Easy to set up and use with a nice interface

We primarily use the solution for threat protection. It was for a government project. It involves using a VPN and firewall. It's easy to use. The interface is very good. It was easy to set up initially. The sandboxing is good. It offers a very useful Excel protocol that isn't available…

Offers in-depth investigation capabilities, integrates well and smoothly transitioned from a lower-capacity appliance to a higher one

The in-depth investigation capabilities are a major advantage. When the system flags something as malicious, it provides a packet capture of that activity within the environment. That helps my team quickly identify additional context that most other tools wouldn't offer – like source IP or base64 encoded data. We can also see DNS requests and other details that aren't readily available in solutions like Check Point or others that we've tried. The detection itself is solid, and their sandboxing is powerful. There's a learning curve – you need a strong grasp of OS-level changes, process forking, registry changes, and the potential impact of those. But with that knowledge, the level of information Trellix provides is far greater than what we've seen elsewhere. The real-time response capability of Trellix has been quite effective, although it's not very fast. The key is this solution's concept of 'preference zero.' They don't immediately act on a zero-day. For example, the solution has seen a piece of malware for the first time. It'll let it in, then do sandboxing. Maybe after four or five minutes, it identifies that specific file's DNX Secure Store as malicious. At that point, they update the static analysis engine, and it gets detected if anything else tries to download the same file. There is that initial 'preference zero' concept, like with Panda. You may not hold traffic in the network. That's standard in the industry; we don't do much about it. To address that, we also have endpoint solutions. We use SentinelOne in our environment, which helps us identify threats like Western Bureaus and others.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."

"It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."

"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."

"Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server."

"It is very scalable."

"It is stable and reliable."

"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."

"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."

"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."

"The most valuable feature is the network security module."

"Trellix Network Detection and Response helps increase response to attacks. One benefit is increased visibility and simplicity in maintaining it. AI analyzes and relates data based on past performance over the last five days."

"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 scalability has not been a problem. We have deployed the product in very high bandwidth networks. We have never had a problem with the FireEye product causing latency issues within our networks."

"The installation phase was easy."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how it allows users to do the investigation part. Another important part of the product that is valuable is associated with how it gives information to users in the form of a storyline."

Cons

"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."

"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."

"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client."

"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."

"Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version."

"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."

"This solution needs to be made "cloud ready"."

"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Certain features in Trellix Network Detection and Response, such as using AL-type commands, may initially pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with such commands. However, once users become accustomed to the system, it becomes easier to use."

"Technical support could be improved."

"If you want to search the hashes in the environment, you need to put in IOCs one by one, making it a very hectic job."

"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."

"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."

"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive, but it is better than the rest of them in the industry."

"Our licensing fees for this solution are approximately one million dollars per year."

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

"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 a little high."

"It's an expensive solution."

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."

"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."

"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
