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.

High availability, effective VPM, and responsive support
There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"The solution is stable."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"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."
"McAfee EndPoint Security has a lot of good features that work well if they are implemented properly."
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Trend Micro gave our security teams a certain degree of comfort by just having it in the background, as they have familiarity with the product."
"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"It is well-suited for state government customers who require a complete sense of security."
 

Cons

"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"The solution consumes a lot of end user memory and CPU. Trellix doesn't really focus much on the anti-malware side."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features."
"The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
"The cost is very high."
"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."
"We have had some issues when it drains some of the resources of the server."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"No comment."
"Most of it is annual at this stage."
"I rate the price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is a high price. It is a very costly tool...There are no additional payments to be made other than the normal price of the tool."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"The tool's pricing is high."
