Trellix Endpoint Security Platform Reviews

McAfee MVISION Endpoint is used for endpoint protection. Protects the files and network against viruses and malware.

The price of McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve.

I have been using McAfee MVISION Endpoint for approximately one year.

McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable.

I have previously used Check Point and Microsoft Defender. I would recommend Microsoft Defender over the other solutions I have used.

The installation of the McAfee MVISION Endpoint was simple. We are able to do it remotely from a central location.

I have had a return on investment by using McAfee MVISION Endpoint.

We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive.

I rate McAfee MVISION Endpoint a six out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for security. Sometimes we try to shift to other security sites, however, whenever we compare this solution with the others, we found that McAfee developing in more dynamic ways.

It has a great console. We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy. Every year we are getting the benefits of legacy also.

It's easy to set up.

Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer. They need an update. They need to make sure that older agents on active computers communicate properly.

Sometimes the agents stop working, however, we cannot understand why. This is sometimes a problem, especially if some agent is not communicating for one month or two months. We're not sure if there's a backlog or if it got infected. We need to know right away if an agent has stopped working and possibly what has caused it to stop. 

They have a dashboard. In the dashboard, you can see if a signature is in backlog, and it becomes red. This is also required if new agents or some number of event communications stop. 

I've been using the solution for about seven years.

The solution has been stable. there are not any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze.

It is able to scale as required.

We have about 2,500 people using the solution. We have that amount of servers and PCs.

Technical support has been great. They always help us to resolve any issues. We are quite satisfied with them. If they ever run into issues, they can also open up a ticket with the OEM. we've never had an incident where our issues weren't resolved.

Before I started with the company, it may have been using AVG. While I was not responsible for the shift, at the time I came on, the company was growing by quite a lot, which may have initiated the change in solutions. 

The initial setup is very simple. It's not overly complex. We have two people who are able to handle its implementation.

It takes us about two weeks to set everything up.

I work with this solution and I have two junior colleagues. They also help me and we have an IT support team that assists as well. They are actually installing it into the new laptops and they actually sometimes take on basic troubleshooting. basically from the server end, I take care of it and I have two helping hands and we have 15 members in IT support. They provide support to the end-user.

We have a vendor that helps us with the initial setup.

I have not been monitoring for ROI.

We pay for the solution on a yearly basis. 

It is affordable. I don't exactly know the amount as it is maintained by someone else on my team. We have another separate team that basically manages the financial part. 

We are a customer and end-user. 

We always want it updated to the latest version.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We are using all Trellix solutions, and we are also using all McAfee products. Our customers are using virus scan for the old platforms, Endpoint Security, MVISION, File and Folder Encryption, File and Folder Protection, and Device Control, but at the moment, I am really interested in the integration between the new Trellix solution like MVISION and FireEye.

It is a really strong solution for endpoint security.

There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better.

I have been using this solution for about six years.

Its stability is perfect.

Its scalability is perfect. In our company, we have between 2,000 and 3,000 users, but our installation has about 50,000 endpoints for all customers.

They're very good. I am in contact with their support about five times a day, and they respond quickly.

Positive

It was easy. I have been using Trellix since the carbon age. I have been using Trellix since the day it was released.

Its deployment doesn't take long. 

I customize every installation.

It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions.

Make a really detailed survey of all the systems before implementing any solution on the endpoint. Do not buy the license and try deployment after that.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

McAfee is a security-based company. All of their products are related to the security of networking. We have approximately 15 to 20 customers working with McAfee Endpoint Security.

McAfee Endpoint Security does not hang the machines. They are also not very heavy on the end-users.

Along with improving scalability, I would like DLP features to be added in to the endpoint security. 

I have been using McAfee Endpoint Security for almost 12 years.

The solution is quite stable.

I would give McAfee a 7 out of 10 for scalability, there is room to improve.

The initial installation is not complex. It does depend on how big your network is, but normally it's one day's work.

