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

"Packet Solution: Allows analyst proactive hunting and alerting on daily sophisticated APTs."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"The detection of ransomware in the internal network has benefited my organization."
"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 most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"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."
"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."
"Since the solution has been under way we have seen a large decrease of threats and proactive reactions to incidents."
"The installation phase was easy."
"The initial setup was straightforward, you can do it by yourself, you don't have to find a partner or a FireEye expert."
"The solution can scale."
"FireEye has created an ecosystem of products integrated with their own SIEM, which is cloud-based and integrates with network security, email security, host security and the like."
"FireEye is so effective at blocking attacks that we were even able to defer an upgrade of our IPS solution, saving a significant amount of money."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"The server appliance is good."
"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."
 

Cons

"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"Security needs improvement."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"The solution is pretty complex to set up. Comparatively, I have worked on IBM QRadar and Splunk; they are much easier to set up."
"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."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The product is pricey. We'd like it to cost less. Not all customers can afford it."
"On a scale of one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best, I would you rate this product an 8. From a security perspective, it's pretty decent. It's just that I have seen it miss some semi loads or triggers when it's integrated with other products."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license is for one year."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"The product is expensive."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"It is cheap."
"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."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"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."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
"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."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
