We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Trellix Endpoint Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We are connected to Microsoft and have every laptop enrolled. This acts as an endpoint. The tool helps me check security and compliance. I can also check what a device is doing."
"The most valuable features are spam filtering, attachment filtering, and antivirus protection."
"Having a single pane of glass for all Microsoft security services makes everything much easier. A security analyst can go to a single portal and see everything in one view. The integration of everything into one portal is a huge benefit."
"There is also one dashboard that shows us the status of many controls at once and the details I can get... It gives a great overview of many areas, such as files, emails, chats, and links. Even with the apps, it gives you a great overview. In one place you can see where you should look into things more deeply..."
"I like how Microsoft XDR and the other Microsoft products are integrated into a single unified security stack covering identity access management, endpoint protection, email, cloud applications, etc."
"The EDR and the way it automatically responds to ransomware and other attacks are valuable features."
"The integration between all the Defender products is the most valuable feature."
"We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks."
"The product has huge integration varieties available."
"I like that it's a SIEM platform. I like that I can sell Elastic Security quickly. Elastic Security has a large community that can support users."
"The feature that we have found the most valuable is scalability."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey."
"The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."
"I can look at events from more than one source across multiple different locations and find patterns or anomalies. The machine learning capabilities are helpful, and I can create rules for notifications to be more proactive rather than responding after something has gone wrong."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"The solution scales well."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"It has improved my organization because it helps with visibility, in terms of security. We can see the actual attack and can contain it. The antivirus can detect that."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"It would be beneficial to have a more seamless experience with everything consolidated in one place, particularly when dealing with aspects related to the Exchange console."
"Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs."
"Just like in any solution, the price can always be cheaper."
"Support is hit or miss. Microsoft wants you to buy premium support contracts. Though they call themselves professional support, it's almost like throwing questions into a black hole. You get an answer, but it's never helpful."
"When discussing the secure score, which includes overviews and recommended actions, some of these recommended actions are not applicable to us, particularly those related to Microsoft Internet Explorer, which we do not use in any of our environments."
"Advanced attacks could use an improvement."
"The abundance of sub-dashboards and sub-areas within the main dashboard can be confusing, even if it all technically makes sense."
"The dashboard should be easier to use. There is also improvement needed in the reporting when it comes to exporting or scheduling reports."
"Its documentation should be a bit better. I have to spend at least a couple of hours to find the solution for a simple thing. When we buy Elastic, training is not included for free with Elastic. We have to pay extra for the training. They should include training in the price."
"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions."
"This solution is very hard to implement."
"Their visuals and graphs need to be better."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"Elastic Security's maintenance is hard and its scalability is a challenge. There are complications in scaling and upgrading. The solution needs to also provide periodic upgrade checks."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"The management console is a little bit difficult to understand for admins. You need a lot of time in order to become familiar with that. It is a little bit complicated and not too easy to understand. Its price can also be improved. Its price is higher than its competitors. McAfee also needs to have better cloud integration and more data centers in the EU. The cloud center should be in Europe or in Germany. In Germany, it is really important to have access to your data within the same country. Customer data needs to be placed and processed in the same country."
"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."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
