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.

Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution does its job with no issues."
"The pricing is good."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is stable."
"I like Symantec EDR's device control and USB security features."
"A great feature of this solution is that it is very well-integrated with antivirus software. Other ADR solutions are implemented as single technologies and are not integrated with the provider, but Symantec offers AV plus ADR."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
"I've mainly found the antivirus and antispyware features valuable. The documentation is okay as well."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response are its immediate response and investigation."
"The threat scanning is excellent. It uses predictive technology and I can utilize attack data to help us fine-tune our systems and network infrastructure. This protects us against current and future attacks."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"I have not received any complaints about the performance."
"The most valuable feature is user-based policy provision."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
"The seamless deployment is very valuable."
"The investigation and forensic analysis have been most helpful."
"The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
 

Cons

"The solution can always be more stable and more secure."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response could improve the reporting. It is very difficult to create reports from the user interface."
"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."
"They need to improve their cloud presence."
"They do need to minimize the number of agents installed on a server."
"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."
"The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model."
"Reporting is a major issue, as it is not user friendly."
"We'd like better UI on the management screen."
"You do not have access to all the features when you use the Trellix web interface. For example, you cannot do device or drive encryption from the web interface. Also, when we're working with customers, it's sometimes challenging to get sales support. Delays mean we might lose an opportunity. Lastly, Trellix lacks some documentation about custom features."
"Search feature could be made more user-friendly."
"From an improvement perspective, I want everything in the solution to be free."
"Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us."
"It has very good integrations. However, its integration with Palo Alto was not good, and they seem to be working on it at the backend. It is not very resource-hungry, but it can be even better in terms of resource utilization. It could be improved in terms of efficiency, memory sizing, and disk consumption by agents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay around $100,000 for 5000 licenses every year."
"The price is really high and it should be lower."
"The price is reasonable."
"Compared to the tools of competitors, Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is a cheaply priced product."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"MVISION is intended as an enterprise product and it is priced like one. This solution is within the price range of competitors at the enterprise level."
"The product pricing is high."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
