Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Threat detection is effective, and the solution provides good control over device access, but it still needs better troubleshooting options for agent-related issues.
From an improvement perspective, I am looking for a way to troubleshoot situations where the endpoint agent becomes corrupted and requires reinstallation, as there is currently no option to resolve these issues without rebooting the system. I give it a rating of seven because, in today’s scenario, the portal is complicated to navigate. The Trellix Endpoint Security Platform dashboard is somewhat difficult to understand, and it takes considerable time to familiarize oneself with the tools and policies compared to other solutions. For on-premises deployment, I would also like to highlight that the architecture is quite complex, which is an area Trellix Endpoint Security Platform should consider improving.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"We chose the solution because it doesn't have daily updates, which is important for us in healthcare IT, where network usage and connectivity to hospitals matter."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is a proven, robust, and cost-effective solution that protects the organization from different types of ransomware and attacks."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
"The tool has contributed to improving our security posture. While it's just one part of our overall solution, it plays a crucial role. As we continue to evolve, we anticipate it becoming even more important alongside other aspects like network behavior and additional metrics."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less."
"The new central console is better than the earlier one."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"From an improvement perspective, I want everything in the solution to be free."
"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
"Some customers feel that the Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) agent consumes more memory and resources in their environment, which is a major issue we are facing."
"Search feature could be made more user-friendly."
"They have something called Managed Detection and Response. They get intel from their customers, and that intel is shared with the rest of FireEye's customers. I want to subscribe to their intel, but that is not available to us."
"It didn't work well for some of the use cases. We have different use cases for each entity. Their support is also not good and needs improvement."
"We know that McAfee isn't the best antivirus and it can't protect us 100%, although we are okay with the level of protection that it gives us."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"Pricing is fair."
