Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Reviews

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 Trellix in an OT environment where it is being used as an orchestrator to deploy endpoint security and application controls in our network. We are using its DLP product in OT end points.

We use ENS as our main antivirus tool. The activation of features within ENS and the collection of threats into a single console is a strong point. There are some features we're not using, mainly related to IT environments. For us, ENS is primarily an antivirus and adaptive threat prevention tool. The threats received from endpoints received in ePO consoles which can be relayed on SMTP server to get real time updates on threats.

The deployment of products through ePO is very useful in managing multiple endpoints and deploying policies as per organizational requirements . Working manually on those endpoints is time-consuming and tedious. Threats and case management, Automation tasks, generating reports, those are some good points to be considered.

The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious and time consuming task. After raising the call onto the technical support portal, usually receive a notification after 24 hours. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to conclude and resolve the issue. If 24/7 online support or a phone line where we could speak directly with technical support for real-time troubleshooting, that would be very helpful.

Licensing is another aspect where trellix should look into. Different purchases are grouped together in single user account get mixed up. Categorization of purchases and their grant numbers is not available to end user.

I have been using it for eight years. 

It's very stable. If configured correctly, it's very smooth and doesn't cause frequent issues.

We have like 500 installations. It is very scalable. 

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten.

There is room for improvement in the customer service and support.

Positive

We had McAfee virus scan approved for OT endpoints but were using manual deployment methods. After introducing ePO architecture we have migrated to ENS, application control and DLP. Now, we've adopted more Trellix products. 

We use symentec and txOne as well, but for standalone systems only.

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy and one being difficult. 

The deployment takes moderate amount of time. Some of the products were installed quickly, but others remain in configuration. So, it's not too fast, but it's moderately quick.

So, it takes two to three hours.

In house expertise is available for installation, deployment and management.

The pricing is reasonable. 

NA

I would recommend Trellix because I am satisfied with its overall performance and functionality.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

We use the product to provide system security for shared data on the network.

The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment.

The product could be flexible and offer better pricing. They should make it free, open-source software.

We have been using McAfee Endpoint Security for ten years.

The platform is stable.

The platform is scalable. A minimum of five licenses are required for ten executives.

Our IT team requires deployment assistance from the product’s technical support team.

The initial setup process is easy if you have the required technical skills. It takes 30 minutes to complete. A team of around 20 technicians is involved in the deployment.

We implement the product with the help of our technical staff.

We pay for the product’s license. They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software.

We evaluated three vendors. We decided to go to McAfee Endpoint Security for better availability, ease of use, and deployment.

I recommend McAfee Endpoint Security to others and rate it a seven out of ten.

We use the solution for security purposes.

The solution is valuable for security aspects.

The solution should respond faster. Whenever Trelix runs, the system slows down.

I have been using Trellix for two years. We are using the latest version of the solution.

The product’s stability is good.

I rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten.

The solution is scalable. Around 3,000 users are using this solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

Technical support is good. They respond faster.

The initial setup is simple.

Ten people are required for maintenance.

You should monitor how efficiently the solution functions, how it will impact your system, and how many files will be processed. The more files your system has, the more security time is needed to scan them daily. Due to this, your system may become slower. Trelix ensures the system does not slow down even when Trelix runs in the background.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

The solution enables me to monitor all my endpoints and ensure that our agents are reporting to the FireEye management server. That is key for allowing us to see any suspicious traffic coming in. I'm the delivery manager and we are customers of FireEye. 

I like the console and the GUI is user-friendly. One of the most important and critical features is containment. Suppose something gets infected and there's the possibility of it spreading laterally and causing a problem or compromising a network. FireEye has a feature that enables it to disconnect from a system network so that the infection doesn't spread. 

Even if an incident occurs at night when support teams are not available, the feature can contain the infection so that when the support teams get to work, they can carry out the remediation part and bring the system back to production.

I'd like to see the searches enhanced because when I hand over the product to someone without experience, it should be user-friendly to them as well. If the feature was enhanced, and the amount of data that comes in reduced, it would simplify the process for anyone. 

I've been using this solution for two years. 

The solution is stable.

I haven't had any issues with scalability. 

The support is pretty good, we haven't had any problems. 

Neutral

We had a separate team implementing FireEye and there didn't seem to be any issues so I think deployment was relatively straightforward. 

I prefer FireEye to solutions like CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, and Trend Micro which are not as user-friendly. FireEye is also easier to integrate with the SIEM, so all the logs get pushed and there are no issues getting the device integrated with SIEM. 

I rate this solution nine out of 10. 

FireEye replaces our traditional antivirus solutions like Symantec and McAfee and covers multiple business use cases, including EDR. 

We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye.

Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself. 

I I have used FireEye for 10 months.

I rate Endpoint Security seven out of 10. There is room for improvement and development. 

FireEye is a cloud-based application, so it's easy to extend by purchasing more licenses. 

FireEye responds promptly, and their support has been excellent so far.

Deploying Endpoint Security is hassle-free. We uninstalled our legacy antivirus system and deployed FireEye. We created a package and deployed it across the servers manually. 

I rate FireEye Endpoint Security eight out of 10. Explore the solution and see what benefits it can offer your organization. I recommend FireEye depending on the customer's needs and use cases. 

MVISION offers decent protection.

The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release. 

I've been using MVISION for three years.

MVISION is stable.

MVISION is scalable. 

Setting up MVISION is easy.

We have an annual license and pay extra for support.

I rate McAfee MVISION Endpoint six out of 10. It's a good product, but not the best. I wouldn't recommend it to others because it's not secure enough. 

My company uses Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) to protect our computers.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it works fine with stability.

From an improvement perspective, I want everything in the solution to be free. I don't consider myself to be so sophisticated when it comes to Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS).

I have been using the trial version of Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS), but I have experience with the tool for around four years. I don't remember the version of the solution.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

I used the solution's technical support and was satisfied with their responses.

I have experience with Microsoft Defender, AVG, and Norton.

The product's initial setup was straightforward.

The solution's deployment by an end user can be done in three minutes.

I recommend the solution to others who plan to use it.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.
