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

"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."

"Offers a good wireless feature."

"Incident management is its most valuable feature."

"Setting up NetWitness is straightforward. There are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors. One purpose of the connectors is the enhanced capability integrate the custom applications. NetWitness comes with E6 appliances and application images that we use for the initial configurations and for the OS stack information. From there, you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports."

"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."

"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."

"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."

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

More NetWitness Platform pros

"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."

"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."

"The solution can scale."

"Support is very helpful and responsive."

"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."

"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."

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

"The installation phase was easy."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response pros

Cons

"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."

"Technical support could be improved."

"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."

"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."

"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."

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

"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."

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

More NetWitness Platform cons

"There is a lot of room for Improvement in the offering, from cost to functionality. It is pretty straightforward to implement which is an advantage. However, it falls short in pricing, detection capabilities, and, most importantly, reporting and policy management."

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

"It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives."

"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."

"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."

"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 very expensive, the price could be better."

"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."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."

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

"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."

"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."

"Our license is for one year."

"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."

"It is cheap."

More NetWitness Platform pricing and cost advice

"It's an expensive solution."

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

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

"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 a little high."

"The tool is a bit pricey."

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."

"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
