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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."

"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."

"Trellix Endpoint Security seems to do a good job in terms of protecting my infrastructure from malware."

"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."

"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."

"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."

"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."

"It is a really strong solution for endpoint security."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

Cons

"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."

"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."

"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."

"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."

"Sometimes, one might face issues with the scalability of the product. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement."

"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."

"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."

"There is room to improve with scalability."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."

"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."

"I am happy with the pricing."

"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."

"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."

"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."

"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."

"The tool is affordable"

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pricing and cost advice

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."

"The price is comparable."

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"The product has average pricing."

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
