Has automated software updates and operates independently without any integration needs
Pros and Cons
  • "The product can be installed in almost any environment"

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    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. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Trellix Endpoint Security for a year. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    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.

    920,939 professionals have used our research since 2012.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    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. 

    How are customer service and support?

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

    How was the initial setup?

    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. 

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    The solution is valuable for security aspects.

    What needs improvement?

    The solution should respond faster. Whenever Trelix runs, the system slows down.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Trellix for two years. We are using the latest version of the solution.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The product’s stability is good.

    I rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is scalable. Around 3,000 users are using this solution.

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

    How are customer service and support?

    Technical support is good. They respond faster.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is simple.

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    A simple and easy-to-use product that works in the background and does not slow down the computer
    Pros and Cons
    • "The product is easy to use."
    • "The tool could provide more advanced protection."

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

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

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    What do I think about the scalability 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.

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

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

    How was the initial setup?

    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.

    What about the implementation team?

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

    What was our ROI?

    The solution is worth the money.

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

    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.

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    An easy-to-maintain tool for endpoint protection that needs to consider resolving its performance issues
    Pros and Cons
    • "The installation phase of the solution was very easy."
    • "Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement."

    What is our primary use case?

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

    What is most valuable?

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

    What needs improvement?

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

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

    How was the initial setup?

    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.

    What about the implementation team?

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

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

    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.

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    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?

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

    What is most valuable?

    Provides endpoint security protection against malware and the like.

    What needs improvement?

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

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    How was the initial setup?

    I wasn't involved in the initial setup. 

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    We can deploy all our configurations through the cloud
    Pros and Cons
    • "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."

    What is our primary use case?

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

    What is most valuable?

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

    What needs improvement?

    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. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I I have used FireEye for 10 months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

    How are customer service and support?

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

    How was the initial setup?

    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. 

    What other advice do I have?

    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.
