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

"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."

"Overall, I feel that the product is very good and my biggest complaint is about their support."

"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."

"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."

"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."

"Overall, this is a good solution with suitable features and it very well fits our needs."

"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."

"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."

More NetWitness Platform pros

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the network security module."

"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."

"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."

"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."

"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised, FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."

"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."

"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

"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."

"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."

"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."

"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."

"I believe they could improve their support, there are often delays."

"Cross Platform Integration could be improved."

"Security needs improvement. We would still like to know how the traffic is entering the organization."

"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."

More NetWitness Platform cons

"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."

"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed."

"The support from FireEye Network Security is not very good."

"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."

"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there."

"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."

"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."

"It is an expensive solution."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a pricey solution; it's not 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."

"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."

"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."

"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."

"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."

"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."

"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."

More NetWitness Platform pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"It's an expensive solution."

"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."

"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."

"The pricing is a little high."

"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
