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

"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"I have found many of the features to be useful."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"The initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security was straightforward."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"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."
"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"Technical support was perfect."
 

Cons

"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"If there's a possibility for remote assistance or investigation support in the future, it would be beneficial. Currently, we use another remote software for such purposes. If this feature could be included in the next version, that would be an improvement. The feature is called Remote Administration. I'm somewhat satisfied, but there's an issue I recently encountered. When attempting to scan a suspected host machine, Symantec Endpoint Security did not provide any alerts. However, when we installed Malwarebytes and ran a scan, it detected a threat that wasn't identified by Symantec. We raised this concern with the team for resolution, and the investigation is still ongoing."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"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."
"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."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"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."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"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."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is paid yearly."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"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."
"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."
