It is a stable solution, but they should make the user interface easier to understand
The solution's initial setup takes work. We have to organize multiple paths and many features. The deployment process takes less than a week. But it takes a month to complete if we want to make the solution smarter by integrating it with various devices. I rate the process as a six out of ten.

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 feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"Setting up NetWitness is straightforward. There are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors. One purpose of the connectors is the enhanced capability integrate the custom applications. NetWitness comes with E6 appliances and application images that we use for the initial configurations and for the OS stack information. From there, you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports."
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
More NetWitness Platform pros
"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."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"Initially, we didn't have much visibility around what is occurring at our applications lower level. For instance, if we are exposed to any malicious attacks or SQL injections. But now we've integrated FireEye with Splunk, so now we get lots of triggers based on policy content associated with FireEye. The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."
More Trellix Network Detection and Response pros
 

Cons

"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"Security needs improvement."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
More NetWitness Platform cons
"The Trellix solution could be improved by enhancing the Central Management Console for faster visibility, which would help in network detection response."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."
"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."
"Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation. We are an official distributor and partner of FireEye, and we have access to complete documentation about how to configure or implement this technology, but for customers, very limited documentation is available openly. This is the area in which FireEye should evolve. All documents should be easily available for everyone."
"I would like to see in Trellix Network Detection and Response more explanation about some details of the threat, and I wish it had more actions that you can take to contain the host or move it somewhere else."
"Certain features in Trellix Network Detection and Response, such as using AL-type commands, may initially pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with such commands. However, once users become accustomed to the system, it becomes easier to use."
"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."
More Trellix Network Detection and Response cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"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)."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."
"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."
"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."
"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."
More NetWitness Platform pricing and cost advice
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is a little high."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
"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."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"It's an expensive solution."
"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."
