Albert-Wang - PeerSpot reviewer
Dynamic file analysis enhances threat detection capabilities
Cloud sandbox allows customers to analyze email and text documents without purchasing any hardware. The system analyzes files dynamically and provides feedback on the impact of the file. Cloud sandbox manages the analysis using Hillstone on the cloud, offering a service to detect unknown threats. It's easy to integrate and offers dynamic analysis supporting many types of files.

BiswabhanuPanda - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers in-depth investigation capabilities, integrates well and smoothly transitioned from a lower-capacity appliance to a higher one
The in-depth investigation capabilities are a major advantage. When the system flags something as malicious, it provides a packet capture of that activity within the environment. That helps my team quickly identify additional context that most other tools wouldn't offer – like source IP or base64 encoded data. We can also see DNS requests and other details that aren't readily available in solutions like Check Point or others that we've tried. The detection itself is solid, and their sandboxing is powerful. There's a learning curve – you need a strong grasp of OS-level changes, process forking, registry changes, and the potential impact of those. But with that knowledge, the level of information Trellix provides is far greater than what we've seen elsewhere. The real-time response capability of Trellix has been quite effective, although it's not very fast. The key is this solution's concept of 'preference zero.' They don't immediately act on a zero-day. For example, the solution has seen a piece of malware for the first time. It'll let it in, then do sandboxing. Maybe after four or five minutes, it identifies that specific file's DNX Secure Store as malicious. At that point, they update the static analysis engine, and it gets detected if anything else tries to download the same file. There is that initial 'preference zero' concept, like with Panda. You may not hold traffic in the network. That's standard in the industry; we don't do much about it. To address that, we also have endpoint solutions. We use SentinelOne in our environment, which helps us identify threats like Western Bureaus and others.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Cloud sandbox allows customers to analyze email and text documents without purchasing any hardware."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"I also like its logging method. Its logging is very powerful and useful for forensic purposes. You can see the traffic or a specific activity or how something entered your network and where it went."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how it allows users to do the investigation part. Another important part of the product that is valuable is associated with how it gives information to users in the form of a storyline."
"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."
"It protects from signature-based attacks and signature-less attacks. The sandboxing technology, invented by FireEye, is very valuable. Our customers go for FireEye because of the sandboxing feature. When there is a threat or any malicious activity with a signature, it can be blocked by IPS. However, attacks that do not have any signatures and are very new can only be blocked by using the sandboxing feature, which is available only in FireEye. So, FireEye has both engines. It has an IPS engine and a sandbox engine, which is the best part. You can get complete network protection by using FireEye."

Cons

"For implementation, if the system can improve or provide more training, it would be better."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."
"Technical support could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is a little high."
"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our mean time in being able to identify and detect malicious threats. The company that I work with is a very mature organization, and we have seen the meantime to analysis decrease by at least tenfold."
"There are some additional services that I understand the vendor provides, but our approach was to package all of the features that we were looking to use into the product."
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
