Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection vs. Trellix MOVE AntiVirus

If an organization is all Windows-based Active Directory systems, then System Center Endpoint Protection is worth deploying and using. If it's a hybrid of operating systems, then an alternative solution is best.

Earlier, we were using the free version of antivirus but it is allowing some of the viruses and not protecting more. So After using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus we were confident about security and privacy. As we found some scenarios where it has given us an alert regarding the virus and we have successfully removed it.

• It is easy to use and configure. This is a benefit, not just for the IT/Admin team, but also for the end-user, as they can easily set how and when to run scans.
• It is good a identifying threats and removing these threats. When looking for a product such as this, it is important to really look at these two areas to really see how the software will work in a real-world environment. SCEP is one such product that does really well at both of these things.

• It ensures the protection of our servers and fights back with viruses.
• It is able to sustain equilibrium.
• We don’t have to have a massive kind of free storage to make it work.

• Not so much a limitation on the software itself, but the fact that is primarily only "signature" based, it cannot detect threats that have mutated.
• This software provides virtually no protection against zero-day threats.
• The System Center Endpoint Protection does not offer protections based on behavioral analysis.

• Not really any concerns for the remote user.

It is integrated with Windows and SCCM, making it easy to use, license, manage, and update. Additionally, it is straightforward to diagnose when virus and ransomware alerts are detected on endpoints. IT Service Desk management is also easy.

Support is pretty good overall. Since it's a Microsoft product, there are a number of different options for either end-users or IT Admins to get help with this product. This includes phone support, email, web KB articles, community forums, etc. This support is also available 24/7, which can't be said the same for every AV product out there. Also, organizations can opt to buy into Enterprise support, which gives the added benefit of faster response times, training by the vendor, etc.

Have not had to access a great deal of additional support. The installation is smooth and online tutorials quick and user friendly.

Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection was the logical choice for our organization since we were utilizing so many other Microsoft solutions. We have since realized the need for more advanced threat protections and primarily use SCEP as an additional level of protection. Our primary protection is being provided by Carbon Black because of it's advanced heuristics and behavioral analysis capabilities

Reve is not so smart tool and was not enough for us I protecting our system files and optimizing our virtual atmosphere. We have been in search of a complete tool which Reve was not. Another factor was its pricing. On the other hand, McAfee is a safe tool and is available at a highly reasonable price.

• The Windows 11 version of SCEP is significantly better than the Windows 10 and older iterations, and it has saved us from virus issues in the past.
• This is faster and less work to deploy to a pc when we build and deploy them.
• No extra admin and costs for AV licensing in our case, which makes renewal times easier on IT Management.

• It is not costly so it is not burdened so we got peace of mind with the usage of this into the system.
• We are using our machine without worry. It saved our money to take backup with multiple devices.
