Trellix Endpoint Security Platform Reviews

The most valuable features for us are:

1. Encryption of our data
2. Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up.

We are able to use it as our primary encryption tool so we do not have to spend resources on another product for this purpose. It is really the most useful feature as we do not have to worry about our data being compromised, which is our biggest concern.

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.

Sometimes, we had the slowness issues upon starting up.

It was unstable when we initially installed it.

It has seemed to scale just fine for our needs.

Be aware of the time it takes to deploy it as we experienced some slow startups.

I would have said the VirusScan, but with the advent of ransomware, the VirusScan hasn’t been that impressive.

Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives -- but the need to get a code before granting exceptions made the management cumbersome.

The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats.

I've used the solution for three years.

No.

No.

Quite unsatisfactory. Sometimes cases will last for weeks without significant progress.

Started with McAfee, actually, but now we have switched to another solution.

Initial setup was straightforward as only one server was needed.

Pricing is fair.

Kaspersky and Norton.

I would advise to compare it with other players and ensure it can deliver, especially on the detection of ransomware and advanced threats.

• Dynamic Application Containment
• Real Protect

With the increase in malware attacks, having a product like this which protects against zero-day attacks is invaluable.

Signatures to protect against new attacks.

I've used this solution for three months.

No.

No.

Five out of 10.

No.

No.

It's an essential.

• Central management with ePolicy Orchestrator
• Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure

We are sure that our endpoints are safe. They are protected by Mcafee.

As IT, we can monitor centrally how much the endpoints are safe and what threats are occurred.

We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes: Installation may have been broken by something and installation is corrupted. It’s so hard to uninstall or repair the installation in that case.

Two years.

None.

None.

Good.

Good.

No.

Complex. I remember there were so many steps to do.

Trend Micro and ESET.

This is not a set-it-forget-it product. I can say that at least one IT employee has to be responsible to this product.

One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan. After the policy configuration is made, all our end users were happy that the computer didn’t feel slow when scanning files as the scanner just runs when the users are idle.

McAfee Endpoint Security 10.5 has improved our security and made our customers more effective. As it uses less CPU, no one needs to wait for their computer to finish any scans.

I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security. The Dynamic Application Control works well against ransomware as well as other viruses.

We have been using the solution for about one year.

We had no issues with our customers. The 10.5 version was nice, with no stability issues or any other critical issues noticed.

We have not encountered any scalability issues.

The level of technical support at McAfee is 10/10. The support is just great. Often they solve all the problems or give you advice on how you can improve the policy to work even better.

I don’t think I’ve ever spoken to any support which makes a customer happier than McAfee support. It just feels like they care about the customer.

We used VirusScan Enterprise (McAfee). It worked fine, but in the end, the CPU usage was too high when doing On-Demand scans.

I would not say that it was complex, but of course you should do some testing with the policies to reach the best performance and the best protection for your client. We used an ePO server to manage the policy, as well as the deployment, without any problems.

I would advise them to speak to our resellers at Advania, as I’m a technical consultant and not a reseller.

We did not evaluate other options. McAfee is a clear choice to make, when running an ePO server as well as other endpoint products from McAfee. They really integrate well with each other and that is a strong force within the fight against malware and ransomware attacks.

Test the product well and make your own policy changes to improve the product even more. Often McAfee can get you some test periods to try the product. Also, have a look at the Dynamic Application Control. It’s worth the value in the end.

My experience with McAfee is very good. They give excellent support, they are proactive to solve issues, and willing to integrate their products. Their ability to execute is very high.

Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use.

All the devices are controlled from one place. This gives great, easy management of security for different device vendors with a unique interface and, best of all, with a unique method.

Valuable features for us include the quality of their anti-malware detection: one interface for all devices. McAfee GW Security is also good.

In general, all the branches were very happy with them for three reasons:

• The product is good
• The product is well known
• Their marketing support is excellent

The product is evolving to give a global security solution, engaging all devices and products together under one interface. McAfee GW Security will be a game changer here.

McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new.

We have been using the solution for five years. I have broad experience with McAfee’s complete endpoint protection, McAfee Child Safety, and their new McAfee GW Security protection that incorporates protection directly in the Home/SOHO Internet GateWay.

