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…
Shreyansh Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It is a good anti-malware product that is highly stable."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing."
"It's hard to pick just one valuable feature as almost all of the main features are very useful. However, the ability to manage it centrally and have detailed control over settings, exceptions and other configurations is extremely beneficial."
"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."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"You can analyze any incident or malicious behavior. You can take action from within the EDR, and it can assist you in understanding how the attack was initiated or any malicious behavior in your environment."
"The stability has been great."
"It is very valuable in finding out unknown malware."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"The investigation and forensic analysis have been most helpful."
"The installation phase of the solution was very easy."
"It is a really strong solution for endpoint security."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable."
"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
 

Cons

"The one thing I'd say about their complete MDR product is that it's too expensive, which is why I prefer to use an alternative SOC and integrate Bitdefender to a different SOC on their own."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"They should improve the solution's patch management feature."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"Sometimes, the platform takes a while to allow connectivity on the Mac endpoints."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"While the solution is secure, it could have better integration."
"I would like to see a remote desktop for installed endpoints so administrators can see what is on a user's screen or what a user is doing."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."
"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."
"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."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"We would like to solution to offer better security."
"The product could be flexible and offer better pricing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have very good pricing for the solution, which is one of the reasons why I am not switching to other products. I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"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."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"It is based on an annual subscription."
"The product pricing is high."
"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
