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

"Technical support is very good; they try to resolve issues with the proper SLAs which are defined by them and they understand the client's requirements as well as the client's infrastructure in a better manner."
"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."
"Setting up NetWitness is straightforward; there are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors, with enhanced capability to integrate custom applications, and from there you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports."
"Since the solution has been under way we have seen a large decrease of threats and proactive reactions to incidents."
"In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us."
"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our meantime in being able to identify and detect malicious threats."
"There are sandbox capabilities; you can submit malicious files and get great feedback, including if there is malware and what it is doing, and it can give you simulations in different operating systems and applications to provide real insights from the perspective of a real environment."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"I would definitely recommend this product because I have seen many cases where other solutions were not able to catch malware, but FireEye raised a red flag."
"I also like its logging method. Its logging is very powerful and useful for forensic purposes. You can see the traffic or a specific activity or how something entered your network and where it went."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"The initial setup is complex. It requires some knowledge in order to set it up."
"The solution is pretty complex to set up. Comparatively, I have worked on IBM QRadar and Splunk; they are much easier to set up."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there."
"The solution's support needs to improve their support."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."

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