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.
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

"The product is easy to use."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"Trellix Security Endpoint can promptly isolate any host machines directly from the console. If alerts are received and isolation is necessary, it can be accomplished through the console. The console itself holds significant value, accessible through a browser and allowing remote actions via cloud login."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"Performance is very good."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
 

Cons

"The tool could provide more advanced protection."
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"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."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"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 endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This product is costly."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"It is reasonably priced."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"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."
"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."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
