A stable and scalable hybrid solution with easy setup
The solution is scalable. It has three levels. You have the presentation area that can be escalated to the balance sheet. You have the back-end area that can be escalated using higher viability to configure more application servers. Also, the area of storage can be increased. We usually cater to enterprise solutions but have small- and medium-sized customers. It starts with 25 users and goes up to 100s and 1000s.

Advanced threat prevention has strengthened incident response and customized security workflows
The biggest advantage of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is the ATP solution, which provides advanced threat prevention. Machine learning algorithms are available in the product as part of the threat anti-malware, including predictive machine learning and behavioral analysis, which are integral to the anti-malware module of EPP. In terms of my experience with the machine learning algorithms for analysis and threat detection, we are analyzing logs provided by Trellix, but we are not able to conduct specific machine learning analysis on those logs. The automated response mechanisms in the products help with incident management because we have to create playbooks in Trellix console for automation, which we need to enable. The customizable dashboard of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform definitely contributes to the decision-making process, as we customize the dashboard according to customer requirements. When it comes to integration aspects, we are able to integrate Trellix Endpoint Security Platform with SIEM or SOAR solutions using the ePO console, which enhances threat detection capabilities. Reporting and analytics aspects have an impact on security posture assessment, as we are able to fetch reports in the ePO console customized according to customer requirements for downloading and sending via email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"Using Encase we are able to implement security and also Forensics."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts, as it allows me to customize the scripts and deploy them as and how I need them, for example to segregate and index files efficiently."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"Image creation and image analysis in one program, basically for ease of use."
"I would like to recommend the solution; it's better and, pricing wise, it's worth it, especially compared to other advanced malware security solutions in the market that are very costly."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"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."
"The central management console, ePO, is very useful."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"The biggest advantage of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is the ATP solution, which provides advanced threat prevention."
"The solution made it possible for us to have visibility into the amount of malware and threats which were coming into our company, and it has helped to increase staff productivity."
"The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
 

Cons

"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"From a customer service standpoint, this is unacceptable."
"I suggest that if the mobile phone acquisition is embedded in the Encase law enforcement version, it would be very useful."
"This is not the program I would suggest for a newbie using to learn. It is just too expensive for the full experience, and the student versions, while very good, are just for that, students."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"One thing I could have used was a more detailed description of the HIPS signatures."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"On the older ePO versions, there were some issues at the install, but with the latest version, the installation is smooth."
"Looking at the current ePolicy orchestrator, and the transition of most vendors to the cloud, they need to do an improvement with the current dashboard or the overall aesthetic of their GUI."
"The main area for improvement is the integration with Microsoft Windows Hello, which includes Face ID or fingerprint-based authentication. Currently, they don't support either, so users have to type in the username and password."
"On the next release, they should build an easier way to see a repair option within the McAfee icon on your system tray."
"We have disabled it due to the fact that a lot of stuff was being blocked, it was blocking a lot of internal stuff, which meant it needed some fine-tuning."
"There is a need to enhance the expertise of the support portal and support engineers for Trellix Endpoint Security Platform, but overall, everything else is acceptable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
"​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"

"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
