Useful for automation and reporting and has open API for seamless integration
It was easy to integrate the tool with our infrastructure because all the APIs are pre-built. We just created a drag-and-drop prompt to integrate the solution with our infrastructure. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. Everyone needs to evaluate this solution according to their organization's needs because it can integrate well, but this depends on the technology you already have in your organization. It is an automation tool for detection and response, and while integration is possible, using legacy products could create issues. Some legacy products are closed systems and do not expose their APIs to other vendors. In such cases, you could run into problems. If you are considering this solution, check which APIs are available before you proceed. Otherwise, you may get the solution, but you must spend time on integrations. They provide integration support, but it's not automatic; it will take time.

Alarm correlation has improved incident investigations and streamlines multi-vendor security operations
There is room for improvement for Trellix Helix Connect; I see some direction that they still could improve. The most problematic part was the integration part because in their catalog, they have so many third-party vendors, but some of them were not fully supported, so we requested some development and feature requests. Sometimes we saw that some documentation was not enough to integrate the third-party vendor's product. However, they improved their documentation, so it was a good experience. Everyone expected that we could use an XDR solution as on-premises; they could make some improvement on this point, which is a priority for some institutions. I am not sure what additional functionalities I would like to see in the future for Trellix Helix Connect; they could add some AI features, basically machine learning capabilities, and also improvements in the chatbot feature, but it was at the first stage an average.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an out-of-the-box automated integration with our 20 departments. We perform L1 LiveOps automatically through the portal."
"The solution's valuable feature is its GUI. It has more than 450 connectors, which are excellent for connecting devices and automating integration. The solution has all the features we need. We deployed it in our environment, and it's fully integrated. Thanks to their open APIs, the seamless integration makes everything work well together."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
"In general, I can say that Trellix Helix Connect impacted my organization positively."
"I advise other customers to choose Trellix Helix, as it improves operations significantly with more efficient responses required for various scenarios they face."
"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."
"I like that it's easy, it's got the protection set up, and we can see whatever is required."
"It is kind of simple and very easily deployable, and you can start working with it very fast."
"The features that I find most valuable in Trellix Helix Connect are the incident response capabilities, which include EDR and XDR, along with the SoC capabilities added in the new advanced Trellix AI intelligence."
"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."
 

Cons

"Reporting needs improvement. MTTR and MTTD metrics aren't directly available in playbooks and require manual effort to achieve."
"The reporting, especially custom reporting, needs to be improved. Additionally, it would be better if it could be hosted on Linux."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"The support would rate a three out of ten. It can take one to four weeks to connect with someone who truly understands Helix and can provide solutions."
"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."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
"Sometimes the rules are disabled by FireEye, and we basically get it after the patch."
"We often rely on Martins to create logs and provide professional threat services rather than basic support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"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."
