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.

Great granularity for policies or applications without needing hash values

The solution is cloud based which makes it easy to use for remote devices or work-at-home situations. The solution supports full trust or signature-based approvals. You can get very granular and band out policies or applications without having to do hash values. You can band through the entire environment by execution of the name or desk IDXE. This can be achieved on the policy side because of the signature, IOC, or naming convention itself. This is very effective for pushing more blockage or removing threats across the board. The solution has a very nice API on the back end for remoting into a system and executing scripts or utilizing self automation. This is useful for monitoring several different companies in a workspace or workbook-type format. For example, I report and send out mass emails from a clickable button in an Excel workbook. The APIs all exist for each client. I push out automatic endpoint monitoring and reports every single day at a particular time, with a simple clickable button that serves as a scheduled task for fifty clients.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very valuable in finding out unknown malware."

"The activation of features within ENS and the collection of threats into a single console is a strong point."

"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."

"It's a stable solution with good performance."

"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."

"The performance is good."

"What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue. I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is."

"We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye."

More Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) pros

"It gives you all of the information in a short and sweet fashion."

"I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup."

"It has the best live response feature."

"It significantly speeds up incident response times by alerting analysts immediately upon detecting potential issues."

"I like the historical features, interface, and integration."

"The triage feature that shows you the whole chain of the malware is useful."

"The portal is easy to use and manage."

"The initial setup is very easy."

Cons

"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."

"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."

"The solution lacks device control."

"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."

"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."

"They could provide better integration capabilities for the product with other services."

"The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."

More Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) cons

"In the past, we've seen some stability issues in the latest version releases. We tend to hang back one version just to make sure issues are fully resolved to avoid user disruption."

"The application control can be improved. It should also have an automatic update of the agents."

"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."

"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."

"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"

"The feature set for the firewall needs improvement."

"There's some disparity between the on-premise and the cloud type of application."

"There are many different controls that are needed to be put into place for upgrading that makes it difficult. Having to re-engineer your IT infrastructure to match their software, as opposed to having it integrate and work independently causes difficulties. When there is an update to any software everyone has to be involved."

"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."

"It is based on an annual subscription."

"It's reasonable in price"

"The licensing cost is on the more expensive side, but I thought it was worth it because they did a good job. It was one of the vendors I truly didn't have to worry about too much until this latest upgrade."

"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
