Featured Reviews

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.
Usman Bhatti - PeerSpot reviewer
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 is stable."
"A big advantage of McAfee Endpoint Security is the ability to manage very big environments. We are supporting environments with 200,000 to 300,000 endpoints. The ability to manage with one single console is very important for us. McAfee has phenomenally improved in terms of detection. It provides real-time detection and response with the error, Real Protect, and reputations. It is not only based on signatures but also on behavior analytics, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. We have environments that never had issues with ransomware in the last 20 years. McAfee has a very good performance in this field."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"It has improved my organization because it helps with visibility, in terms of security. We can see the actual attack and can contain it. The antivirus can detect that."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
"It can scale well."
"The most valuable feature of the product is vulnerability detection."
"It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion."
"It's scalable."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done."
"It serves its purpose and works well."
 

Cons

"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"Their automation needs improvement."
"The tool needs to improve its subscription."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"The implementation can be inflexible and not easy, as it requires knowledge of things like virtualization and administration on Windows."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is fair."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"This product is costly."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"We don't pay any licensing fees."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"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."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
