Correlates incidents, allows for quicker identification and helps prioritize investigations
The only challenge is, and that’s where we come into play, it’s a pretty high-tech platform. So, it’s difficult for small and medium-sized organizations to manage it on their own. It’s a very complex system. It requires a lot of expertise. All my guys who work on it have gone through certification from Stellar itself. There are three different certifications that you need to complete. Only then are you certified by Stellar to work on it. It’s a very complex platform. Not everyone can use it. A simple IT engineer or system admin won’t be able to handle it because it’s quite complex. You need to have an understanding of the industry, the subject, and the tool. So, just purchasing this tool or license and then using it on your own would be very difficult to configure and manage on a day-to-day basis. The pricing model is not suitable for small and medium companies, particularly small companies. The minimum pricing model they have is suitable for companies with more than one thousand users. So, if someone has 50 to 100 users, like typical small companies, it’s difficult for them because the cost involved is high. Stellar would charge you for those thousand users, but you do not need all those users. So what are they going to do? I guess Stellar does not want to target small companies directly and maybe relies on resellers and MSPs like us to sell it. So, that is something I would recommend changing. Otherwise, it’s a great tool, but because of the pricing model, small companies are unable to leverage the advantage of this beautiful tool. So, the pricing model should be suitable for small and medium businesses. The product currently has vulnerability monitoring and everything. But if they could also do something about vulnerability management and maybe patch management, that would be nice.

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

"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"When Intel acquired McAfee they worked on the protocol so that all vendors can work on the same platform. It's a very big improvement in McAfee. All McAfee products talk to each other. Other vendor's products can join this platform as well so it makes it more powerful on the enterprise side for McAfee."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is reliable."
"The product can be installed in almost any environment"
"The EPO, the ePolicy Orchestrator, is the best endpoint protection central management system."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
 

Cons

"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"The solution can be expensive."
"Continued available training is important for people coming in to use it."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"From an improvement perspective, I want everything in the solution to be free."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"The product does not seem to be cloud-native and there are issues with automating it. Automation is not intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s a single license platform."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"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."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"Pricing is fair."
"It is reasonably priced."
