Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

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 easy to use."
"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"The response part of EDR was most valuable. We used that to separate the endpoint from the network. We utilized the solution during the instant response. We were also utilizing advanced malware detection capabilities, but we benefited the most from its help with the response."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is a proven, robust, and cost-effective solution that protects the organization from different types of ransomware and attacks."
"I have not faced any problems with scalability so far, but we are starting an upgrade or overhaul."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
 

Cons

"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"Continued available training is important for people coming in to use it."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"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."
"Search feature could be made more user-friendly."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."
"Sometimes, one might face issues with the scalability of the product. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement."
"I hope the solution can be used in cloud systems going forward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"The product pricing is high."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"It is reasonably priced."
