Easy to use and competitively priced
Honestly, the product needs to continue the way it is, and I feel that everything will be fine. I haven't had any reasons to complain about the product. The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model. In the future, I want the product to offer MDM. It can allow me to manage my mobile device more efficiently and effectively. Currently, there is a need for a separate license to be added to Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response to be able to use the MDM part. If both are bundled up under the same license, the administration part can be made easier.

Enhancements needed for security alerts while ongoing training strengthens defenses
This year, I am going to improve some tools to be installed or maybe acquire some services to better manage our web services and work with my coworkers. Application fiber also needs attention. Nowadays I am making applications that are publicly seen on the Internet. I need some protection, possibly multi-factor authentication improvements. I am seeing, for workflows, some sort of ethical hacking to test our environment. Knowledge of everything, not only the product - maybe some kind of alerts - needs to emerge. I see the current ones as very low-tier, and they must improve.

"I like Symantec EDR's device control and USB security features."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to connect and global settings are good."
"The solution does its job with no issues."
"The solution is scalable."
"The security is good."
"The product's initial setup phase was very straightforward since you just need to install it, and it works."
"When Trellix detects some threats, the device is isolated in a quarantine zone for examination."
"Blocking browser navigation is a feature of the solution with which we have experienced success."
"Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) offers endpoint protection and helps collect information while also allowing users to investigate malicious files in an IT environment...It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the ability to isolate or quarantine devices and block or detect Ransomware and other well-known tools that are used to exploit vulnerabilities on devices."
"What we're using the most and what we found valuable in McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response are Web Control, Advanced Threat Protection, and Threat Prevention features."
"The biggest strength of the solution is that it's an integrated product that includes EDR and antivirus."
"The dashboard makes it easier and more effective to analyze data."
 

Cons

"The GUI could be better."
"Technical support is not as good as we expect, and resolving problems should be more timely."
"I think we have experienced some technical issues because the company focuses mainly on bigger clients. Also, sometimes the solution fails to detect zero-day attacks, so that feature needs some enhancement because it is lacking compared to other solutions."
"Its UI could be more user-friendly."
"It is not possible to buy it from the company itself, or resellers in other countries. If it is available, I see that it is offered as part of a larger service. For me, this was not suitable."
"That's why I wouldn't recommend it for other systems. It works only with SAP clients. That's why I'm giving it a six. It would get higher if it worked on all networks without the help of SAP."
"The interface is very complicated."
"While they are quite dynamic, they need to ensure they are detecting threats faster in the future to keep people safer."
"Trellix needs to focus on gaining traction with partners and building trust among users."
"The CPU utilization of the product is quite high compared to its competitors."
"The dashboard and reporting features are not so user-friendly or intuitive, so they need some work."
"Some modules that are doing machine learning and artificial intelligence are blocking our processes."
"For Spanish users, it is necessary to have a knowledge base specifically designed for them, which is currently not available."
"I'd like the tool to become more like an XDR, with one management system and endpoint activation."
"I need some protection, possibly multi-factor authentication improvements."
"When it comes to some unknown fileless attacks, the tool is not able to detect them properly, making it an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The more devices we have the more expensive it becomes, which is where the challenge is."
"The price is okay, but it really depends on the customer's requirements."
"Of late, because of the Broadcom purchase, its price has been increasing."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive."
"The price is really high and it should be lower."
"The product is cheap."
"The price is reasonable."
"The licensing costs attached to the solution are very easy to manage. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"The price is reasonable."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is reasonable in terms of cost. It's a tool my company has been using for a few years now. It costs $25,000 to $30,000 for six hundred users."
"Pricing is a problem in South Africa. It could be cheaper here. The rand-to-dollar exchange rate makes it expensive for us. A 25 dollar endpoint cost becomes quite significant when converted to rand."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is not that expensive, but it's not something that a startup could buy. Pricing for it is for midsized businesses. There's an additional payment if you want data retention for more than thirty days. They gave us data retention for thirty days. Then if you want longer data retention, they have the paid option for a three-month data retention period and for a one-year data retention period."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Speaking about the price, you must use the product to find the product's cost for you."
