We are using McAfee MVISION Endpoint for our endpoints. It manages our antivirus and does antivirus deployments.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of McAfee MVISION Endpoint are advanced threat protection, web filtering, and removable storage devices in the DLP.
What needs improvement?
McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using McAfee MVISION Endpoint for approximately two years.

McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable.

How are customer service and support?
The support from McAfee MVISION Endpoint is very good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used the on-premise version of McAfee MVISION Endpoint. It was very similar. However, we switched so we did not have to manage the server ourselves.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not difficult because it is on the cloud. However, policies are complex.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price.
What other advice do I have?
We have two administrators that are managing this solution.
My advice to others is for them to try the solution out. It is important to check, l the complexity of the solution because it's a great solution with lots of features and can do very granular settings. However, this can also be something that can be a hindrance because it does make it a very complex solution to learn.
It is a great solution overall. There is a bit of a learning curve on it when you compare it with other platforms, which I think might be simpler to manage, or more straightforward. It's a very complex solution you have to get used to it.
I rate McAfee MVISION Endpoint an eight out of ten.

Project Manager at LTIMINDTREE
We can deploy all our configurations through the cloud
Pros and Cons
- "We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye."
- "Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
What is our primary use case?
FireEye replaces our traditional antivirus solutions like Symantec and McAfee and covers multiple business use cases, including EDR.
What is most valuable?
We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye.
What needs improvement?
Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself.
For how long have I used the solution?
I I have used FireEye for 10 months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Endpoint Security seven out of 10. There is room for improvement and development.

FireEye is a cloud-based application, so it's easy to extend by purchasing more licenses.
How are customer service and support?
FireEye responds promptly, and their support has been excellent so far.

Deploying Endpoint Security is hassle-free. We uninstalled our legacy antivirus system and deployed FireEye. We created a package and deployed it across the servers manually.
What other advice do I have?
I rate FireEye Endpoint Security eight out of 10. Explore the solution and see what benefits it can offer your organization. I recommend FireEye depending on the customer's needs and use cases.

Regional Cyber Security Manager
Offers a variety of plugins, is reasonably stable, and has fair pricing
Pros and Cons
- "The extendability is great."
- "The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for managed defense. It is a next-generation EDR, similar to Cylance and CrowdStrike. It's used for endpoint enforcement.
What is most valuable?
It offers more plugins for endpoints in order to extend endpoint protection. There are a variety of plugin options.
The extendability is great.
It is pretty stable.
The product is very scalable.
We find the pricing to be in line with the current market.
What needs improvement?
The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high. EDRs are notorious for this.
Technical support could be improved a bit. They are doing a lot with the acquisition and rebranding, and things may take a while to settle.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've used the solution for 18 months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable and reliable. It's just as stable as anything else on the market. This is a stable build. All of it does depend on the interaction with the Microsoft patches. Most of the time, the performance is quite good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution scales well and has a lot of device plugins. I'd rate it a ten out of ten. You can do all kinds of things with it that you can't do with other endpoint protection options.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support isn't ideal. It's not that it is awful; it's just not fantastic.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I'm also familiar with Cylance and CrowdStrike, which I've used at a different company.
How was the initial setup?
I wasn't involved with the initial setup. However, we have a top-notch implementation engineer.
What about the implementation team?
We had the vendor's assistance, and we've always had an excellent experience using them.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am not sure about the exact costs. However, my understanding is it is comparable to Crowdstrike. Like other solutions, the more endpoints you have, the less the cost.
What other advice do I have?
We're customers. We're an international conglomerate. They are our vendor, and they are partners with us on our security journey.
I'd advise people to use Managed Defense. It pays for itself.
I'd rate the solution a solid eight out of ten overall.

A cloud solution for security purposes but performs slowly during usage

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product’s stability is good.
I rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten.

The initial setup is simple.
What other advice do I have?
Ten people are required for maintenance.
You should monitor how efficiently the solution functions, how it will impact your system, and how many files will be processed. The more files your system has, the more security time is needed to scan them daily. Due to this, your system may become slower. Trelix ensures the system does not slow down even when Trelix runs in the background.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
