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.

Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"I have found the most valuable features to be the ability to manage the solution from anywhere and having an overview of the companies security."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."
"The product is quite user-friendly."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Low performance requirements."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
 

Cons

"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."
"It didn't work well for some of the use cases. We have different use cases for each entity. Their support is also not good and needs improvement."
"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is paid yearly."
"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 pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"The product is expensive."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"It is relatively cheap."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
