Featured Reviews

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.

Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"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 package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
"Performance is very good."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
 

Cons

"Patch management is unavailable"
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its virtual patching capabilities. One area where it could improve is by offering a patch management solution bundled with its security products. This would make it even more competitive against solutions like Kaspersky that offer this feature."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
 

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."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The price of this product is good."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"This product is costly."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
