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

"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."
"Since the solution has been under way we have seen a large decrease of threats and proactive reactions to incidents."
"Integration is exceedingly minimal, since its project development is much easier than that of LogRythm or IBM."
"Thanks to this tool, we have a small SOC running in our company."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"Overall, I feel that the product is very good and my biggest complaint is about their support."
"Overall, it is easy to implement."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"After all of our testing was conducted we felt confident that this was the right approach to safeguard the bank from advanced malware, zero-day and targeted attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our meantime in being able to identify and detect malicious threats."
"It is stable and quite protective, and it has a lot of features to scan many malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"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 product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate, saving time, trouble, and money."
"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 simplified Alert Dashboard is straightforward to navigate."
 

Cons

"The implementation needs assistance."
"One thing to be improved in NetWitness is the capability to correlate event logs in a general sense."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"We encountered stability issues in the earlier versions, and much fewer in the newer versions."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"I cannot say that the solution was stable because it tended to crash."
"I believe they could improve their support, there are often delays."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"The support is somewhat lacking with long response times."
"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."
"Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation."
"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."
"Improvement-wise, the initial setup, fine-tuning, and learning can take effort."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"Our license is for one year."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"The pricing is a little high."