I believe their prices are very good. Our customers pay an annual license fee.

All of the endpoint security solutions have more or less the same kind of features. There is nothing exceptional about one product versus the other. McAfee is not as strong as other solutions like Kaspersky, Trend Micro, or Carbon Black.

I would not discourage anyone from using McAfee Endpoint Security as it is quite a strong solution. I would rate the solution a 7 out of 10.

The solution is specifically used at the endpoints. We do a lot of integrations with various clients. 

A single agent can cover multiple units.

The installation is pretty straightforward. 

The solution can integrate into other products.

The solution is not really stable. 

Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent. For example, they might say the issue will be addressed in the next release. Then, the release comes, and it is not available. Basically, we don't get a resolution from support.

This version is not very effective in our region.

The functionality of the product needs to improve the way it addresses zero-day threat levels.

We've been using the solution since 2003.

The stability isn't so great. We've had issues with it in general and have reached out to technical support for help. 

We have three to five people that use the product right now. In Pakistan, we have three offices in all three major cities and set up the solution for clients. We also use it in the offices.

Technical support is ineffective. Instead of dealing with the issue head-on, they tell us that the problem at hand will be fixed in the next release. They do not help at all.

However, our organization also offers technical support to our clients and we have a good experience - almost 20 years with McAfee and other solutions. We're good at troubleshooting.

We started using Symantec, then we adopted different technologies including McAfee and SSP, which includes Microsoft Defender. We keep changing based on the price structure in the market.

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It's pretty simple and rather straightforward. 

That said, I didn't handle the installation myself. We had a team that did it.

We did the installation with the main product that integrated with McAfee Endpoint Security. Between the two, the installation took a whole day, however, just the McAfee section takes about two or so hours. 

You do need to pay for a license. It's not a good idea to try and get a pirated copy.

We've looked into and worked with McAfee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, and Symantec.

We, at one time, were the official service partner for Symantec. We still provide support to the Pakistan market on behalf of Symantec.

While the solutions we use are on-premises, the latest upgraded services that we use are moving into the cloud, and the endpoints are on-premises. Now it's sort of a hybrid solution.

I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten.

I'd choose McAfee as maybe the third-best option, based on the experience I've had with it and the issues we've faced.

We are using McAfee Endpoint Security for network security.

There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec.

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.

In a future release, McAfee could improve by having a fewer resource-consuming agents. When you bundle up all the solutions with an agent, it becomes heavy for the endpoint to handle. This is one drawback that they should improve because some of their competitors, such as Trend Micro and Symantec both have low-consumption agents available.

McAfee has multiple solutions that can be combined together into a single product. There is no need to have this many solutions.

I have been using McAfee Endpoint Security for approximately 10 years.

McAfee Endpoint Security is stable. However, the way we implement it can impact stability sometimes. The stability can fluctuate because of the configuration that we have, or the different types of policy that we have on the endpoints. The configurations can be tweaked and tuned to make it becomes stable again.

The solution is scalable. We have approximately 80,000 endpoints on a single console. If we wanted to increase the number of endpoints it can scale higher.

The support from McAfee is far better than other vendors, such as Trend Micro and Symantec.

I have previously used Symantec and Trend Micro.

The initial setup for an experienced administrator should be easy. The setup can also be easy if you follow the very detailed guide which they call the KB guide that they provide. You can receive good support from the professional services team from McAfee. That is how many organizations usually do the initial setup.

I would advise others that are wanting to implement McAfee Endpoint Security to initially use help from the professional service team at McAfee, it will help a lot by making sure they do all the scalability and enviroment requirements. Additionally, they can ask questions based on their expectation and receive suggestions and answers. As an alternative, if you have an experienced person who is well-versed with implementations then I would use them, if not, I would always recommend using the professional service team at McAfee.

I rate McAfee Endpoint Security a seven out of ten.

