Helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks
We use Trellix Helix for protection against network attacks, TLS, and SSL attacks. We also use the solution for user behaviour accesses Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks. Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify…

An easy-to-deploy tool that needs to improve its vulnerability scanning feature
To those who plan to use the solution, I would suggest that they go through the documentation and online training models available for free, as it can help you deploy the product quickly while also being helpful in areas where there is a need to understand correlation and monitoring. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
"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."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"As far as its core functionality goes, it’s spot-on."
"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."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"Vulnerability scanning helped out shortcomings of what was not patched in the past and what needed to be patched. This assisted with fine tuning the environment for compliance."
"The best feature of this product is the ease of use. It is extremely easy to set up and get going. This is a very useful tool for a small organization."
"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."
"Asset discovery seems to be good."
"The asset discovery and inventory capabilities in USM Anywhere is quite good."
"Asset discovery and vulnerability scanner are good features. The integration between this solution and OTX, which is an AlienVault platform for Open Threat Exchange, is also a valuable feature. It is also quick and easy to deploy, so you can quickly engage with a customer's environment."
"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."
"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."
 

Cons

"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"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."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
"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."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
"Search performance can be slow. The Raw Logs feature is painfully slow. And if we're talking about the newer, the Anywhere product, you can't even schedule reports on the thing. There are probably a dozen other features I'd really like to see there, but that would be one of the biggies."
"AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard."
"In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly."
"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
"Their threat intelligence platform needs to be broadened. They should integrate it with more threat intelligence platforms. For the threat feed that they get from open intelligence, I would like them to add a few premium threat intelligence platforms. They can provide a bundle in which AlienVault has the threat intelligence background of other premium products."
"The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement."
"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
"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's saved security costs."
"QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."
"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."
"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."
"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
