A solid SIEM solution that should improve technical support and online resources to be easier to use

A big problem with the product is that we don't have much professional experience in Israel installing, implementing, and integrating this product. There is not enough of a knowledge base. There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams. We like to work locally because of the language, and when the product is only supported outside the country, it's a little difficult to implement and use this product. Moreover, AI is something that must be added immediately. Artificial intelligence is a part of the competitors' products, and it's not been implemented for us.

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

"The detection of ransomware in the internal network has benefited my organization."

"The development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly, which means that the security analyst or the researcher does not have to learn another language."

"Once it is deployed and you are used to it, you can do whatever you want."

"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."

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

"Overall, it is easy to implement."

"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."

"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."

More NetWitness Platform pros

"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."

"The simplified Alert Dashboard is straightforward to navigate."

"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."

"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."

"FireEye has placed us in the position to proactively counter malicious threats; we now don’t have to take a user offline in order to rebuild their PC following an attack."

"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."

"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us."

"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response pros

Cons

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

"Security needs improvement."

"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."

"The solution is pretty complex to set up. Comparatively, I have worked on IBM QRadar and Splunk; they are much easier to set up."

"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."

"I cannot say that the solution was stable because it tended to crash."

"The initial setup is complex. It requires some knowledge in order to set it up."

"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."

More NetWitness Platform cons

"The Trellix solution could be improved by enhancing the Central Management Console for faster visibility, which would help in network detection response."

"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."

"Certain features in Trellix Network Detection and Response, such as using AL-type commands, may initially pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with such commands. However, once users become accustomed to the system, it becomes easier to use."

"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."

"It is not a very secure product."

"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."

"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."

"On a scale of one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best, I would you rate this product an 8. From a security perspective, it's pretty decent. It's just that I have seen it miss some semi loads or triggers when it's integrated with other products."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The product is expensive."

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

"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."

"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."

"It is cheap."

"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."

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

More NetWitness Platform pricing and cost advice

"It's an expensive solution."

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

"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."

"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."

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

"The pricing is a little high."

"The tool is a bit pricey."

"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
