The tool provides excellent sandboxing and email security features, but the backup and recovery features are not good
If my primary solution is down, no backup solution is available to restore it. It is one of the biggest weaknesses of the platform. If I need to update the solution, there is no option to pick the events and the logs from it and deploy it in another solution. The backup and recovery features of the product are not good. I need backup. If the tool is down for some time, I cannot get the logs at that particular time.

Strong endpoint protection has simplified compliance and reduced effort for large user environments
One of the best features of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is its endpoint security, and I have been using it for the last four and a half to five years, so I can say this is one of the best EDR endpoint security solutions I have ever seen. The features that make Trellix Endpoint Security Platform stand out for me are ease of use and analytics, which I really appreciate the most. Trellix Endpoint Security Platform positively impacts my organization, ensuring we are compliant with SOC 2, HIPAA, and all other compliance requirements, so there are no issues with that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
"The email security feature is really good."
"The Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform provides visibility into telemetry data, enabling comprehensive monitoring of environmental activities."
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"
"The features of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform have greatly improved my day-to-day work; I no longer lose sleep over potential data breaches or ransomware attacks as the solution gives me peace of mind, allowing my users to work from various locations with less concern about security."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"A big advantage of McAfee Endpoint Security is the ability to manage very big environments. We are supporting environments with 200,000 to 300,000 endpoints. The ability to manage with one single console is very important for us. McAfee has phenomenally improved in terms of detection. It provides real-time detection and response with the error, Real Protect, and reputations. It is not only based on signatures but also on behavior analytics, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. We have environments that never had issues with ransomware in the last 20 years. McAfee has a very good performance in this field."
"It is generally a valuable tool that helps us with our security."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"I think McAfee is the best solution; anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
 

Cons

"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack."
"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."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"Regarding how Trellix Endpoint Security Platform can be improved, I find that intuitive problem solving is not very easy with Trellix Endpoint Security Platform, leading to the need to consistently reach out to the help desk, and it would be quite helpful if things were more intuitive and first-line problem solving was made easier."
"They could provide better integration capabilities for the product with other services."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."
"It ended up not being what we hoped for in an endpoint solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has competitive pricing."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"Annual license fee is good"
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
"The product pricing is high."
"Pricing is fair."
