AhmedEl-Tayeb - PeerSpot reviewer
Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.
Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides a data view of the Alpha systems with Trellix installs and makes small changes to the central management console. Nothing on the endpoints themselves works, but it focuses more on the management side."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"The solution is a reliable and mature product. Its reporting function is robust, and the user interface is easy to use. End users can create customized reports with detailed reporting for any computer and export them in PDF or other formats. This reporting capability is very robust."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
"The solution provides ease of use, especially from non-technical testing. It's one of the best things. The deployment process is one of the easiest things because we didn't train our on-site consultant. The constant training from Trend Micro's side is that they develop internal causes to understand the upgrade because once they upgrade the platform, they also upgrade the technical person's skills."
"In addition to providing our clients a view of what's happening in their data centers, it also does virtual patching in the data center. It enhances the security in the data center big time."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the log inspection and the IPS, which are the most effective compared to other tools."
"It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"Very user-friendly interface, easy to understand."
"It provides a comprehensive feature set and a strong security baseline for us with integrations into other security tools."
 

Cons

"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently."
"I would like them to separate their products into different categories, rather than putting everything in one box."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher."
"Trend Micro is not government certified or federal complaint. If they could become compliant/certified, this would make it easier for us to use it for our government projects."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this product is good."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"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."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
"We are an original partner with AWS, so a couple of customers chose to directly take it from AWS Marketplace. A couple of customers will want us to take care of the billing. So, it's a mixed type of reaction that we receive from the customer."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"The solution is offered at an average price point"
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"The AWS licensing model is scalable and easy to use, but could do with tiered discounts. I am not sure how well this model will scale when we start to use Auto Scaling with AWS resources."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
