Featured Reviews

Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security ( /categories/endpoint-protection-platform-epp ) can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"Technical support was perfect."
"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is room to improve with scalability."
"The solution consumes a lot of end user memory and CPU. Trellix doesn't really focus much on the anti-malware side."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"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 endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"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."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It is reasonably priced."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"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."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"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."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"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."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
