Alejandro Stromer - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable and scalable hybrid solution with easy setup
The solution is scalable. It has three levels. You have the presentation area that can be escalated to the balance sheet. You have the back-end area that can be escalated using higher viability to configure more application servers. Also, the area of storage can be increased. We usually cater to enterprise solutions but have small- and medium-sized customers. It starts with 25 users and goes up to 100s and 1000s.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very stable."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"When Intel acquired McAfee they worked on the protocol so that all vendors can work on the same platform. It's a very big improvement in McAfee. All McAfee products talk to each other. Other vendor's products can join this platform as well so it makes it more powerful on the enterprise side for McAfee."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
 

Cons

"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"There were minor UI bugs."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"The interface is complex."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"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."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"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."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
