Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Reviews

We're using MVISION Endpoint for the protection of our endpoint devices.

What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue.

I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is.

So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better.

I started using MVISION Endpoint last year. It was preceded by the MVISION ePO.

McAfee MVISION Endpoint is a stable product.

McAfee MVISION Endpoint has no issues in terms of scalability. You just need money to make scaling up possible.

The support for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is okay. I have no complaints about it.

On a scale of one to five, where one is bad and five is good, I would rate support for the product as four out of five.

The initial setup for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is pretty easy.

We used a consultant for the deployment of McAfee MVISION Endpoint.

I don't have information on ROI from McAfee MVISION Endpoint because a separate unit takes care of those calculations.

Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is.

There were other solutions in use, but that was before I joined my department, so I don't know which solutions were used before my company went with McAfee MVISION Endpoint.

I have some experience with McAfee MVISION Endpoint, and I'm currently using it. I can't remember the exact version of the solution which I'm using, but it's the latest version.

My company is a customer of McAfee MVISION Endpoint.

My company is a telco, so I don't have the exact user count, but it's surely more than a hundred. All roles within my company use the product, even people at the highest levels.

At the moment, there's no plan to increase usage of McAfee MVISION Endpoint within the company.

My advice for people looking into implementing McAfee MVISION Endpoint is to use the demo, roll it out within your organization, utilize its functionalities, and let it work for you.

In terms of rating, I'm giving McAfee MVISION Endpoint a solid eight because it does what's needed and it works, so no complaints.

We are using this solution for endpoint security against cyber attacks.

FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others.

Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive.

I have been using FireEye Endpoint Security for a couple of months.

This solution is scalable. However, it could improve to be able to be handle large-scale operations. The OS most systems are running I am not sure it can handle a lot of nodes but many companies are coming out with cloud options that should be able to manage much more nodes.

Technical support can take some time to respond on the first level. They could improve the speed at which they resolve and handle support.

We have an administrator and engineer that does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

I have evaluated Carbon Black and FortiEDR.

I would not recommend this solution to others. However, if you have a small budget then this solution could be a second option.

I rate FireEye Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

We just run it in the background and potentially scan any wireless or malicious file. It must be the same setup.

Maybe the performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit when I start it up in the morning.

We have had this solution for over three years now. It's enterprise security. We use the latest version. 

It's stable. It's just that I don't have to use it very often. I can go weeks without having to deal with any issues. If something does pop up, it's usually pretty easy to fix. I just let the people who know what they're doing handle it.

It's scalable enough for our needs. I don't see any problems right now. There are about 55 users in two branches of our company.

We haven't needed to use tech support. We are an IT company, so we usually take care of our own devices.

The setup is not that complex. It takes five to ten minutes to set up. It's mostly this is our old devices.

It's a self-deployable solution, so we don't need any technical staff for deployment.

We do need to pay for a license.

Overall, I would rate the solution a six out of ten. 

MVISION Endpoint is the management software for McAfee that manages the Windows Defender. It manages the Windows Defender anti-malware, Windows Defender Exploit Guard, and Windows Defender Firewall. These are the three main components that McAfee manages centrally from an ePO, and that ePO can be an on-premises ePO management server, or it can be an MVISION ePO management server on McAfee cloud. So, management can be both on the cloud and on-premises.

It's simple and very easy to use. Before MVISION Endpoint, McAfee had their own Endpoint Security software called ENS, which included their anti-malware engine. Even though ENS was a comprehensive product and a very good product as well, it was confusing for some professionals. 

In the times that we live in now, an IT personnel, even a specialized one, is a generalist. So you have an IT person who is managing the firewall and endpoint security, and also managing the ERP and backups, and the switches as well. Everything in the environment will be handed over to a single person.

A product like McAfee ENS is pretty extensive and allows for advanced configurations, especially for security professionals. However, IT personnel often fail to configure it properly. MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle. This is what I really like about it.

McAfee has an on-premises ePO server, which you can install on your environment. You can add your infrastructure and push the agents all from the console; so you literally don't have to do anything on your own. From the dashboard, you'll push the agents, install them, configure them, and manage them all from the console.

McAfee has several MVISION products. It will be really amazing if they could be consolidated into one dashboard. As of now, I know that this is on the roadmap and is expected to be released very soon. It'll unify the management of the various MVISION portfolios. It will be a great tool for improvement.

Instead of needing separate management consoles to manage some of the products in the portfolio, a unified console for MVISION Cloud, MVISION EDR, MVISION Endpoint, MVISION DLP, and the remaining MVISION portfolio would be great. I believe that McAfee is addressing this at present.

A drawback with the cloud MVISION ePO is that you can't push agents from the cloud portal. You need to download that agent, and you need to figure out a way to install that agent into the machines.

I'd like to see MVISION Endpoint for other platforms because MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint.

I'd like to see it in the Mac operating system as well. I'd like to see cross-compatibility, which would be great. Even though McAfee has a simpler product for Androids and the iOS, it would be great to see the ease of use of MVISION Endpoint across the portfolio.

I've been using it for two years.

McAfee doesn't provide the security software. It manages the security software which is built in to the Windows 10 and Windows Servers 2016 and above. Unlike McAfee ENS, which uses its own software to do the scanning and its own signature database that could add lots of clutter to the operating system, MVISION Endpoint uses Windows Defender, so there's no added overhead for the machines. As a result, it is pretty stable.

In terms of scalability, you can deploy as many agents to as many machines and protect them from the ePO, whether it's an on-premises ePO or one on the cloud.

Technical support is great. I didn't have to interact with them that much, but they provided good support at the times when I had to reach them. They were responsive; that is, I'd get a response within the same day.

In my experience, the installation has been straightforward.

