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

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"Prior to implementing the solution, the customers had no visibility of their assets, however, after adopting the solution, they have gained complete visibility over all their assets, including a comprehensive understanding of the network and attack symptoms."
"Stability has not been an issue with this product."
"Thanks to this tool, we have a small SOC running in our company."
"The detection of ransomware in the internal network has benefited my organization."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"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."
"RSA NetWitness is a SIEM and real-time network traffic solution that collects logs and packets, applies a set of alerting, reporting, and analysis rules on them, and thus provides the enterprise with full visibility of the networks and activities of the systems."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response helps increase response to attacks. One benefit is increased visibility and simplicity in maintaining it. AI analyzes and relates data based on past performance over the last five days."
"If we are receiving spam emails, or other types of malicious email coming from a particular email ID, then we are able to block them using this solution."
"It has provided us with better malware, intrusion and incident detection."
"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."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate, saving time, trouble, and money."
"It is stable and quite protective, and it has a lot of features to scan many malicious things and vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to 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."
"I am not happy with the RSA support. Sometimes they can be really annoying because it takes so long to get the support that you need."
"The initial setup was complex because it took a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"One thing to be improved in NetWitness is the capability to correlate event logs in a general sense."
"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."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"Technical support 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."
"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."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"Our license is for one year."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"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 tool is a bit pricey."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"It's an expensive solution."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
