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.

872,019 professionals have used our research since 2012.
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?
On-premises
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
Regional Cyber Security Manager
Offers a variety of plugins, is reasonably stable, and has fair pricing
Pros and Cons
- "The extendability is great."
- "The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for managed defense. It is a next-generation EDR, similar to Cylance and CrowdStrike. It's used for endpoint enforcement.
What is most valuable?
It offers more plugins for endpoints in order to extend endpoint protection. There are a variety of plugin options.
The extendability is great.
It is pretty stable.
The product is very scalable.
We find the pricing to be in line with the current market.
What needs improvement?
The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high. EDRs are notorious for this.
Technical support could be improved a bit. They are doing a lot with the acquisition and rebranding, and things may take a while to settle.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've used the solution for 18 months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable and reliable. It's just as stable as anything else on the market. This is a stable build. All of it does depend on the interaction with the Microsoft patches. Most of the time, the performance is quite good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution scales well and has a lot of device plugins. I'd rate it a ten out of ten. You can do all kinds of things with it that you can't do with other endpoint protection options.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support isn't ideal. It's not that it is awful; it's just not fantastic.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I'm also familiar with Cylance and CrowdStrike, which I've used at a different company.
How was the initial setup?
I wasn't involved with the initial setup. However, we have a top-notch implementation engineer.
What about the implementation team?
We had the vendor's assistance, and we've always had an excellent experience using them.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am not sure about the exact costs. However, my understanding is it is comparable to Crowdstrike. Like other solutions, the more endpoints you have, the less the cost.
What other advice do I have?
We're customers. We're an international conglomerate. They are our vendor, and they are partners with us on our security journey.
I'd advise people to use Managed Defense. It pays for itself.
I'd rate the solution a solid eight out of ten overall.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

I'd rate it six out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
Group Manager at HCL Technologies
Works in an ecosystem, has a central console, and can enable blocking
Pros and Cons
- "If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
- "The solution can be expensive."
What is our primary use case?
We used it for a compromise assessment. That would be for our client. We deployed the agents. It was for endpoint security.
We had been using the solution previously for one of the clients. We were using it for six months, and we did a compromise assessment based on the FireEye Endpoints that were deployed across the group. At that point in time, there were a lot of ransomware attacks in the environment, and it was impossible to identify the source of the attack and where it came from. The tools didn't point to that visibility. We had to deploy these agents across the environment and also monitor the environment using the network security appliances provided by FireEye just to monitor.
We did monitor it for six months, so it was an assessment. In those six months, we did not have another ransomware attack. It was proven the environmental assessment was clean. That was the whole objective of the compromise assessment - to find out if there are any indicators or anything that has gained a foothold in the environment, trying to fend advanced persistent threats from that standpoint.
What is most valuable?
It is a great solution. The way it exchanges the information between the entire ecosystem, all the endpoints, as well as the network ATP, can trigger the blocking even if it is seen by some other device. If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints.
It works in an ecosystem. Centrally, from just one console, you can block malicious attacks across your environment. It provides you with the ability to respond to threats better.
What needs improvement?
The solution can be expensive.
If it could provide a little more in terms of automating things, for example, in response and automatic playbooks wherein you define whatever it is if you see this kind of a threat. You define the actions that need to be followed. If a playbook could be automated and run without even requiring manual involvement, that is the future we want, and they should look into how to make that happen. That is the kind of capability we want them to build.
In terms of reporting, also, if they could provide a little bit more information from where it started, how it progressed; a complete workflow, how that had progressed from where it was picked up; what was the target stage, what was the next stage, and what was the final stage, that would be very helpful. If they could pick up in a simple pictorial way of representing analysis just like the Cisco ASA Packet Analyzer used to do, that would be really helpful.
For how long have I used the solution?
We used the solution for six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability has been very good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn’t crash or freeze. It’s reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product can scale. It’s not an issue at all. 20,000 users were using the solution with no problems.
How are customer service and support?
We have contacted tech support. Tech support was brilliant. They were very knowledgeable, very skillful, and very responsive, and they knew the subject matter. They knew what we were asking for.
How was the initial setup?
The agent installation was okay. It was just a package that was installed. It also provides options to customize and fine-tune based on the system's performance. It's not too heavy on the systems or the servers.
On the network side of things, I think there were challenges to getting that working. We had to do a couple of alterations in terms of making it work, mainly since the appliance's model was provided using a special-purpose SFP, and the compatible SFP was not available in the client environment at that one point. We had to procure it specifically for that assessment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It’s very costly.
What other advice do I have?
I’d recommend the solution to others.
I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

