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

"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."
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"Prior to implementing the solution, the customers had no visibility of their assets, however, after adopting the solution, they have gained complete visibility over all their assets, including a comprehensive understanding of the network and attack symptoms."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"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."
"Technical support is very good; they try to resolve issues with the proper SLAs which are defined by them and they understand the client's requirements as well as the client's infrastructure in a better manner."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"Overall, I feel that the product is very good and my biggest complaint is about their support."
"It is stable and quite protective, and it has a lot of features to scan many malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."
"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."
"There are sandbox capabilities; you can submit malicious files and get great feedback, including if there is malware and what it is doing, and it can give you simulations in different operating systems and applications to provide real insights from the perspective of a real environment."
"The feature that I find most valuable is the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"It is a good product to implement, especially where the existing technology fails to detect zero day attacks."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the time to detect as we also were experimenting with the automation systems."
 

Cons

"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"Cross Platform Integration could be improved."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"It is not a very secure product."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"Stability is fine as long as we don't go deeper into the system. Once we go deeper into the SSM, inspection, and decryption, we get some issues."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"If you want to search the hashes in the environment, you need to put in IOCs one by one, making it a very hectic job."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is cheap."
"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."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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 user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is a little high."
"It's an expensive solution."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
