It is a stable solution, but they should make the user interface easier to understand

The solution's initial setup takes work. We have to organize multiple paths and many features. The deployment process takes less than a week. But it takes a month to complete if we want to make the solution smarter by integrating it with various devices. I rate the process as a six out of ten.

Has improved threat detection workflows and supports seamless customer monitoring

The best features Trellix Network Detection and Response offers include very good threat detection, and I believe that it is one of the best XDR tools. For example, ePO and XDR components are very comfortable and similar to many other tools for this type of monitoring, and I have received very good feedback for this tool. What makes Trellix Network Detection and Response stand out for me compared to other tools is the way you can detect threats. It is very easy and comfortable to use, and the detection shows clearly on the screen, which is very easy to understand. Regarding the features, I think that the integration with other platforms is very comfortable with the customer because we can integrate it with any switch or firewall, and it is comfortable to add this tool. Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization as I have improved my knowledge about detection and response. I have already used some other tools such as CrowdStrike and Umbrella, but Trellix is one of the best that I have tested. I believe that for my organization, Trellix has helped a lot with detection and supported our customers effectively. Trellix Network Detection and Response is a great tool that integrates with a lot of security tools such as Palo Alto, which is a good firewall. If you have these types of tools, your organization would benefit greatly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."

"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."

"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."

"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."

"NetWitness Platform offers flexibility for deployment and robust integration capabilities."

"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."

"The most valuable feature is the correlation. It can report in real-time and monitor the management."

"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."

More NetWitness Platform pros

"Initially, we didn't have much visibility around what is occurring at our applications lower level. For instance, if we are exposed to any malicious attacks or SQL injections. But now we've integrated FireEye with Splunk, so now we get lots of triggers based on policy content associated with FireEye. The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."

"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."

"We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network. We can stop it before we have a bigger mess to clean up."

"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."

"It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic. We can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us."

"Support is very helpful and responsive."

"The installation phase was easy."

"Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response pros

Cons

"It is not so easy to customize this product."

"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."

"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."

"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."

"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."

"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."

"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."

"The implementation needs assistance."

More NetWitness Platform cons

"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."

"I would like to see in Trellix Network Detection and Response more explanation about some details of the threat, and I wish it had more actions that you can take to contain the host or move it somewhere else."

"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."

"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."

"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed. We would like FireEye to be more secure as an organization. FireEye has to be more protective because it is one of the most critical devices that we are using in our environment. They have a concept called SSL decryption, but that is only the packet address. We would like FireEye to also do a lot of decryption inside the packet. Currently, FireEye only does encryption and decryption of the header, but we would like them to do encryption and decryption of the entire packet."

"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."

"The solution's support needs to improve their support."

"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."

"Our license is for one year."

"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."

"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."

"Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."

"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."

"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."

"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."

More NetWitness Platform pricing and cost advice

"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."

"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."

"The pricing is a little high."

"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"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."

"It's an expensive solution."

"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."
