What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time.
FireEye allows three releases per day which are automated. If the automation fails for some reason, the release fails. FireEye does not allow manual releases. This is why we are moving away from using this solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This is a scalable solution.

Easy to use, stable, and not heavy on system resources
Pros and Cons
- "FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
- "Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."
What is our primary use case?
We are using this solution for endpoint security against cyber attacks.
What is most valuable?
FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others.
What needs improvement?
Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using FireEye Endpoint Security for a couple of months.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This solution is scalable. However, it could improve to be able to be handle large-scale operations. The OS most systems are running I am not sure it can handle a lot of nodes but many companies are coming out with cloud options that should be able to manage much more nodes.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support can take some time to respond on the first level. They could improve the speed at which they resolve and handle support.
What about the implementation team?
We have an administrator and engineer that does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have evaluated Carbon Black and FortiEDR.
What other advice do I have?
I would not recommend this solution to others. However, if you have a small budget then this solution could be a second option.
I rate FireEye Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Comes with useful protection features, but lacks Linux support
Pros and Cons
- "The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
- "The Linux support is very poor. I use base detection. Currently, they are providing malware protection and logon track features in Windows and Mac. These features aren't available in Linux. It will be helpful to extend these capabilities to Linux. We would also like assets grouping and device lock protection features, which are included in their roadmap."
What is our primary use case?
We want more protection for our servers. We would like to know if a real incident or something compromising is happening. Therefore, we have deployed this EDR solution.
What is most valuable?
The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful.
They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features.
What needs improvement?
The Linux support is very poor. I use base detection. Currently, they are providing malware protection and logon track features in Windows and Mac. These features aren't available in Linux. It will be helpful to extend these capabilities to Linux.
We would also like assets grouping and device lock protection features, which are included in their roadmap.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using FireEye Endpoint Security for the past two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The current version is more stable than the previous ones.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is easily scalable.
How are customer service and technical support?
My experience was 50/50. Sometimes, it was good. Sometimes, they took some time.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using McAfee AV. We switched to FireEye Endpoint Security because we had some performance issues with McAfee AV. We are not facing those issues with FireEye Endpoint Security.
How was the initial setup?
It is easy to deploy. It took us a month to deploy.
Deployment may take more time based on the architecture and the environment. With some vendors, it took us some time to analyze because there were things that we wanted to monitor, which depended on the production. Therefore, we installed it step by step, not in one step at full force.
What other advice do I have?
If you are deploying on Windows or Mac, there will be minimal issues, and you can go for this solution. With Linux, you need to understand a few features. What you expect from Windows and Mac is not available in Linux. If your main technologies are open source, then probably rethink about FireEye Endpoint Security. You can go for FireEye Endpoint Security after they have the same capabilities in Linux. Most of the features are there in their roadmap.
We mostly faced issues with Linux support. In the past, we also had issues related to communication between an agent and an endpoint where they didn't communicate, the communication got stopped automatically, or the data communication time didn't sync properly. In the later versions, they improved and resolved these issues.
I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. It's gradually growing, and a few features that we require are not there. If these requirements are satisfied, I would rate them nine or ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Information Security Manager at SPXFLOW
All the features of HX give the administrator control over the managed devices
What is our primary use case?
We moved on to FireEye HX as an endpoint solution. Mainly, this is the next-generation endpoint protection where it protects the endpoints not just from the office network but also from roaming. Its capability seeing today's threat actors is the best one.
How has it helped my organization?
This gives us a more secure and completely scalable zero-day model security product to the endpoint. We manage not only the software but also the next-gen AV.
What is most valuable?
All the features of HX give the administrator control over the managed devices:
- Managing is easy
- The different threat actor based signature
- Behavioural analysis
- Malware protection
- Zero-day protection
IOC based detections are really the best ones. However, the enterprise search option is a hunting option given to the admin.
What needs improvement?
- AV management based on manual scan
- Manual scan feature is not easily done
- A long way of setting hostname set, and
- Scheduling over policy which is time taking and I don't feel comfortable.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Excellent.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Performance wise, it's good. The agent does not consume much process or CPU.
How is customer service and technical support?
Great support, a well technology-minded guy with a proactive and ready-to-resolve easy attitude.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment was easy.
What about the implementation team?
In-house, and sometimes getting help from the product vendor.
What was our ROI?
Though it's expensive, it gives the security required to be trusted with the product.

Efficient background scanning but performance could be improved
Pros and Cons
- "The setup is not that complex. It takes five to ten minutes to set up."
- "The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
What is our primary use case?
We just run it in the background and potentially scan any wireless or malicious file. It must be the same setup.
What needs improvement?
Maybe the performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit when I start it up in the morning.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have had this solution for over three years now. It's enterprise security. We use the latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's stable. It's just that I don't have to use it very often. I can go weeks without having to deal with any issues. If something does pop up, it's usually pretty easy to fix. I just let the people who know what they're doing handle it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's scalable enough for our needs. I don't see any problems right now. There are about 55 users in two branches of our company.
How are customer service and support?
We haven't needed to use tech support. We are an IT company, so we usually take care of our own devices.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is not that complex. It takes five to ten minutes to set up. It's mostly this is our old devices.
What about the implementation team?
It's a self-deployable solution, so we don't need any technical staff for deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We do need to pay for a license.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a six out of ten.
