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.
Abhimanyu Das - PeerSpot reviewer

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 backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is user-based policy provision."
"The solution provides a data view of the Alpha systems with Trellix installs and makes small changes to the central management console. Nothing on the endpoints themselves works, but it focuses more on the management side."
"The technical support services are good."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"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."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"We know that McAfee isn't the best antivirus and it can't protect us 100%, although we are okay with the level of protection that it gives us."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"The product needs to reduce the usage of RAM and CPU."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"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."
"Some customers feel that the Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) agent consumes more memory and resources in their environment, which is a major issue we are facing."
 

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."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"This product is costly."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Pricing is fair."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
