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.
Muhammed Abdul Gafoor - PeerSpot reviewer
Has an easy initial setup process, but there could be more integration options
The initial setup is easy. I rate the process a seven or eight out of ten. We have LPR procurement. The deployment involves installing the product and adding a license. It takes three to four days to complete and requires a team of less than ten people to execute the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."
"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."
"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."
"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."
"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."
"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."
 

Cons

"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"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."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"The product is not easy to use."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"The interface is complex."
"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."
"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."
"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."
"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."
"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."
"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"No comment."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"It is reasonably priced."
"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."
"The price is comparable."
"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
"The product has average pricing."
