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.

Integrated sensors have improved traffic inspection and now provide resilient east-west threat control
I believe Trellix Network Detection and Response can be improved by integrating machine learning into its detection response capabilities. Additionally, incorporating failover kits integrated into the sensors could be beneficial. It would be best if Trellix Network Detection and Response sensors were converted into a next-generation firewall with built-in capabilities for routing, switching, and Layer 7 functionality, as most next-generation firewalls today include these features. While Trellix Network Detection and Response sensors are highly capable, I think it would be advantageous to include features such as Layer 7 profiles, application profile filters, web filters, IDx, IP feature sets, signature detection features, and routing and switching capabilities all in one device. While the user interface of Trellix Network Detection and Response is very good, I suggest implementing a customizable dashboard. Additionally, there should be report generation for critical attacks and high alert severities, displayed graphically on the dashboard, and providing options to extract files in Excel format for better visibility.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Since the solution has been under way we have seen a large decrease of threats and proactive reactions to incidents."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"Thanks to this tool, we have a small SOC running in our company."
"NetWitness Platform offers flexibility for deployment and robust integration capabilities."
"Once it is deployed and you are used to it, you can do whatever you want."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation, as it can report in real-time and monitor the management."
"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."

"It has provided us with better malware, intrusion and incident detection."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"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."
"The scalability has not been a problem. We have deployed the product in very high bandwidth networks. We have never had a problem with the FireEye product causing latency issues within our networks."
"The solution can scale."
 

Cons

"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."

"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"Security needs improvement."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."
"The support from FireEye Network Security is not very good."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"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."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"The pricing is a little high."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
