KishoreKumar4 - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-cost and open-source tool for incident and change management
If we encounter challenges while deploying, we raise incidents. These incidents are categorized by priority: high, medium, and low. We assign an incident number and notify the relevant teams to address the issue. For instance, if we experience a problem with Cloud services or any other issue, we…

You can use it for everything, incident response, automated responses, alerts, visibility
I would give the product an overall rating of eight out of 10. We have 10 people currently using this software. Six are on the list, plus two managers and two IR experts. It's not possible for just one person to maintain the solution, and it's not really allowed. It has to be a team effort, with two or three people. It's not about users. Helix works differently, collecting logs from 6,000 different sources integrated with the solution. The licensing is not based on users; it's based on APIs. It's more of a SIEM SGL type of platform. It collects logs from around 6,000. But have around 10 people maintaining that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Multiple projects use the ServiceNow tool because it is a low-cost and open-source tool."
"My favorite feature is the application vulnerability scanner."
"It has helped optimize security costs by consolidating multiple tools into one platform."
"The ease of use is great."
"We refer to the setup and installation guide provided by ServiceNow. They have good documentation, which makes it easier to handle the process."
"It gives you the ability to bring data into the system. The workflows are out of the box, and it gives you the ability to auto-assign the incidents based on criteria and vulnerabilities."
"What I found most valuable in ServiceNow Security Operations is that it's very useful for any incoming vulnerability. For example, if my team finds any vulnerability on servers such as the CA and CMDB integrated with ServiceNow Security Operations, my team can make some changes. My team can map the vulnerabilities found on the CA server, make the changes required, and resolve the vulnerabilities before the system is attacked. You can avoid vulnerability attacks through ServiceNow Security Operations, so this is the best feature of the solution. ServiceNow Security Operations is beneficial mainly for vulnerability response and engagement purposes."
"Reduces time to closure and closure metrics for vulnerabilities."
"We are able to block some advanced malware and other things."
"We have started working with various customers, one of whom is particularly concerned about adjacency. We have identified several use cases where automation is possible."
"I advise other customers to choose Trellix Helix, as it improves operations significantly with more efficient responses required for various scenarios they face."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"As far as its core functionality goes, it’s spot-on."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"I like that it's easy. It's got the protection set up, and we can see whatever is required. We write our own rules and the rules that we can input. I think it is good."
"The integration is very useful and very easy. You can have an API connection with any cloud and I'll be able to do both ways of communication with the help of APA."
 

Cons

"Customer awareness and understanding of ServiceNow's SecOps capabilities could be improved."
"We'd like customization to be easier in terms of the UI and using the dashboards."
"They should stick to the roadmap and continue to build plugins and integrations with other third parties, enhance the UI, and enhance the reporting. It's all good. They should just continue enhancing the releases."
"In future releases, I would like to add a follow-up and reminder feature. For the tickets in our queue, we could set reminders. This would help us prioritize older tickets before moving on to new ones."
"The threat intelligence module needs a better dashboard."
"Report generation within ServiceNow can take some time."
"The solution needs to make customization easier. You cannot do much customization immediately. It requires an extensive workload. If the customization process was user-friendly, it would be much better."
"It's very slow. When you click a button or update a field, it takes forever to actually react."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"The graphical user interface could be improved. It's not easy to handle and it's not easy for a customer or end-user to learn how to manage the solution."
"While we have top customer support and this solution is highly beneficial, there is room for improvement due to the fusion of McAfee and FireEye, which has caused some lapses in support."
"We often rely on Martins to create logs and provide professional threat services rather than basic support."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"Sometimes the rules are disabled by FireEye, and we basically get it after the patch. I think there needs to be a better way of creating the application rules. I would like to see better pricing for our licensing."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you're going to implement it on your own, there would be internal costs. If you're going to implement it through a contractor or consultant, you have to pay for that."
"The solution is more expensive than BMC Remedy, the other ITSM tool available in the market."
"Compared to competitor tools, ServiceNow Security Operations is more affordable"
"It is an expensive product."
"The product is more expensive than other solutions."
"This product is a good value for the money."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"The price could be better. But I think it's rightly placed when we buy everything in one shot, and we get some discount for that. That's how we basically plan our deployment, and it's holistic. We pay for the license yearly."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
