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.

Integrated sensors have improved traffic inspection and now provide resilient east-west threat control
I believe Trellix Network Detection and Response can be improved by integrating machine learning into its detection response capabilities. Additionally, incorporating failover kits integrated into the sensors could be beneficial. It would be best if Trellix Network Detection and Response sensors were converted into a next-generation firewall with built-in capabilities for routing, switching, and Layer 7 functionality, as most next-generation firewalls today include these features. While Trellix Network Detection and Response sensors are highly capable, I think it would be advantageous to include features such as Layer 7 profiles, application profile filters, web filters, IDx, IP feature sets, signature detection features, and routing and switching capabilities all in one device. While the user interface of Trellix Network Detection and Response is very good, I suggest implementing a customizable dashboard. Additionally, there should be report generation for critical attacks and high alert severities, displayed graphically on the dashboard, and providing options to extract files in Excel format for better visibility.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I feel that the product is very good and my biggest complaint is about their support."
"In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"Their customer service is excellent, one of the best."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"Once it is deployed and you are used to it, you can do whatever you want."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"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."
"The server appliance is good."
"The scalability has not been a problem. We have deployed the product in very high bandwidth networks. We have never had a problem with the FireEye product causing latency issues within our networks."
"After all of our testing was conducted we felt confident that this was the right approach to safeguard the bank from advanced malware, zero-day and targeted attacks."
"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The simplified Alert Dashboard is straightforward to navigate."
"The installation phase was easy."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The negative aspect is support."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response is stable but occasionally encounters performance issues, which we can fix quickly."
"The support is somewhat lacking with long response times."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license is for one year."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
"The pricing is a little high."
"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."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
