Featured Reviews

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.

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

"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"Technical support was perfect."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"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."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."
"On the next release, they should build an easier way to see a repair option within the McAfee icon on your system tray. If there was an issue, you should be able to contact the user or just right-click on "repair". That would be a very good feature to add. That could be a place of improvement, just adding that button, or customizing it."
"There is room to improve with scalability."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"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."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
