Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) solutions apply proactive threat intelligence and defenses across the entire attack lifecycle to keep organizations safer and more resilient.
Symantec was very old school like for a constantly evolving digital world. Carbon Black Endpoint appeared to be both more user friendly and also have detection tools we found more useful to us than Symantec.
CB Defense offered a more comprehensive way to manage and protect all our endpoints irrespective of their presence on/off our LANs. It also gives our administrators dynamic visibility into the activity/processes running on our endpoints. The other solutions would require either …
We evaluated 3 other competitors and determined that Cb Defense was the best "bang for the buck" when it comes to Next-Generation Anti Virus. Their support (and sales) teams have been very helpful and offered a tremendous level of transparency. Our sales representative went …
We like the visibility in Defense. The other two products would alert on a potential issue, but details of what actually occurred to cause the alert weren't readily apparent. Defense provides all the detail of where/what/who was doing something that was alert worthy. It also …
Cb is cloud-based and has a more advanced policy management. It also has better forensics information. Cost was similar, but Cb added cost savings in terms of IT management resources. We also have the ability to talk directly with engineers and have input on feature updates.
Some of the other products did not allow you to whitelist items on a Mac. We are a heavy Mac shop so this was a requirement. Cb Defense had superior reporting, making it easy to track what was happening on a machine and how to respond. We ran known malware and zero days …
At the time we took the decision all other products seemed to be complicated in usage and licensing. Trellix was very simple in all the aspects: licensing, usage, support. It also was very simple to deploy, setup and manage. Product interface was simple to understand and even …
All in one protection for endpoint devices, the data loss prevention, and adaptive threat protection is the best advantage against other competitors. The cost for the platform and service is very effective and efficient. The usage and capability of this software is very edge …
Unlike Trellix Endpoint Security Symantec Endpoint provides less information about events on the user side. Trellix give an opportunity to see information about virus detection on a user machine as quick as it possible, so we were able to catch the signs of virus propagation …
It has fewer false positive issues. It also provides more compatibility with a variety of different OS versions. The sensor installation is easy to use, update and maintain as well as the reporting capabilities that it can offer are more robust than the ones that other …
Compared to its competitors like Cisco, McAfee is cheaper. At the competitive pricing levels, McAfee Endpoint Security does a good job. Although it stacks up finely against decent priced solutions but it doesn't provide superior service if the price limit is scaled down or up. …
Compared to Endgame and AMP, McAfee Endpoint Security doesn't hold a candle to them when it comes to detecting/advanced identifying malware or zero days. Since Mcafee Endpoint Security is signature-based, it is way behind the curve with newer anti-malware tools that can focus …
We were using Microsoft Defender in the beginning as it was free and quite good. But as we got acquired by a large MNC, we were asked to switch to McAfee as we had to follow the company guidelines which takes data security very seriously and personally. I think the switch did …
The solution is already in place when I join the organization. I do not have any information on what other antivirus software they evaluated before decided to purchase McAfee Endpoint Security.
McAfee is a strong, if not strongest A/V solution in the endpoint security space. It's wide adoption and strong support and positive reviews from companies like Gartner and Forrester back it up.
If you have Cisco tools and equipment globally in place and just for the clients additionally McAfee you should have a deeper look. We wanted to install end-2-end security over all networks and hardware. This was a big point for Cisco. For a managed client team, Cisco is a step …
McAfee Endpoint Security has a better GUI, better pricing, stronger features, and agent deployment is much faster. Their firewall is extremely good, and for those reasons I would firmly recommend it over other solutions (Kaspersky, Symantec etc). Like I mentioned earlier, do …
McAfee Endpoint Security provides a single platform for Firewall, AV and web control. With the new console and integration between the components, threat detection is superior.
