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 solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident 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."
"Technically speaking, this is a good product."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"Overall, it is easy to implement."
More NetWitness Platform pros
"Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"It has provided us with better malware, intrusion and incident detection."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"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 most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"The POC quickly revealed areas for improvement and potential threats that the traditional defenses had utterly missed."
More Trellix Network Detection and Response pros
 

Cons

"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions. Whenever any hacking activity or any other threat factor occurred they used to provide the coverages very fast when comparing RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets. I heard the other three solutions, from a discussion with my team members who had experience in other solutions, they used to say that. Whenever any issues happened across the globe RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are a little bit slow improving those detection mechanisms."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"The initial setup is complex. It requires some knowledge in order to set it up."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"I believe they could improve their support, there are often delays."
More NetWitness Platform cons
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"The pricing is not reasonable. The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"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."
"Cluster option is not available in NX, and for false positives we need some customization configuration available, such as a whitelist."
"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"The one thing that needs to improve is that they use guidance or FDK for max data."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there."
More Trellix Network Detection and Response cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"It is cheap."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"The product is expensive."
More NetWitness Platform pricing and cost advice
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"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."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"The pricing is a little high."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"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 user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
