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 secures different entry points into the network."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"I have not faced any problems with scalability so far, but we are starting an upgrade or overhaul."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
"Trellix Endpoint Security has a full suite of DLP."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
"What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue. I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"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."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The stability could be improved."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"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."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
"The local technical support could be better."
"The management console is a little bit difficult to understand for admins. You need a lot of time in order to become familiar with that. It is a little bit complicated and not too easy to understand. Its price can also be improved. Its price is higher than its competitors. McAfee also needs to have better cloud integration and more data centers in the EU. The cloud center should be in Europe or in Germany. In Germany, it is really important to have access to your data within the same country. Customer data needs to be placed and processed in the same country."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"The product is expensive."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"It is based on an annual subscription."
"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."