McAfee is a cheaper price point, however Kaspersky out performs McAfee in every category. We went with McAfee, because many of the team members in IT were familar with it, less training (short term), and lower cost (short term)
Advanced Threat Protection, or ATP in Office 365 was awful. Some attachments wouldn't be delivered at all while others took minutes and sometimes hours to be delivered after being scanned. It was causing us to lose business. FireEye processes attachments in less than 60 seconds …
We only selected McAfee because we are already using ESET NOD32 for the protection of our desktops and laptops. We didn't want to use the same software for our servers so we chose McAfee instead. I personally like ESET Smart Security better than McAfee when deploying it on a …
Trellix Endpoint Security ENS interfaces better with other tools and is simpler to use. provides wider endpoint protection and more centralized control than SentinelOne's automatic response. Trellix Endpoint Security ENS preserves McAfee's dependability while offering newer …
Cb Defense works great to protect systems from known and unknown malware. It is simple to deploy and manage. You might run into some issues if you run a lot of unsigned applications or scripts in your IT environment. If that is the case, you can whitelist certain paths for your scripts to run. You can whitelist the individual applications and certs if you have them.
During the pandemic all our users worked remotely that was challenging from security perspective, so we had to deploy the endpoint protection system with cloud based monitoring server. By doing that we were able to keep safety for users workspaces even though some of them did not connect to VPN for a long time
It uses a thin, low-performance consuming, client.
It constantly monitors endpoint activity and processes, efficiently, and effectively blocking harmful apps.
It not only identifies and blocks apps known to be harmful, but prevents unknown, suspicious processes/apps from executing unless allowed in a defined policy.
We have only needed support on a couple occasions (which is a positive), but they weren't able to really resolve either issue.
This brings me to my second con, which is that we have only used three sensor packages (the installed client) and have had issues crop up with two out of three.
My biggest flak with McAfee Endpoint Security is that it is quite resource-intensive. It does tend to make the system a little slow. You get security at the expense of your machine's speed.
Even though the drive encryption makes the system more secure, it takes a lot of time to first enter the very long password, and then for it to decrypt the whole machine. This sometimes clashes with Windows update and causes a lot of complications which leads to boot loops.
Overall the support that we have received from Carbon Black has been a very positive experience. This was especially true when we were in the evaluation (POC) period and needed them to meet with us on a frequent basis. Additionally when we have had technical questions regarding deployment via SCCM, we were able to find the answers we needed by contacting their Support team.
The support is pretty good, and I haven't had any issues with getting the highest quality technical support when there are issues. Tech support representatives that I have dealt with know the product quite well and have solved many issues that I have had with the product in the past. The only issue I have with support is that it can be quite expensive.
We evaluated 3 other competitors and determined that Cb Defense was the best "bang for the buck" when it comes to Next-Generation Anti Virus. Their support (and sales) teams have been very helpful and offered a tremendous level of transparency. Our sales representative went above and beyond to work with us on making sure that the pricing fit in our budget. One of the other competitors that we reached out to never even contacted us back so they were immediately eliminated as a possible AV solution.
We only selected McAfee because we are already using ESET NOD32 for the protection of our desktops and laptops. We didn't want to use the same software for our servers so we chose McAfee instead. I personally like ESET Smart Security better than McAfee when deploying it on a desktop or laptop because I think it protects the PC better. When it comes to web protection, policy updates, etc., McAfee is the better choice and that's why we deployed it on our servers.
It actually stooped a memory scraper from stealing credit card data from our POS system. The casino was bought from awhile back, so coming into this place 4 years ago, we had a flat network. Not good with POS System. Well, a memory scraper was released (employee downloaded a game) and Cb Defense just killed it... This was before a live response, so we pulled the system from the network.
I can't really say anything negative, at least from an ROI point of view.
This tool helped us in delegating the asset safety responsibility to the client level by 80%, leaving 20% for the management console.
With a decent pricing, the benefits are slightly above expectations. The ROI is good.
But, considering most of the malware comes from internet, with a good email security appliance and next gen firewall in place, the online security alerts are now redundant. It could be something that can be termed as overkill on the budget.
