Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Threat detection is effective, and the solution provides good control over device access, but it still needs better troubleshooting options for agent-related issues.
From an improvement perspective, I am looking for a way to troubleshoot situations where the endpoint agent becomes corrupted and requires reinstallation, as there is currently no option to resolve these issues without rebooting the system. I give it a rating of seven because, in today’s scenario, the portal is complicated to navigate. The Trellix Endpoint Security Platform dashboard is somewhat difficult to understand, and it takes considerable time to familiarize oneself with the tools and policies compared to other solutions. For on-premises deployment, I would also like to highlight that the architecture is quite complex, which is an area Trellix Endpoint Security Platform should consider improving.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to others as it seems like one of the industry standards and is fairly stable."
"The solution is stable."
"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"The product can be installed in almost any environment"
"The compatibility with a variety of laptops is our biggest advantage."
 

Cons

"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"I give it a seven because in today's scenario, the portal is complicated to handle."
"We would like to solution to offer better security."
"The tool could provide more advanced protection."
"Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement."
"The solution's documentation is not streamlined and is in bits and pieces, which should be in a single format."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Pricing is fair."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