The only major issue is that if a client is going to have his ePO on the cloud, his management server will be on the cloud. So I will need to push agents to lots of machines. There is no automated deployment from the cloud to on-premises machines. That means that I need to download the McAfee agents and have to take care of the deployment and the automation on my own.

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.

With MVISION Endpoint, even if you don't know about cybersecurity, you can just turn on the protection checkbox. It's that easy. It was really relatable to my experience with Sophos because the configuration there was also that simple, so I really liked it.

For those who can't afford expensive cybersecurity professionals but are responsible for configuring the security of the organization, MVISION Endpoint is a good product to go with. It's flexible, and you can manage it from the cloud or on-premises.

At present, it is often used by small businesses because of its ease of use, configuration, and deployment.

It's been around on the market for a long time, and has undergone many improvements. So, on a scale from one to ten, I would rate McAfee MVISION Endpoint at eight.

We moved on to FireEye HX as an endpoint solution. Mainly, this is the next-generation endpoint protection where it protects the endpoints not just from the office network but also from roaming. Its capability seeing today's threat actors is the best one.

This gives us a more secure and completely scalable zero-day model security product to the endpoint. We manage not only the software but also the next-gen AV.

All the features of HX give the administrator control over the managed devices:

• Managing is easy
• The different threat actor based signature
• Behavioural analysis
• Malware protection
• Zero-day protection

IOC based detections are really the best ones. However, the enterprise search option is a hunting option given to the admin.

• AV management based on manual scan
• Manual scan feature is not easily done
• A long way of setting hostname set, and
• Scheduling over policy which is time taking and I don't feel comfortable. 

Excellent.

Performance wise, it's good. The agent does not consume much process or CPU.

Great support, a well technology-minded guy with a proactive and ready-to-resolve easy attitude.

The deployment was easy.

In-house, and sometimes getting help from the product vendor.

Though it's expensive, it gives the security required to be trusted with the product.

Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is an easy-to-manage platform.

The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses. It would be easier to deploy if included in the package as a virtual appliance.

We have been using Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) for two and a half years.

It is a stable platform.

The technical support services are good. However, its response time could be better.

Neutral

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment time depends on the number of devices. It ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks. It is suitable for small as well as enterprise businesses.

Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price.

We evaluated vSphere and CrowdStrike. In comparison, Trellix is an inexpensive product. 

Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS)’s cloud version is superior to the on-premise version. It should support other operating systems like Linux. I rate it a nine out of ten.

We use this solution to enhance our internal defense system, protecting us against malware and advanced persistent threats.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

This solution has helped to protect our organization against security threats.

The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity. The triage process is quite effective, and it is compatible with many different systems.

We had a very large problem that has, unfortunately, not been solved. Simply put, when we start the computer the program will not start. We have encouraged FireEye to solve this problem because we have to manually start this product each and every time, and it affects almost thirty percent of our environment. From a security perspective, this is not stable.

After using various components in this solution, I get the feeling that not every part of the whole FireEye suite works perfectly with the other parts. Sometimes you have this functionality where the product has the ability to take data from one part of the solution and use it in different parts. Sometimes, however, you don't have this luxury. The solution needs more suitable dashboards that handle things from different perspectives. For example, a CEO and a technician from operations are completely different. The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better.

We have had trouble with stability because the program fails to start when the computer does. 

This solution is very flexible and scalable.

This solution needs stronger support in Eastern Europe because of the time difference between, for example, Poland and the United States. It makes it difficult to contact technical support. In order to receive good support, we have to wait until 5:00 pm before we call. Essentially, the vender needs a better presence in more time zones, and 24/7 support would help to fix this.

Technical support has another problem, where the support from the US is better than the support elsewhere. The training and knowledge should be the same, no matter which tech support group you contact. This might be accomplished using a better internal knowledge sharing system.

We did use another solution prior to this, but because we have the entire FireEye suite, we decided to create a more monolithic approach to security using different products. These include FireEye EX and FireEye AX, which are used for malware protection, network protection, and sandboxing. We decided that if these were good enough then we would push more for the endpoints, which is why we adopted this solution.

The installation of this solution is straightforward from my perspective.

I like FireEye products, and they have a huge portfolio for this solution. However, this is not a magic bullet where you can install it and your problems will disappear. The problem is with the people, rather than the tool. From my perspective, you can install every tool, but you need to have a security operations team involved in the process of analyzing, sorting, and eliminating threats.

When we started our project, we had very few people and we have realized that this had to change. The system without human intervention is useless. We needed to build more complex security operation centers to handle false positives, the triage process, and eliminating threats.

The biggest lesson that I have learned from this solution is that people need to be ready and the business needs to be ready to use it. This is not a toy. It is a very mature solution to protect the internals of the organization and it should be treated in this way.

This is not the worse product that I have seen. I've seen many, many bad products. At the same time, this is not the best product that I have seen.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

McAfee MVISION Endpoint is used for endpoint security across all platforms, including mobile and desktop users. 

All endpoint-related activities for which the company has a charter.

In my opinion, it's a pretty good product.

I have not received any complaints about the performance.

I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use. We are looking forward to having more unified management.

We have been using McAfee MVISION Endpoint for one year. We have recently implemented it.

McAfee MVISION Endpoint has been stable.

We have not yet scaled it, but I believe that it is scalable.

Our organization has 7,000 users.

I'm not sure if the technical teams have done so, but I haven't contacted technical support.

We are using Cisco Umbrella, as well as McAfee.

Our own team performed the installation. I didn't hear any complaints, so I guess it's pretty simple.

To deploy and maintain, we have a team of two administrators and one manager.

It is based on an annual subscription.

I would definitely recommend McAfee MVISION Endpoint because it is cloud-based app management and requires little maintenance.

I would rate, McAfee MVISION Endpoint, an eight out of ten.
