I rate the ease of setup a seven or eight out of ten. The platform functions very well. We need technical support to make improvements to the platform. The deployment takes eight months. We need two or three system engineers and one electronic engineer specialized in Trellix platforms to deploy the tool. We need only one system engineer to maintain the product.

I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a ten out of ten. Deployment takes two days and a team of two people. We start by updating the IPS, setting it up, and then testing it in our network for a few weeks to make sure it is working well. Once we are sure it is doing its job, we smoothly bring it into our production network without any problems.

I rate the product's initial setup phase a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase.

The solution is deployed on the hybrid cloud.

Once you learn the ropes and understand how the deployment functions, the initial setup was pretty straightforward. The tool has made it quite easy.

The initial setup is easy and takes a few hours to complete. I rate the process a nine out of ten.

I give the initial setup an eight out of ten.

For the initial setup, you should be using the database. Enter the user name and password for these databases. Make a management IP for core components between Network Security Manager and IPS sensor. After you enter the CLI for the setup, there is a wizard view to enter the IP address of the management interface for the IPS sensor. The gateway, manager IP address, and peer manager IP address share secret keys, which should exist in the manager before you set up your IP sensor. After that, you have a left channel and packet channel between IPS sensor and network security manager over port 8501, 8502, and 8503. Another port should be opened for your firewall if there is a firewall or layer three devices between these two components to be managed from Network Security Manager. This is the first general installation of Network Security Manager after making the configurations. This is the initial setup. After that, you will have to try to make the policies: ITS policies, mindware policies, condition limiting policies, firewall policies, and advanced policies. This is what will happen. Then there is also customizing dashboards and tuning.

I worked as a system integrator and deployed it for the customer. Most of these customers are in critical areas, so downtime needs to be low and they might want the deployment time to be improved, but overall the time during all the setup takes me between two and three days.

From my company's side, I work alone to deploy. From the customer side, maybe two or three engineers are involved. Then there might be one or two people to handle maintenance, but McAfee is responsible for their product maintenance most of the time.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. It's not complex. You can manage the process online, and the configuration of the solution is easy. It doesn't take long at all.

That said, I have not fully deployed the product into a client environment.

The implementation is not complex. It's quite straightforward. We find the entire process to be rather easy.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. It's not complex. A company should be able to implement it easily. 

The deployment doesn't take too long. It's pretty quick. This is especially true if you have an abundance of experience.

The initial setup was not straightforward. It was a bit complex in our case.

I can't recall how long deployment took for us.

Deployment depends on the environment, on one of our projects, a minimum of four to seven months. You need about three people minimum for the deployment. We are defining service use agreements, and the support comes out and does preventative maintenance for two visits every month. For maintenance, you only need one person.

The deployment was a little difficult, I did it myself.
