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 features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."

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

"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."

"Offers a good wireless feature."

"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."

"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."

"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."

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."

"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."

"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."

"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."

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

"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how it allows users to do the investigation part. Another important part of the product that is valuable is associated with how it gives information to users in the form of a storyline."

Cons

"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."

"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."

"Security needs improvement."

"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."

"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."

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

"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."

More NetWitness Platform cons

"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed. We would like FireEye to be more secure as an organization. FireEye has to be more protective because it is one of the most critical devices that we are using in our environment. They have a concept called SSL decryption, but that is only the packet address. We would like FireEye to also do a lot of decryption inside the packet. Currently, FireEye only does encryption and decryption of the header, but we would like them to do encryption and decryption of the entire packet."

"They can maybe consider supporting some compliance standards. When we are configuring rules and policies, it can guide whether they are compliant with a particular compliance authority. In addition, if I have configured some rules that have not been used, it should give a report saying that these rules have not been used in the last three months or six months so that I disable or delete those rules."

"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."

"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 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."

"The Trellix solution could be improved by enhancing the Central Management Console for faster visibility, which would help in network detection response."

"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."

"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."

"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."

"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."

"It is cheap."

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

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

"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."

More NetWitness Platform pricing and cost advice

"The tool is a bit pricey."

"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."

"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."

"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."

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

"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."

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