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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less."
"I have found the most valuable features to be the ability to manage the solution from anywhere and having an overview of the companies security."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"The new central console is better than the earlier one."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."
"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."
"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."
 

Cons

"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"On the next release, they should build an easier way to see a repair option within the McAfee icon on your system tray. If there was an issue, you should be able to contact the user or just right-click on "repair". That would be a very good feature to add. That could be a place of improvement, just adding that button, or customizing it."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."
"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"Pricing is fair."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"No comment."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
