We performed a comparison between Mandiant Advantage 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."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..."
"All of the security components are valuable including, antiphishing, antispam, and stage three antivirus."
"We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are spam filtering, attachment filtering, and antivirus protection."
"Microsoft XDR's system of analysis and investigation is super convenient for our customers. It integrates with other Microsoft solutions like Defender for 365 to protect email traffic from malicious external web links and phishing."
"I like the easy integration and advanced possibilities. We can implement it at customer sites in a few clicks, but we can also dive deep and drill down to extended features. There's a very good starting point to get into this product and all the features from Defender."
"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 feature I have found most valuable is directory monitoring. We experienced an instance of threat actors trying to ensure a complex and massive attack against our customer's infrastructure on the forum. That is, they were animating people on a formum. The solution alerted us to this two days ahead of the attack, which gave us plenty of time to prepare for it."
"It is so valuable to have someone performing these functions outside of our business hours when we don't have staff in the building. We've seen a lot of solid metrics on the amount of malware that it's detecting and resolving. We're pleased with it so far."
"The advantage of the solution is being able to go look up threat actors and get a lot of detailed information about different attacks and different tactics and general information about threats."
"The solution is stable."
"The new central console is better than the earlier one."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"McAfee EndPoint Security has a lot of good features that work well if they are implemented properly."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"This solution could be improved if it included features such as those offered by Malwarebytes."
"I'd like to see a wider solution that includes not only desktop devices but also other devices, such as servers, storage cabinets, switching equipment, et cetera."
"The support from Microsoft could improve. There are times I have to wait for a response from a qualified specialist."
"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."
"The price could be better. It'll also help if they can continuously update and upgrade the solution. Every day there's a new virus uploaded into the network, and we have to keep updating it to identify all these things."
"In the Microsoft Azure Portal, in Active Directory, if there is anything on the user it will provide you with the information, but you still have to go through it a bit. And sometimes, I have experienced difficulties in understanding the information, especially because the synchronization between Microsoft Intune and the devices that are connected to the user in Azure Active Directory takes a lot of time."
"The management features could be improved, particularly in terms of better integration with Intune, Microsoft's cloud-based management solution."
"Sometimes, configurations take much longer than expected."
"I think that the data query that is used for data cloud language should be improved. It's really hard to query actual data from the platform."
"Mandiant's on-prem client is too processor-intensive, so it's putting a strain on the local device's CPU. When a scan is running on the device, the other processing tasks slow to a crawl. We're still trying to figure out the correct settings for the client."
"They could have better support. Now that they've merged, they are moving towards a portal system, which isn't very helpful."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The interface is complex."
"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
