Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security ( /categories/endpoint-protection-platform-epp ) 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.

"It's a stable solution with good performance."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"The installation phase of the solution was very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between environments."
 

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."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"Technical support from the vendor is very bad."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"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."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
"The tool is affordable"
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
