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

"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"CylancePROTECT is a fairly decent antivirus."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"It has a feature called Isolation. If a device is compromised, we can connect it to our SOC, and no one would be able to access it. This way we can limit the damage to the network while we are investigating."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between environments."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"The most valuable features of McAfee MVISION Endpoint are advanced threat protection, web filtering, and removable storage devices in the DLP."
"The compatibility with a variety of laptops is our biggest advantage."
 

Cons

"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"The user interface is outdated."
"​Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"It is hard to manage."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"The solution lacks device control."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"Continued available training is important for people coming in to use it."
"The Linux support is very poor. I use base detection. Currently, they are providing malware protection and logon track features in Windows and Mac. These features aren't available in Linux. It will be helpful to extend these capabilities to Linux. We would also like assets grouping and device lock protection features, which are included in their roadmap."
"Technical support from the vendor is very bad."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
