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.

A highly stable solution that protects computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers
ZoneAlarm doesn't require much maintenance. You only need to update the application when there are any latest updates. ZoneAlarm is deployed on-cloud in our organization. With an increase in the bring your own device concept, ZoneAlarm should be part of every device to help us make the operational work very easy. Overall, I rate ZoneAlarm a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We receive good protection with this solution."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."
"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."
"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."
"The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me."
"The solution really focused on giving more security than an antivirus."
"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."
"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."
"It is quick and easy to configure."
"The product's most valuable feature is the detection engine due to its ability to identify threats."
"It is easy to use through interfaces and easy to configure each of the customizations we created based on the characteristics that we wanted."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"Technical support from the vendor is very bad."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."
"The solution's efficiency in threat containment and overall protection needs improvement."
"The support is not always so effective."
"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."
"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."
"ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."
"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."
"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"This product is costly."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"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."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for ZoneAlarm, which is cheap."
"We use the free version of the software, but it can be upgraded to the paid Extreme Security edition."
"This is a freeware product and I recommend using it."
"The pricing is reasonable, with a yearly renewal license costing seventy dollars."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
