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.
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security ( /categories/endpoint-protection-platform-epp ) can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"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 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."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"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 most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
 

Cons

"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The stability could be improved."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"It is hard to manage."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The agent is very heavy, so we have to ensure that we have a lightweight agent for Windows systems."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."
"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."
"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."
"From an improvement perspective, I want everything in the solution to be free."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"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."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"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."
