Trellix Endpoint Security for one year and six months.

I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a seven out of ten for stability because it crashes frequently and requires a lot of maintenance.

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.

I rate Trellix Endpoint Security an eight out of ten for ease of initial setup.

I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing.

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.

This is an anti-virus and firewall solution. We have over 5,000 users and we are customers of Trellix. 

Provides endpoint security protection against malware and the like.

Trellix tends to get in the way and really impacts the performance of the servers quite negatively.

We've been using this product for around 20 years.

I wasn't involved in the initial setup. 

I'd recommend that potential users of this solution look for something more modern, for a newer company providing innovative solutions. I rate this solution five out of 10. 

FireEye replaces our traditional antivirus solutions like Symantec and McAfee and covers multiple business use cases, including EDR. 

We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye.

Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself. 

I I have used FireEye for 10 months.

I rate Endpoint Security seven out of 10. There is room for improvement and development. 

FireEye is a cloud-based application, so it's easy to extend by purchasing more licenses. 

FireEye responds promptly, and their support has been excellent so far.

Deploying Endpoint Security is hassle-free. We uninstalled our legacy antivirus system and deployed FireEye. We created a package and deployed it across the servers manually. 

I rate FireEye Endpoint Security eight out of 10. Explore the solution and see what benefits it can offer your organization. I recommend FireEye depending on the customer's needs and use cases.
