Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems
I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the grooming industry. It is primarily utilized for the office environment The features I find most effective for threat detection include centralized control policy distribution and the control of independent devices, such as printers, laptops, and desktops…

Our main antivirus tool and offers adaptive threat prevention tool
The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious and time consuming task. After raising the call onto the technical support portal, usually receive a notification after 24 hours. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to conclude and resolve the issue. If 24/7 online support or a phone line where we could speak directly with technical support for real-time troubleshooting, that would be very helpful. Licensing is another aspect where trellix should look into. Different purchases are grouped together in single user account get mixed up. Categorization of purchases and their grant numbers is not available to end user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"Bitdefender is a well-supported platform."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"Go for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR without any second thought."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"The most valuable feature is user-based policy provision."
"It is scalable and stable and the initial setup is the easiest part of using the product."
"The installation phase of the solution was very easy."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"The investigation and forensic analysis have been most helpful."
"The technical support services are good."
"The EPO, the ePolicy Orchestrator, is the best endpoint protection central management system."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"The areas of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could benefit from improvement in terms of how problems are reported and displayed. The way the problems are presented and the information provided could be improved."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"The installation is not straightforward and should be easier to do."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."

"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."
"Continued available training is important for people coming in to use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"The pricing is competitive."
"When I first started using this solution I was paying $80 annually. I did not pay any additional fees. There are other solutions that are cheaper on the market."
"There are some differences. It's more cost-effective, yet it provides the same functionalities as Defender. That's why I've been exploring the comparisons. We pay for it annually, and it's a per-seat payment."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cheaper than Kaspersky. There are no additional costs apart from licensing ones."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is less expensive than other solutions, such as CrowdStrike. We had a really good deal because it was their year-end and they were trying to do a lot of sales that week. We bought a three-year contract from them and the cost was approximately $17 per endpoint, per year. It is was a very good price. I have spoken to other people who have purchased CrowdStrike at approximately $60 per endpoint, per year. I have no complaints about the price of this solution."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"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."
"The product pricing is high."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"MVISION is intended as an enterprise product and it is priced like one. This solution is within the price range of competitors at the enterprise level."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
