We performed a comparison between Tanium and Trellix Endpoint Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The security features are very valuable."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
"A big advantage of McAfee Endpoint Security is the ability to manage very big environments. We are supporting environments with 200,000 to 300,000 endpoints. The ability to manage with one single console is very important for us. McAfee has phenomenally improved in terms of detection. It provides real-time detection and response with the error, Real Protect, and reputations. It is not only based on signatures but also on behavior analytics, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. We have environments that never had issues with ransomware in the last 20 years. McAfee has a very good performance in this field."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"The new central console is better than the earlier one."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"They could improve the UI."
"The reporting could be improved."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"Signatures to protect against new attacks."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"The interface is complex."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
