Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Reviews

Our clients primarily use the solution for security purposes. We have it deployed on the endpoints.

The entire IPS is excellent.

It's pretty good at protecting our endpoints.

The implementation was pretty straightforward.

The solution can scale.

The product is stable.

It's an excellent solution for enterprise-level businesses.

I can't think of any area of improvement. It works pretty well for us.

The pricing could be improved.

The product offering could be enhanced a bit. I'm on the second-biggest offering and I have mostly common packets and features. They could offer a bit more to higher tiers. They also seem to mix and match other products within their suite of offerings and change those. There needs to be more consistency overall with what they offer.

I've been using the solution for a few years now.

As an enterprise-level solution, it's quite stable. We haven't found any bugs or glitches on the solution. It works well and we have no complaints.

The solution scales well for enterprises. A company can expand it if they need to. There aren't too many limitations.

We're actually the first line of support for our customers, so we are able to troubleshoot. However, the solution works quite well. We don't have too many issues where we would have to reach out to their support to assist us. Therefore, I can't really speak to their level of service. Reaching out to them is quite rare.

The implementation is not complex. It's quite straightforward. We find the entire process to be rather easy.

We're integrators. We can handle the implementation for our clients.

We're integrators. We're not customers.

We'd recommend the solution to other organizations. It works very well overall, and is excellent for enterprise-level businesses.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I'd rate it at an eight. No solution is perfect. However, this one is pretty close.

We use the solution as a level of security for our organization. It can show us what's happening on our network so that we are able to monitor events effectively. We end up having to deal with many events and this helps us detect where a virus or malware is coming from. It helps buy us time so we can fight off the attack.

Overall the solution is very good. It offers great protection and gives us a good overview of what is on the network.

We would like to have a similar version that offers a bit less complexity. Currently, the settings and confirmations on the McAfee console are complex and complicated for our branches. I wouldn't describe this solution as easy to use.

The management console needs to be less complex and easier to navigate.

We've been using the solution for less than a year at this point. It's been about six months.

Overall, the solution is quite stable. That said, newer versions often cause the network to move quite slowly. However, it's stable. We don't find there to be bugs or glitches. It doesn't freeze. It's pretty reliable.

The solution can scale. We have about 500 users on the solution currently. It's a pretty big number, and we're able to manage everything quite well.

We do plan to continue to use this product into the future.

We've used technical support in the past and have found them to be quite good. They're better than other competitors. They're knowledgeable and responsive. I've been satisfied with their support so far.

The initial setup was not straightforward. It was a bit complex in our case.

I can't recall how long deployment took for us.

I handled the implementation myself. I didn't use an integrator or reseller to assist in the process. I was able to do it independently.

There aren't any licensing costs associated with this solution.

Although we're not currently planning on switching, if we had to, we'd probably switch to Cyber Protection. Their support is very good.

Our company does not have a business relationship with McAfee. We're just customers at this time.

We are using the latest version of the solution, however, I'm not sure of what the version number is.

I'd recommend this solution to other organizations. It's worked well for us and we've been quite happy with it.

On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate it at a nine. It's quite effective.

The primary use is to deploy sensors. We have two use cases: to predict the anomalous behavior and to predict the normal threshold for our network. 

The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of custom signatures in IPS.

The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. They had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well. You probably need to buy a big model to get the solution in line. They don't give you the big model by default. During deployment, since everything goes down, all the traffic will be down. You have high variability compared to others. You need to deploy a lot of sensors and figure out the best practices. This may cost you a lot.

I think they should have a correlation of the IA deployment or IA policies. They should improve their policies to get the correlation and the variables from one policy.

Technical support was good, but can be improved. You need to send the ticket to a higher authority to get what you need. They need improvement in the first tier of technical support.

This is the first IPS solution we are using.

Deployment depends on the environment, on one of our projects, a minimum of four to seven months. You need about three people minimum for the deployment. We are defining service use agreements, and the support comes out and does preventative maintenance for two visits every month. For maintenance, you only need one person.

I have a team, and we handle implementation and deployment ourselves.

We looked at the Cisco IPS solution and found that they have multiple issues. If you want to submit or monitor anything in ASA, you should have a route to source the IPS engine. This is too difficult to deploy for most users. 

I would rate this solution eight out of ten. They have inefficient sensor hardware and you need to uninstall a lot of third party software to improve the graphical interface - like JavaScript or something like that.

We use the solution for security purposes. It allows our organization to detect a variety of malicious attacks such as malware and viruses, et cetera.

The signature-based content is very powerful. 

I like the fact that we have the ability to write our custom signatures based on McAfee-made signatures. 

The Malware engines are very powerful. These engines are getting information from the McAfee global intelligence services,

It offers good mobile intelligence services. On the behavioral side of the signatures are very good.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We've found that the solution to be quite stable.

The system isn't fool-proof. Sometimes, based on the network or other reasons, McAfee cannot detect the actual attack. This rarely happens. It's only been the case maybe one or two times.

The solution could improve some aspects of detection. If they implemented some machine learning technique, they might be able to better detect abnormal occurances. 

I've been using the solution for six years or so. It's been a while at this point. 

The solution is very stable. It's reliable. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very good.

While we haven't needed to expand the product yet, it's my understanding that the new features of McAfee will be easy to expand. It shouldn't be a problem to scale.

We have around six people in our organization using the solution.

We're partners. We often give support to our clients.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. It's not complex. A company should be able to implement it easily. 

The deployment doesn't take too long. It's pretty quick. This is especially true if you have an abundance of experience.

The pricing of the solution is okay.

Licensing is paid on a yearly basis.

We are McAfee partners. We have a business relationship with the company.

We tend to use a variety of different versions. The solution tends to have a lot of versions.

I would recommend the solution to other organizations. For the most part, we have had positive experiences. However, it's a good idea for those considering the solution to do their own research to see if the product would suit them. There are advanced levels of the solution. It can be a fit for many companies.

In general, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

We use a lot of the functions this solution provides such as the firewall and the ability to check aliases. We can monitor and show the traffic that's moving in and out. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC and we can decide whether to delete or block the malware. I'm a junior product consultant and we are customers of McAfee. 

I like the monitoring feature where you can see all the traffic. 

It's a very good solution but we would like to have a simpler version. The management component could be simplified.

I've been using the solution for six months. 

The solution is quite stable although in the latest version I've noticed that the network traffic can be quite slow. We have 500 users in our company. 

The technical support is very good. 

The deployment was a little difficult, I did it myself. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware.

We would like to have a simpler version. Some settings and functions on the McAfee console are complex and complicated. I want the management console to be simpler.

I have been using this solution for about six months.

It is quite stable, but we have some issues with the latest version. When we install the latest version, the traffic of the network is quite low.

It is scalable. We have around 500 users.

Their technical support is good. It is better than Symantec.

We were using Symantec. We switched because Broadcom bought Symantec, and their support was not very good.

I implemented it myself.

I would recommend this solution to others. It is a very good solution.

I would rate McAfee Network Security Platform a nine out of ten.
