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.
Urs Schuerch - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"The solution is reliable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The performance is good."
"The product can be installed in almost any environment"
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"Auto-Remediation"
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
 

Cons

"We would like to see all the features available on cloud."
"The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"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."
"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"It is based on an annual subscription."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"Annual license fee is good"
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a 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."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"The pricing is high."
