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

"Their customer service is excellent, one of the best."
"Once it is deployed and you are used to it, you can do whatever you want."
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"Thanks to this tool, we have a small SOC running in our company."
"Overall, I feel that the product is very good and my biggest complaint is about their support."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"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."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"For our customers, it added a layer of inspection that might be missed by traditional IPS or antivirus products, and that is the capability of catching new malware that might not have been identified or seen in the wild before."
"Both for our clients and for ourselves, ROI was almost 200% more than we expected."
"The installation phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email, using virtual machines to test the behavior of the files and determine whether they are malicious in nature, blocking any abnormal activity and recording the hash value to submit to the cloud and add to the blacklist."
"FireEye has placed us in the position to proactively counter malicious threats; we now don’t have to take a user offline in order to rebuild their PC following an attack."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic, as we can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us, giving us a better view of our network and our email environment."
 

Cons

"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets is far behind the competition."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"I cannot say that the solution was stable because it tended to crash."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"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."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box."
"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."
"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."
"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment. When it comes to the type of applications and functions which we were looking at in terms of identifying malicious threats, there would be some level of complexity, if we were doing it right."
"The product is pricey. We'd like it to cost less. Not all customers can afford it."
"The support is somewhat lacking with long response times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"The product is expensive."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"Our license is for one year."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"It's an expensive solution."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
"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 fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"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."
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
