Ivanti Security Controls vs. Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator

Agentless patching is the best of all the products I've used. The real-time updates that don't require re-scanning after each step is great.

[McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator] seems to be better suited to large enterprise applications... I don't feel it really suits the or self-managed SMB market. The general joe is not going to understand how to wield this product to it's full potential. For those of us managing large networks, this is a very ideal product for managing multiple sites and users.

• Trusted ownership checking is a good way to implement effective basic protection.
• Patching is important today to react quickly to security problems. With Security Controls, it's easier than ever before.
• One console for whole security.

• Static malware scans for known bad processes and files works well and can be schedules on endpoints easily
• Preventing users from accessing USB drives and other peripherals is easily configured. We can also allow users to access to USB drives with user codes for the times they need it for business reasons.
• ePO provides access into our MSME software so that we're not managing many different products from different locations.
• In recent years the console has gotten much easier to navigate even though there is a ton of information to be accessed.

Incentivized

• Performance of the console when using agentless machines.
• The console layout is a bit cumbersome - would be better if all functions were accessible from one screen.
• Common deployment examples to assist with deployment types.

Incentivized

• It has a slow mechanism when adding custom threat feeds. For example, if McAfee didn't have a signature or detection about a new virus and we try to add it to our console it is like a really big process in adding that to our available signatures.
• Whenever a scan is performed, the system CPU utilization goes up 100 percent.
• Installation fails due to difference in timestamp when we try to shuffle between packages.

Because the company is evaluating other products.

User friendly, what is the only point to be improved is about the inheritance of policies and tasks.

Outage only during upgrade... but not impact the environment.

Support wasn't used as the cost didn't justify the expense. We have yet to use the support.

McAfee support is definitely GREAT! It is one of the best technical support on a business level. GOLD support is recommended to business. Their website is easy and quick to create a ticket. Their technical team usually responds right away with an email or call. Via call and web they provide a full and complete support until the issue is resolved. The best, most of the time they explain in detail what is the issue, the reason and how to resolve it.

Since we have been using Application Control for about 15 years, it is, of course, the best solution for us. We also looked at other products (RES One Workspace), but they didn't convince us. Some features of RES were good and are now part of the User Workspace Manager. The Microsoft solution seems too complicated to us and does not have the advantages of Trusted Ownership Checking.

I have used Symantec Endpoint Encryption before. Symantec and EPO are both good in their own ways. EPO allows integration of other McAfee products. I have been using ePolicy Orchestrator for years. I have a lot of experience with the product. That is why I like it.

Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator is a great tool, and provide complete security with Endpoint Suite.
