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

"This solution has a very good dashboard with a separate tab for incidents and alerts."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."
"Thanks to this tool, we have a small SOC running in our company."
"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats."
"Once we had a chance to do our own due diligence, it was clear that there is really nothing else that compares with the FireEye appliance."
"It has provided us with better malware, intrusion and incident detection."
"The server appliance is good."
"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."
"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."
 

Cons

"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"The product continues to crash. Even with tech support help, it does not resolve itself."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"It is not a very secure product."
"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."
"Customer service and technical support could use some enhancement. On a scale from 1 to 10, it is between six and seven."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"The pricing is not reasonable. The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"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."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"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."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"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."
"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."
