Featured Reviews

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.
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 solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"The product is fairly reliable."
"Technical support is always available and very helpful."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"The product is quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."
"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."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."
"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."
"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."
 

Cons

"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"They can improve its resource consumption, such as memory, and maybe provide better or smaller updates. It always takes a lot of resources, but it has been getting better. I have been using McAfee products for the last 20 years or so, and I know it is getting better."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."
"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"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."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"Pricing is fair."
"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"The price is comparable."
"The product has average pricing."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."
"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."
"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
