Trellix Cloud Workload Security needs improvement to be more lightweight, as it consumes more RAM resources, so we need a lighter version of that security. Regarding needed improvements for Trellix Cloud Workload Security, there is a complexity in the configuration of policies compared to other OEMs where configuration is simpler. Here, it is module-wise, which requires configuring separate segments such as threat protection, data protection, firewall, device control, and application control.
When it comes to areas for improvement, there is a need, as per a comparison with Trend Micro, to provide a SIEM solution in Trellix Cloud Workload Security. Currently, there is no SIEM solution feature, and an integrated SIEM solution would be beneficial.

Its vulnerability assessment is not the best. We cannot identify the vulnerabilities that are related to the operating system by using McAfee Cloud Workload Security. I wish McAfee would add a vulnerability assessment tool that will not only identify the vulnerability but will also be able to generate a report so that the required patching can be done for the servers. Currently, McAfee Cloud Workload Security only integrates with AWS and Azure. If it can also integrate with GCP, Alibaba, and other cloud services available in the market, it would be good because not all people are using Azure and AWS.

There is room for improvement in the pricing model. The price could be a bit lower.
