Featured Reviews

Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The solution scales well."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."

"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"Technical support was perfect."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"Performance is very good."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
 

Cons

"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"We would like to see all the features available on cloud."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"The product is expensive."
"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."

"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."

"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
