AhmedEl-Tayeb - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."
"The solution provides a data view of the Alpha systems with Trellix installs and makes small changes to the central management console. Nothing on the endpoints themselves works, but it focuses more on the management side."
"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"The initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security was straightforward."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"It's easy to use."
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
"The solution's features, including real-time monitoring, IPS activity, and firewall alerts, are found to be the most effective in our company"
"Virtual patching is a wonderful feature where we do a recommendation scan and an internal assessment on the server, and it updates the IPS signatures to block any attack. I have seen instances where it has prevented attacks on the end-of-support servers such as 2018 R2, and many years ago, even 2007 servers that were end-of-support. It certainly helped there."
"Automated virtual patching is a good feature."
"The solution has a low footprint and does not have a lot of impact on the host."
"It provides a comprehensive feature set and a strong security baseline for us with integrations into other security tools."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
 

Cons

"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"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."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The interface is complex."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"They can improve its resource consumption, such as memory, and maybe provide better or smaller updates. It always takes a lot of resources, but it has been getting better. I have been using McAfee products for the last 20 years or so, and I know it is getting better."
"Their support should be improved. We need support in the UAE, but it is always going to some other country or region, and the time schedule is not suitable for us."
"The initial setup was complex."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
"New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"It is reasonably priced."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"Annual license fee is good"
"The solution is offered at an average price point"
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"From a pricing perspective, I would say the product is economical...The payments are made on a yearly basis towards the licensing of the solution."
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"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."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"The tool's pricing is high."
