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.

Easy to deploy, good price, low overhead, and keeps our Servers and PC's free of virus'
Their management interface is a little buggy as it will hang up and crash from time to time. Although It requires more system resources than the desktop client, adding additional resources' ex. CPU and Memory don't seem to improve it. Its reporting can also be improved as the executive and patching reports are missing the ability to provide what groups of PC's are included in the reports. Also, It's great they patch some third-party software, but it is a limited list expanding this would be a huge improvement. I'm yet to see it properly handle USB Device control.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."
"McAfee EndPoint Security has a lot of good features that work well if they are implemented properly."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"In general, it was pretty easy to manage."
"It has low overhead as far as machine resources are concerned. Everything runs faster with VIPRE installed versus some of the competitors. It has also been pretty easy to use. It just runs and gives us reports. It also sends us alerts when there is something that we need to look at. It does its job, and you just look at the reports. In other ways, you just forget that it is there."
 

Cons

"The software download features could stand improvement."
"The solution consumes a lot of end user memory and CPU. Trellix doesn't really focus much on the anti-malware side."
"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."
"The interface is complex."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"Their management interface is a little buggy. It requires a few system resources on the management interface. Its reporting can also be better. Overall, the reports are pretty good. They patch some third-party software, but if they can expand what they do for reporting and patch enterprise software, it would be handy."
"We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"The tool is affordable"
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"No comment."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
