Improving threat detection is critical for enhanced protection

Threat detection is effective, and the solution provides good control over device access, but it still needs better troubleshooting options for agent-related issues.
From an improvement perspective, I am looking for a way to troubleshoot situations where the endpoint agent becomes corrupted and requires reinstallation, as there is currently no option to resolve these issues without rebooting the system. I give it a rating of seven because, in today’s scenario, the portal is complicated to navigate. The Trellix Endpoint Security Platform dashboard is somewhat difficult to understand, and it takes considerable time to familiarize oneself with the tools and policies compared to other solutions. For on-premises deployment, I would also like to highlight that the architecture is quite complex, which is an area Trellix Endpoint Security Platform should consider improving.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Low performance requirements."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to others as it seems like one of the industry standards and is fairly stable."
"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."
 

Cons

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"They can improve its resource consumption, such as memory, and maybe provide better or smaller updates. It always takes a lot of resources, but it has been getting better. I have been using McAfee products for the last 20 years or so, and I know it is getting better."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product. The system also starts slowly in some instances. If for some reason this solution crashes, we could lose all our data."
"You do not have access to all the features when you use the Trellix web interface. For example, you cannot do device or drive encryption from the web interface. Also, when we're working with customers, it's sometimes challenging to get sales support. Delays mean we might lose an opportunity. Lastly, Trellix lacks some documentation about custom features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"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."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"The pricing is high."
"The product pricing is high."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
