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.