I worked as the product manager with these products at my former company's Global Security Vertical, giving service to all of our company's branches around the world.

We have experienced very high stability.

We have not encountered any issues with scalability.

The technical support is excellent.

We previously used Norton, Kaspersky, and Panda. From my point of view, the basic functionality is similar, but McAfee has a more innovative roadmap.

The initial setup was very easy.

The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license. The price isn't very different comparing it with other Anti virus providers but it's worth it. With respect to freemium solutions, premium gives support and I personally prefer to pay for a service as no one gives anything for free.

We evaluated Norton, Kaspersky, Panda, and many others.

Even though it is a little expensive, the price is worth it. They come up with a complete home security eco-system that will unify the security under one easy interface.

Going to their new product, McAfee GW Security, security in the Internet GateWay, McAfee is clearly on the right track.

I was responsible for the introduction of this new type of products in my former company. I evaluated many brands (about ten), new startups, and traditional big security vendors. In my opinion, they have the clearest view of what has to be done now, (in the GW and in the Cloud), and what will be done in the future.

Some startups have good innovative products, but for sure lack the ability to execute that big vendors have. Big vendors have better malware detection rates, faster response to issues, etc.

Considering the exponential growth of Home IoT (most don’t have security), McAfee GW Security is, and will be, essential to stop hacking.

As of July 2016 we updated our version of Endpoint encryption from V5.03 to V7.03 with an updated deployment console it is much more convenient to navigate and to recover the user \ machine password process is so less cumbersome ..

thumbs up to this version ...

All the care facilities are mandated by the State to protect patient information. McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection has helped us to enforce that mandate, protecting both staff and patient information data. That's why the most value that it provides to us is simply and obviously the fact that it does a very good job of overall endpoint encryption.

The virus scanning in Enterprise V8 needs improvement. Also, the spyware protection needs to be be more expansive.

We've used it for six years.

The deployment from the ePolicy Orchestator console to either re-imaged or rebuilt laptops was sporadic and not reliable enough to be standalone.

We have had no issues with the stability.

We have had no issues scaling it for our needs.

very good ....

Technical support is excellent. We've worked with them a lot over the years, some days for hours at a time.

SafeBoot encryption was purchased by McAfee shortly after we deployed it to our fleet of laptops. We simply inherited it by use of encryption.

The initial setup was straightforward, as we tried to automate the deployment of AV. However, it got more cumbersome after that, requiring a lot more of our time and resources.

It was implemented by our in-house team and then deployed using the McAfee ePolicy server that's designated for McAfee deployments only.

This was all managed by our IT director.

Overall, the product is good. You need to get advice on the overall deployment to your infrastructure from McAfee before any roll-out.

While SAE & DLP have helped us to control the sites our user visits and the removable media they uses on their PC, at the same time, MSME has helped us to prevent the threat getting in our network via SPAM emails. The MEP suite has significantly helped us to mitigate the risk of getting malicious content in our network from various mediums.

They need to improve the anti-virus engine which, although fast and efficient, sometimes uses too much hardware resources. The scanning engine should be designed in a way that it doesn’t slow down the PC while it's running scheduled scans.

I've been using it for eight years.

We've had no issues with the deployment.

We've had no issues with the stability.

We've had no issues scaling it for our needs.

Customer service is excellent.

In my experience with them, technical support is excellent.

Yes we were using different solution previously. The reason we chose McAfee is because it provides us with different security solutions under one umbrella. It give us a centralized view of the health of the PCs in our organization/Network.It also offeres ease of manageability of the different product through singe user interface. Moreover, McAfee, as a part of Intel Security, can work more smartly with CPUs in comparison to other products. Also, McAfee has excellent research and support teams around the globe.

It was a bit complex in starting as you need to pick and choose the options that fit to your organizational need. IT security engineer need to learn and develop the skill to manage the product. Once it is all set, it's easy to manage.

We implemented it with the help of the vendor in the beginning. Later, we developed our own in-house talent to support and manage the product.

The ROI is good.

Pricing/licensing is competitive in comparison to other solution in the market.

I would advise that if you are looking for internet usage control, removable device control, and host intrusion protection, email protection or any one of these with anti-virus, go for it and you will not be disappointed.
