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

"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"The solution is reliable."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"The solution scales well."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"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."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
"The solution's features, including real-time monitoring, IPS activity, and firewall alerts, are found to be the most effective in our company"
"This product offers good protection against many types of malware."
"It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides."
"There are compliance issues for legacy applications and after applying OS security patches. The product's HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System) modules do the job for you automatically, without any downtime."
"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."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"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."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"Trend Micro can interact with their consultant to ensure that we receive constant training to understand their platform and how to improve it."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"The problem with this solution is that if you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is affordable"
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"No comment."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
"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."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
