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

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Low performance requirements."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"A big advantage of McAfee Endpoint Security is the ability to manage very big environments. We are supporting environments with 200,000 to 300,000 endpoints. The ability to manage with one single console is very important for us. McAfee has phenomenally improved in terms of detection. It provides real-time detection and response with the error, Real Protect, and reputations. It is not only based on signatures but also on behavior analytics, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. We have environments that never had issues with ransomware in the last 20 years. McAfee has a very good performance in this field."
 

Cons

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"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."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."
"They have something called Managed Detection and Response. They get intel from their customers, and that intel is shared with the rest of FireEye's customers. I want to subscribe to their intel, but that is not available to us."
"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"The product pricing is high."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
