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.

Threat detection has improved for zero‑day attacks but alert noise and support still need work
There are many ways Trellix Network Detection and Response can be improved. Trellix Network Detection and Response needs to reduce the alert noise because even after a lot of filtering, there is still a lot of noise which needs to be tuned by the industry vertical. Trellix Network Detection and Response needs to deepen the cloud-native support with parity between on-premises and cloud deployments. Trellix Network Detection and Response needs to improve threat intelligence depth as Trellix Network Detection and Response is not known to have the best signatures or the AI-supported intelligence that competitors may have. Trellix Network Detection and Response also needs revamped documentation because we had a lot of issues trying to find the syntaxes for all the rule-making. We had to search a lot and Trellix Network Detection and Response does not really help with their documentation, as it only covers basic information. The customer service is not that good. Trellix Network Detection and Response needs accelerated customer support to reach out to the top-level heads. Most of the time we are just stuck at the ground level talking to their customer support team, and they are not able to help us because we usually need to connect with the engineering team to help us out with the specifics.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Performance and reporting are very good."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"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 solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."
"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 fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"I would definitely recommend this product because I have seen many cases where other solutions were not able to catch malware, but FireEye raised a red flag."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The initial setup was straightforward, you can do it by yourself, you don't have to find a partner or a FireEye expert."
"Anyone who is looking for a complete network protection solution and does not have any budget issues should definitely go for it."
"It has provided us with better malware, intrusion and incident detection."
 

Cons

"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"The product continues to crash. Even with tech support help, it does not resolve itself."
"Its technical support could be better."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"I believe they could improve their support, there are often delays."
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"But the 11.3 version is a complete disaster. You cannot analyze anything."
"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."
"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment."
"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"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 tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."
"Our license is for one year."
"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 pricing is a little high."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
