LW
Lighter with good stability and pretty good technical support
It's still not lightweight enough and not as light as they claim to be with the McAfee area of a next-gen AV. They can do some improvements along that line. There needs to be some improvement around the white-listing or black-listing. The product could improve aspects around the removal of blacklisted applications, et cetera. This was an exercise to centralize the AV cell, and that's how we ended up upgrading. The truth, however, is that I was really looking for something much more advanced with user behavior analytics and some AI features that the other competitor's next-gen AV does offer. It is okay for what it's doing now, however, it's not the ultimate software. There are some components on the cloud that should also reside in the on-prem deployment models but don't. They should ensure they are doing parallel development for cloud and on-prem when they are doing R&D.

Our main antivirus tool and offers adaptive threat prevention tool
The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious and time consuming task. After raising the call onto the technical support portal, usually receive a notification after 24 hours. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to conclude and resolve the issue. If 24/7 online support or a phone line where we could speak directly with technical support for real-time troubleshooting, that would be very helpful. Licensing is another aspect where trellix should look into. Different purchases are grouped together in single user account get mixed up. Categorization of purchases and their grant numbers is not available to end user.

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 scalable."
"It's a little lighter compared to the older version, which was mostly signature-based."
"We are hoping to automate detection and response and take advantage of user behavior analytics, given that we are working from home. About half of our workers are still remote, so Active Response gives us that visibility and lets us automate a number of those events."
"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."
"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."
"Technical support is excellent."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"The features we have found most valuable have been containment as well as the ability to triage agent activities."
"Trellix Endpoint Security has a full suite of DLP."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."
 

Cons

"I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."
"While the product is good, we are currently facing support issues."
"There are some components on the cloud that should also reside in the on-prem deployment models but don't."
"So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better."
"MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."
"The product is consolidating its portfolio into one product. It is difficult at the moment."
"The product needs to reduce the usage of RAM and CPU."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our costs were somewhere around $600K in Trinidad dollars, which might be about $100K US. We have the ETP plus the EDR. Our recent renewal was 1800 licenses as opposed to the full amount. Our transaction cost was about $600K Trinidad dollars, which is somewhere around $90-100K US."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."
"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."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
