PROS

It effectively blocks specific network pathways and prevents the installation of unauthorized software and devices.
Scalability is feasible since it is an on-premises solution, allowing easy scaling.

Unified console management allows handling everything from endpoint protection to DLP, including threat intelligence usage.

CONS

Customer support needs improvement with ticket resolution times often too long and repetitive log requests.
Coverage for Mac OS is inadequate, with features like clipboard and print protection malfunctioning, and Trellix is incompatible with Linux.
The agents negatively impact endpoint performance and behave inconsistently across machines.
Lack of features such as deep drive DLP and email notifications, unlike competitors like Forcepoint.
Technical support issues persist, especially with staff response times during the night.

The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do. It is fairly simple to use compared to Proofpoint.

Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard.

When cases are raised, partners perform initial L1 or L2 troubleshooting. However, ticket resolution times are often too long, with new engineers sometimes requesting the same logs repeatedly.

During the initial setup of Trellix DLP, we faced challenges where the Trellix console buffers multiple times, taking time to reload when clicking on features, which needs improvement.

The main challenge we face is with our on-premises Trellix DLP implementation. While we can push the agent, we cannot apply the policy on Azure systems.

Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies.

It's not very user-friendly for a beginner, so it would be easier if the platform or console were manageable or user-friendly. The dashboard could be simplified.
