Enhancing data security with proactive protection and control
I've encountered some latency issues that appear to be related to the internet speed. When I install the agent on the laptop, the internet speed often drops from 100 MBPS to around 80 MBPS or even as low as 50 MBPS at times. The slow response seems to be connected to the fact that all network traffic is routed through this agent. The challenge arises when trying to analyze the logs, as every single click and action, even a single command in GitHub, generates a multitude of logs. This makes it difficult to extract relevant information. It would be helpful to implement filtering mechanisms so that we can sort and view the data based on software and vendor, providing more clarity and ease in analysis.

Useful in the area of data security and is easy to deploy
The negative part of the product stems from the area revolving around certain browsers. The solution does not support Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla Firefox has multiple architectures while Trellix is a product that does not support multiple architectures. When it comes to the parts where improvements are required in the product, I feel that Trellix needs to verify data through the SSL inspection process. The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The versatility regarding the exit point Endpoint Protector supports in making sure that important data doesn't leave our organization is vital for us. In the industry that we're in, data breaches are a significant concern. While our staff is contractually required to maintain confidentiality and they're all very aware that they shouldn't try and transfer company data of different classifications elsewhere to non-company devices, there's a risk."
"The most valuable features are the ability to prevent access to external devices, and also site blocking."
"The interface is pretty user-friendly, neatly explained, and simple to use."
"One unique feature is drive encryption. We have portable devices, and they have a password vault. If you transfer any data to your device, you can use the password vault to protect it."
"Its robust security audit and compliance functionalities prove especially beneficial for businesses in sectors like BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) and Information Technology."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution is the device control, which manages any portable device connected to the endpoint, and content-aware protection, which controls data in motion from the endpoint to outside, like when users try to upload data to a web browser or an instant messaging application."
"Endpoint Protector's best features are its protection and user-friendliness."
"It also provides us with the ability to lock down a wide variety of USB devices, which is pretty important because we don't want certain data accessed. It does a really good job when it comes to the versatility of the exit points it supports, making sure that important data does not leave our organization."
"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."
"Trellix DLP has an agent that continuously scans the endpoint and sends the data to the portal. From there, it continuously leverages data from its threat intelligence."
"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."
"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Trellix DLP offers many features, using EDR, EPP, disk encryption, and other features."
 

Cons

"I would rate the role-based access features for administrators a six out of ten. There's work to be done on the granularity of roles that can be assigned to an administrator but there is role-based administrator access present. That's why it's not a zero rating."
"If CoSoSys comes up with a suite of Host DLP, along with Network DLP and SaaS DLP, it will cover all of the aspects of a DLP solution."
"The policy engine could use a bit of work. They're definitely going in the right direction. We've been working with them over the last few weeks to try and optimize that. But it's reasonably clear that they're just not putting as much effort into the policy engine as into other things, like content discovery."
"It needs to improve in terms of policy customization."
"It would be better if they had an inbound restriction feature. For example, I work out of my home from my personal computer. All my policies can be deployed while working. When I am done, I should be able to use my machine as my personal machine, and all these policies should be waived. In the next release, I want time bound restriction of the policies because most of these users were working out of home and using their personal computers."
"The reports and analysis could be improved. There could be a little more data, and the logs could be a little more granular, but it's nothing major. It does what it needs to do, and it's fine."
"It would be helpful if they offered discounted pricing for long-term contracts to serve customers who are interested in committing for periods of three years, five years, or longer."
"Sometimes, it should try to focus on one thing rather than multiple things. Endpoint Protector does device control very well, which is why we use that particular function."
"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."
"The bugs need improvement."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."
"It's not very user-friendly for a beginner, so it would be easier if the platform or console were manageable or user-friendly. The dashboard could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is a normal industry standard and depends on customers and salespersons."
"I don't have any issue with the licensing and pricing. I would love for it to be cheaper, but at the same time I'm getting a lot from it."
"When I last renewed the license it was for a two-year term, and they gave me the second year at half price."
"For what it's doing, the cost is somewhat high for us, but it's the cost of doing business with the clients that we have."
"This is a budget-friendly solution that covers all the aspects of host-level DLP."
"The pricing is reasonable for this particular market."
"The price of Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys is more or less the same as other competing solutions."
"It has a fair price. They just changed recently from perpetual licensing. When I bought it, I bought it on perpetual license, then they changed the whole company policy to go to subscription. It was a bit of a shock to us because we haven't upgraded it that many times. However, after speaking to CoSoSys directly, they gave us a very good renewal price."
"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."
