In my company, we use Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) since it is a very helpful product. In my company, we install Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) for all our machines and endpoints, along with Trellix Cloud Security. Trellix EDR can be integrated with Trellix SIEM. Trellix and McAfee Endpoint Security are used in our company as they offer endpoint protection.
Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) offers endpoint protection and helps collect information while also allowing users to investigate malicious files in an IT environment.
What needs improvement?
Trellix purchased McAfee two years ago. At this moment, it may seem a bit difficult if I explain Trellix and McAfee separately. Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and McAfee MVISION Endpoint provide endpoint protection. In the future, if Trellix can compile both the products, Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and McAfee MVISION Endpoint, into one solution, our company need not install multiple agents, which can reduce the workload for IT and make the tool easy to manage.
The solution's downside stems from the fact that Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and McAfee MVISION Endpoint are not combined into a single solution, so from an improvement perspective, they need to be combined into a single solution.

Helps to detect and identify critical management activities with dashboard to analyze data
Pros and Cons
- "The dashboard makes it easier and more effective to analyze data."
- "The dashboard is split across different platforms. For example, if you want information on Incident Detection, you have to access one dashboard, and for DLP reporting, there's a separate platform. This fragmentation means you can't access everything from a single dashboard."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution to detect and identify critical management activities. Within the network level, you can understand what is happening in the environment. Organizations using complex systems for various purposes can easily identify shared activity within the environment. There is a detection base that allows us to identify and manage threat events. The solution also includes licenses for forensic investigations of any attack that occurs. Details can be found within the platform's release at the end of the month or whenever needed. Any Trellix malware activity will be displayed on the dashboard, and the moderating services will be integrated into everything we have built.
What is most valuable?
The dashboard makes it easier and more effective to analyze data. It also allows us to access the AWS analytics and system features in one place. If we need to find specific details about an endpoint, we can determine what is happening and how any organization is affected by the data provided.
What needs improvement?
The better approach is to apply the necessary improvements to make the dashboard more effective and user-friendly. If simplified, users can investigate issues in more detail by clicking on the relevant sections. Making it simpler would enhance understanding and improve the investigation process. Customers currently using the system can view everything on a single dashboard, which is very effective for understanding all scenarios and activities.
Customers rely on a single platform When they notice an incident, response, or attack. In SOC analysis teams, especially in banks or traditional organizations, the entire team needs access to the scenario on one platform. This allows them to understand the dashboard and detect any ongoing activity easily. Once they identify an issue, they can proceed with further analysis. Customers need a clear and visible platform that helps them understand when and how their site is being compromised.
The dashboard is split across different platforms. For example, if you want information on Incident Detection, you have to access one dashboard, and for DLP reporting, there's a separate platform. This fragmentation means you can't access everything from a single dashboard. Instead, you must navigate various options to find the right dashboard. This setup results in a separate view for each function. Ideally, we'd like to consolidate this into a unified platform, making it easier to identify site behaviors from one centralized dashboard.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) as a reseller.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We initially used McAfee's VSP and Varia System Enterprise products. After transitioning to Endpoint Security, particularly in version 10 or 7, we encountered performance issues on systems running Windows 7. The high resource utilization caused significant slowdowns, leading to numerous complaints, especially from Sakasho. The EDR was consuming too many system resources, which impacted overall performance. However, with the newer versions, like those in the InVision EPO, these issues seem to have been resolved, and the system now operates more efficiently. The current product is expected to be much lighter and more stable.
I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I highly appreciate service architecture. They are developing day by day.
We are an enterprise that provides solutions through Trellix EDR that various external customers use. Our solutions are deployed in a large and diverse environment, including companies, telecoms, and major banks. These organizations rely on our products for their protection needs.
How are customer service and support?
There are multiple ways to get support. You can create a case through your partner or support portal by calling. If necessary, you can raise a call and follow up immediately.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
We operate within our environment and country. One of our clients, is interested in using our on-premises solution. They are hesitant to adopt a cloud-based solution due to concerns about data security. They worry that storing data in the cloud could expose it to unauthorized access. They are confused about how the cloud handles sensitive data like CPU data and prefer to keep their information on-premises. However, other banks have embraced cloud solutions and understand their value. Over time, as more companies study and become comfortable with cloud technology, we believe others will also follow and move to the cloud. We hope to maintain their interest in our services.
What other advice do I have?
Its machine learning capability is strong, and the AI configurations and system integration enhance its effectiveness. The API solutions added to this system allow us to detect and respond to incidents quickly. The quick response is also due to Edge Solutions and specific-type solutions, enabling us to conduct thorough investigations and generate reports on the platform.
I recommend Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) because it offers strong capabilities. It’s worth noting that XDR solutions are also available and might be more effective. These XDR solutions are advanced technologies with enhanced features, including improved API integration.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

What my company needs is a tool that sends you alerts. For example, if it detects a threat on your machine, it should send you an alert. My company gets the alerts instead from the antivirus software rather than the EDR. If you want to see the alerts on McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response, you have to connect to the system manually. Another area for improvement in the tool is the reporting. My company needs weekly and monthly reports about the alerts, but you can't extract reports from McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response, so a decision was made to move to another EDR solution, particularly Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, next month. My company tested Microsoft Defender for Endpoint via a POC for one to three months. The resource usage of McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is also an area for improvement because it consumes a lot of memory. For example, during the on-demand scan, you can't work because of the high CPU usage. You need to schedule the scans. McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response has a lot of modules, but my company doesn't use all modules."
