Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

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

"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The performance is good."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"The solution scales well."
"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"It is very valuable in finding out unknown malware."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
"The extendability is great."
"Trellix Endpoint Security has a full suite of DLP."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."
 

Cons

"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"If there's a possibility for remote assistance or investigation support in the future, it would be beneficial. Currently, we use another remote software for such purposes. If this feature could be included in the next version, that would be an improvement. The feature is called Remote Administration. I'm somewhat satisfied, but there's an issue I recently encountered. When attempting to scan a suspected host machine, Symantec Endpoint Security did not provide any alerts. However, when we installed Malwarebytes and ran a scan, it detected a threat that wasn't identified by Symantec. We raised this concern with the team for resolution, and the investigation is still ongoing."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"The solution's documentation is not streamlined and is in bits and pieces, which should be in a single format."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."
"Sometimes, one might face issues with the scalability of the product. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."
"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."
"Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
"The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time."
"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."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"No comment."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"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 pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"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."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."

It depends on what you want to achieve. With McAfee ENS you have complete coverage through McAfee solutions, that is, it has an AV engine (threat Protection), you have Advance Threat Protection (ATP), light control over browsers, and a firewall.  With MVISION Endpoint you add being able to manage Microsoft Defender from the MVISION ePO or EPO on-premise console. But the AV engine is Defender, not McAfee. So you depend on the potential and configuration you make of Defender.

The flexible manageability of McAfee Endpoint Security is one of our favorite aspects of this solution. You can deploy various components as desired with McAfee Endpoint Security, whereas many other solutions only offer an all-or-nothing policy. McAfee offers a prevention layer that detects signature values and prevents threats to the network. With McAfee Endpoint Security you have complete coverage through McAfee solutions, advanced threat protection (ATP), and light control over browsers, as well as a firewall. We would like to see better integration with 3rd party products, though. We also feel that resolution time should be faster and that McAfee Endpoint Security could do more to keep administration alerted to detected end-point threats. One of the best things we like about McAfee MVISION is how user-friendly and easy it is to use for the average person. It is stable and scalable and the technical support is excellent. The cloud-based security and data protection McAfee MVISION offers is extremely valuable, especially if you have many employees who are working remotely. You can only use McAfee MVISION with Windows 10, WIndows 2016, or above, which makes this solution kind of limiting. We would like to see a policy editing solution added to McAfee MVISION, which would make it a bit more flexible. Additionally, we have some concerns that the intrusion detection and intervention are not keeping pace with other available solutions. Conclusion Both of these solutions are McAfee, which is a widely known and trusted value-added brand. We felt McAfee Endpoint Security offered the most complete secure coverage within the McAfee ecosystem. The flexibility and centralized administration controls are better able to keep all of our computer systems safe from viruses and other intrusions. We also feel there is a strong commitment to keeping McAfee Endpoint Security up-to-date, reliable and secure.
