Alexander Zhuravel - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution."
"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"It's easy to use."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."
"A big advantage of McAfee Endpoint Security is the ability to manage very big environments. We are supporting environments with 200,000 to 300,000 endpoints. The ability to manage with one single console is very important for us. McAfee has phenomenally improved in terms of detection. It provides real-time detection and response with the error, Real Protect, and reputations. It is not only based on signatures but also on behavior analytics, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. We have environments that never had issues with ransomware in the last 20 years. McAfee has a very good performance in this field."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"The product is fairly reliable."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"The solution's documentation is not streamlined and is in bits and pieces, which should be in a single format."
"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."
"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"No comment."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"The price of this product is good."