We've only got two or three machines. The solution is simply used as an antivirus, however,  we've rolled it out to all of our customers and we use it as a managed service.

The solution has reduced false positives for our clients and ourselves.

It's got quite good ransomware detection.

The product can be deployed across mobile devices.

It has a managed service push deployment where we can push cloud tasks into policies. 

It's a really good product. It's stable and scalable. It offers good flexibility, has a small footprint, offers a minimal effect on performance, and is from a trusted brand.

We have found the deployment to be very fast.

Technical support is excellent.

We're still looking for weaknesses. The product is still quite new for us. That said, so far, every time I have thought, "I wonder if it can do this or it can do that." I've been able to do it.

McAfee has also asked us for feedback, and we noticed when we gave them suggestions, they worked to implement them. For example, we asked for the ability to leverage Windows Defender instead of creating an endpoint. They've just put that in so you can choose now what you want to do. You can change that deployment and push it out without any intervention by the client as well.

The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product.

We have been using the solution for about four or five months at this point. 

The stability is good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze.

The companies we work with range in size from small to large. 

The solution is very easy to scale.

I would rate technical support at a ten out of ten. They have been great. We have found them to be helpful and responsive. My personal interaction with them was absolutely brilliant.

The initial setup can be difficult the first time. You have the flexibility to give all sorts of setup options. You need to know, for example, do you want this, do you want that, do you want these exclusions? Do you want these exploit preventions? et cetera. There are a lot of components. It's going to be complicated initially, however, once you've done that and set it up for a customer, then it's very simple just to deploy it and roll it out.

We rolled out another customer on Friday, and that's 35 sites we've done so far - and I was able to do the whole lot remotely. It's quick to deploy. For clients, in terms of the deployment, I just simply send them a link to their emails and they just go click on it and it goes.

Once the product is deployed, there isn't any maintenance necessary. It's all controlled from a SaaS portal.

The pricing is okay. It's in the middle and there are actually surveys out and they all say that as well.

There's a couple of license options. You can choose a single license or you can choose what we call a MV2 license. Every single license gives you the ability to install a product on five other devices - including mobile. You get a Windows license and that enables you to install it on a tablet, iPhone, or Android device (up to five) as well.

We're a McAfee partner.

We are using the SaaS version. It's my understanding that we are on the latest version of the solution. 

We would recommend the solution to other companies. We actually sell it and provide it to all our clients.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten.

We use it for protecting our system nodes. It's run on Windows 7 and Windows 10.

The solution is stable.

You can scale the product.

Overall it's a good product that works well. 

Technical support is always available and very helpful.

The antivirus component is very good.

It's not very user-friendly as sometimes you have to install the agents and then the agents do not get deleted from the database. Due to this, we have to manually delete it from the nodes and then again we have to install it again. When distributing the product, sometimes things get confused and we need to clean up the temporary folder.

The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing. 

The products are getting obsolete too early. That's one of the issues we have with McAfee. They're coming up with new products too early. We installed 10.5 in 2016, and then in 2019, or 2020, we got 10.7. Now, 10.5 is obsolete. They are upgrading the versions too fast. Due to the fact that we have a subscription, we have to upgrade it to the next level which creates some maintenance issues. 

I have been working with the solution since 2016. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The only thing is the reliability. It changes so fast and versions become obsolete and it creates maintenance issues for us. 

The solution is scalable. We do plan to increase usage. Earlier, we had VirusScan Enterprise, however, now, as it is integrated into the ENS threat prevention, we are migrating.

We have 15 or 20 users on the solution right now. 

We have found the technical support to be very helpful. They are responsive and available when we need them to help us troubleshoot. We are satisfied with their level of service.

We haven't really used another solution in place of McAfee, although we do also use Symantec.

The initial setup is not so straightforward. It's difficult if you aren't used to McAfee. It takes time to get the hang of it. 

I'm just a customer and an end-user. I don't have a business relationship with McAfee.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.
