Picus Security vs. Trellix Intelligent Sandbox

If you want to analyze the full path focusing on the signatures it’s the best product in the market. If you want to test phishing, data exfiltration/DLP, DNS I don’t recommend Picus. Scenario based attacks also lacking. However Picus support is awesome and I like the development team. When we open a case, they’ll always return with the right answer

McAfee Advanced Threat Defense is great in large enterprise environments with large, highly segmented networks. The administrator can create exceptions for specific applications as well as create exceptions through HAS which is very convenient for applications created in house. I do not recommend installing it on a computer with little ram memory, since this product demands a lot of resources and can be clearly distinguished in the Windows task monitor.

• It has thousands of signatures and up-to-date attack vectors (It's the largest set in the market)
• Attack vectors are mapped with existing vendors like Checkpoint and Mcafee, where you don't spend time finding out which cve mapped to which protection
• Ability to focus/highlght solely new threats, it's superb for 0days and up-to-date protections. As there are always timing issue between updates and apply the updates on the products.
• Blocked vs not blocked ratios on the dashboard with drill down menu specifiying the set of protections or signatures on the defensive measures
• Already mapped mitre att&ck framework on the dasboard. SOC and analyst team using the Mitre framework.

Personally, I have only called our internal IT team about needing changes to permissions, not McAfee itself, but our IT team can make the changes though it seems to take them longer than I would think it needs to take. As someone who administers a different program, with different permissions, I would feel they should be able to make the exceptions faster and easier.

We use other vendors Verodin, AttackIQ, SafeBreach, Cymulate etc. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages. Please take a look at TrustRadius reviews of each product. I don’t want to go head to head for each product in this
review. I select Picus because it's local startup company in our region. I like their support and engineering team. Support is marvelous. Product is giving what we expected from the product. Price is adequate. Reporting and dashboard is superb.

McAfee brand is used, mcafee antivirus scan, mcafee drive encryption, mcafee DLP, mcafee cloud proxy. He Kaspersky at the corporate level and used his admin dashboard is a bit rough. I recommend mcafee since the graphical environment is very friendly with the administrator. We selected it because at the administration level it is more comfortable, support for end users is very easy, the administration console can create roles and segregate permissions.
