Featured Reviews

Nikhil-Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable with great dashboards but the premium support is poor
The initial setup can be complex if you don't have technical knowledge. However, once it is deployed, it works well. I'm not sure how long it took to deploy. I wasn't there when it was set up and configured. We have an internal team that handles deployment and maintenance. It doesn't require too many people to deploy. Five or six people would be enough. However, for 24/7 monitoring, you need to have someone always on it.
Juan Muriel - PeerSpot reviewer
Completely automated, affordable, and provides good technical functionalities
The antivirus and DLP features are valuable. Now, we have a campaign to encrypt all the drives of the company. We have a solution for network access control from Fortinet. When Trellix detects some threats, the device is isolated in a quarantine zone for examination. We integrate Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response with other solutions to perform such isolations. We also use products for log monitoring and correlation and create use cases for automatic response.