IT Lead Engineer, Information Technology at Banglalink
Affordable and easy to set up with a great console
Pros and Cons
- "We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy."
- "Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for security. Sometimes we try to shift to other security sites, however, whenever we compare this solution with the others, we found that McAfee developing in more dynamic ways.
What is most valuable?
It has a great console. We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy. Every year we are getting the benefits of legacy also.
It's easy to set up.
What needs improvement?
Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer. They need an update. They need to make sure that older agents on active computers communicate properly.
Sometimes the agents stop working, however, we cannot understand why. This is sometimes a problem, especially if some agent is not communicating for one month or two months. We're not sure if there's a backlog or if it got infected. We need to know right away if an agent has stopped working and possibly what has caused it to stop.
They have a dashboard. In the dashboard, you can see if a signature is in backlog, and it becomes red. This is also required if new agents or some number of event communications stop.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for about seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution has been stable. there are not any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is able to scale as required.
We have about 2,500 people using the solution. We have that amount of servers and PCs.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support has been great. They always help us to resolve any issues. We are quite satisfied with them. If they ever run into issues, they can also open up a ticket with the OEM. we've never had an incident where our issues weren't resolved.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before I started with the company, it may have been using AVG. While I was not responsible for the shift, at the time I came on, the company was growing by quite a lot, which may have initiated the change in solutions.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very simple. It's not overly complex. We have two people who are able to handle its implementation.
It takes us about two weeks to set everything up.
I work with this solution and I have two junior colleagues. They also help me and we have an IT support team that assists as well. They are actually installing it into the new laptops and they actually sometimes take on basic troubleshooting. basically from the server end, I take care of it and I have two helping hands and we have 15 members in IT support. They provide support to the end-user.
What about the implementation team?
We have a vendor that helps us with the initial setup.
What was our ROI?
I have not been monitoring for ROI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We pay for the solution on a yearly basis.
It is affordable. I don't exactly know the amount as it is maintained by someone else on my team. We have another separate team that basically manages the financial part.
What other advice do I have?
We are a customer and end-user.
We always want it updated to the latest version.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

System&Security engineer at Var Group SpA
A strong, stable, and scalable solution with good support
Pros and Cons
- "It is a really strong solution for endpoint security."
- "There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
What is our primary use case?
We are using all Trellix solutions, and we are also using all McAfee products. Our customers are using virus scan for the old platforms, Endpoint Security, MVISION, File and Folder Encryption, File and Folder Protection, and Device Control, but at the moment, I am really interested in the integration between the new Trellix solution like MVISION and FireEye.
What is most valuable?
It is a really strong solution for endpoint security.
What needs improvement?
There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for about six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Its stability is perfect.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Its scalability is perfect. In our company, we have between 2,000 and 3,000 users, but our installation has about 50,000 endpoints for all customers.
How are customer service and support?
They're very good. I am in contact with their support about five times a day, and they respond quickly.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?

I customize every installation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions.
What other advice do I have?
Make a really detailed survey of all the systems before implementing any solution on the endpoint. Do not buy the license and try deployment after that.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

A strong solution that would benefit from additional DLP features
Pros and Cons
- "Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
- "There is room to improve with scalability."
What is our primary use case?
McAfee is a security-based company. All of their products are related to the security of networking. We have approximately 15 to 20 customers working with McAfee Endpoint Security.
What is most valuable?
McAfee Endpoint Security does not hang the machines. They are also not very heavy on the end-users.
What needs improvement?
Along with improving scalability, I would like DLP features to be added in to the endpoint security.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using McAfee Endpoint Security for almost 12 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is quite stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

How was the initial setup?
The initial installation is not complex. It does depend on how big your network is, but normally it's one day's work.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I believe their prices are very good. Our customers pay an annual license fee.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
All of the endpoint security solutions have more or less the same kind of features. There is nothing exceptional about one product versus the other. McAfee is not as strong as other solutions like Kaspersky, Trend Micro, or Carbon Black.
