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

"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"The extendability is great."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"It has improved my organization because it helps with visibility, in terms of security. We can see the actual attack and can contain it. The antivirus can detect that."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
 

Cons

"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"​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."
"The stability could be improved."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"We would like to see all the features available on cloud."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"The solution needs to improve its virtual patching capabilities. One area where it could improve is by offering a patch management solution bundled with its security products. This would make it even more competitive against solutions like Kaspersky that offer this feature."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"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."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"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."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"The product is expensive."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
