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

"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"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 solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"The independent modules are very good."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
"My total rating for Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a ten out of ten."
"The solution is a reliable and mature product. Its reporting function is robust, and the user interface is easy to use. End users can create customized reports with detailed reporting for any computer and export them in PDF or other formats. This reporting capability is very robust."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
 

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 needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"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."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"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."
"So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."
"The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"It didn't work well for some of the use cases. We have different use cases for each entity. Their support is also not good and needs improvement."
"We would like to see all the features available on cloud."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"No comment."
"The tool is affordable"
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"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."
"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."
