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.
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security ( /categories/endpoint-protection-platform-epp ) can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

"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."

Cons

"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"It would be a lot easier if I could add multiple user accounts within a single device."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price of this product is good."
"This product is costly."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"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."
"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."
