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.
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

"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security include its protection capabilities such as DNS and endpoint security, DNS threat prevention, as well as advanced threat prevention."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"The solution is stable."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"Performance is very good."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
 

Cons

"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"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."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"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 license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"The price of this product is good."
"Pricing is fair."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"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."
"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."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
