Communication and organization improve support teams and works well with enterprises

Daniel_Martins - PeerSpot reviewer
Experiencing frequent disconnections and support challenges but benefits from quick implementation and integration capabilities
The timeout of the tenant is an area that needs improvement. When investigating and gathering information from the Helix tenant for extended periods, disconnections occur. This results in lost work and the need to restart investigations due to disconnected sessions. It is problematic when progress is lost and investigations must be restarted, resulting in lost information and significant time wastage. The capability to integrate with other TIPs or cybersecurity intelligence sources could be improved to determine whether IOCs are malicious, similar to Mandiant's functionality. The capacity to reduce false positives needs improvement as we receive many alerts from Helix that turn out to be false positives upon investigation. Enhanced capability in this area would make the system more efficient and easier to use. The dashboards could be improved as customers frequently request real-time SOC dashboard displays for Helix.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ServiceNow is a convenient platform to raise tickets, and the respective support team will contact us to resolve any issues."
"ServiceNow Security Operations also takes care of GRC, governance, risk and compliance, enabling it to provide risk assessment."
"The product has a very simple UI."
"Multiple projects use the ServiceNow tool because it is a low-cost and open-source tool."
"ServiceNow Security Operations provides significant control over vulnerabilities, allowing users to mark false alarms as false positives and ignore them, which is important because many vulnerabilities are not real but appear as such."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"It has helped optimize security costs by consolidating multiple tools into one platform."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"The best feature of Trellix Helix Connect is its quick implementation."
"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."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"I advise other customers to choose Trellix Helix, as it improves operations significantly with more efficient responses required for various scenarios they face."
"The product offers very strong automation. Our cyber security analysts don't have to correlate the information to detect problems. They only need to analyze problems that have been identified by the platform."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
"We are able to block some advanced malware and other things."
 

Cons

"It is challenging for the customers to understand the processes for SecOps. It needs to be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in terms of developer support and documentation."
"Report generation within ServiceNow can take some time. Additionally, there are occasional issues when raising a ticket, which can also consume time."
"The threat intelligence module needs a better dashboard."
"There are limitations for the third-parties that are providing the inputs. They should increase the robustness of the solution."
"We'd like customization to be easier in terms of the UI and using the dashboards."
"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."
"Customer awareness and understanding of ServiceNow's SecOps capabilities could be improved."
"We often rely on Martins to create logs and provide professional threat services rather than basic support."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."

"This product is a good value for the money."
"It is an expensive product."
"The product is more expensive than other solutions."
"Compared to competitor tools, ServiceNow Security Operations is more affordable"
"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 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."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
