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

"Offers a good wireless feature."

"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."

"Overall, this is a good solution with suitable features and it very well fits our needs."

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

"Over time, NetWitness Logs and Packets has matured from a boxed solution with multiple parts to the current, more streamlined version for which we only need the software license to put it up on our own cloud and deliver it to multiple clients."

"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."

"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."

More NetWitness Platform pros

"The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."

"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."

"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."

"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."

"The most valuable feature is the network security module."

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

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

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

More Trellix Network Detection and Response pros

Cons

"The implementation needs assistance."

"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."

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

"We encountered stability issues in the earlier versions, and much fewer in the newer versions."

"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets is far behind the competition."

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

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

"Security needs improvement. We would still like to know how the traffic is entering the organization."

More NetWitness Platform cons

"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed."

"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."

"FireEye’s main feature is its sandboxing or threat emulation capabilities to detect malware with extra add-ons such as signature-based IPS or endpoint protection, but these features are lacking compared to most IPS or endpoint vendors."

"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."

"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."

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

"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."

"Based on what we deployed, they should emphasize the application filtering and the web center. We need to look deeper into the SSM inspection. If we get the full solution with that module, we don't need to get the SSM database from another supplier."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It is cheap."

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

"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."

"The product is expensive."

"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."

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

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

More NetWitness Platform pricing and cost advice

"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."

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

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."

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

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

"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."
