Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.1
Digital Guardian customer support efficiency varies; users praise global help but note inconsistency in response time and technical understanding.
Sentiment score
7.5
Trellix Network Detection and Response support is praised for knowledgeable service, though response times need improvement during severe incidents.
For vendor support, such as Fortra support, I would rate it a seven because all the support comes from different parts that sometimes have challenges meeting time zones, and sometimes they reroute to distributors and rely on partners.
Cyber Security Researcher at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
The support team was responsive and knowledgeable.
Business development executive at Digitaltrack solution Pvt Ltd

Trellix Network Detection and Response has handled that growth while continuing to provide consistency, visibility, threat detection, and investigation capabilities.
Business development executive at Digitaltrack solution Pvt Ltd

Room For Improvement

Digital Guardian needs to enhance partner programs, policy simplicity, cross-platform features, resource efficiency, cloud integration, and technical support.
Trellix needs improved customization, integration, and usability in its detection, reporting, and policy management for enhanced user experience.
The issue is that it works only with users or companies with more than 500 users.
Cyber Security Researcher at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Digital Guardian can generate false positives initially, which can be significantly reduced through proper policy tuning and data classification.
Sr.Technical Support Executive at Digitaltrack Solution Private Limited
There should be improvements in AI intelligence, faster decision-making, and a more responsive technical support team.
Information Security Engineer at Nhq Distribution Ltd
It would be best if Trellix Network Detection and Response sensors were converted into a next-generation firewall with built-in capabilities for routing, switching, and Layer 7 functionality, as most next-generation firewalls today include these features.
Network & Security Lead at Net-International
Regarding needed improvements for Trellix Network Detection and Response, there is always room for enhancement in terms of AI capability to include proactive triggers based on historical data, enabling AI to learn patterns and detect threats before they manifest.
Presales Manager
 

Setup Cost

Digital Guardian is costly but ideal for enterprises needing strong data loss prevention, especially in manufacturing.
Trellix's pricing is considered competitive but expensive, with straightforward licensing and efficient setup, potentially deterring smaller businesses.
Trellix Network Detection and Response is an enterprise-grade security solution, so it represents a significant investment, but we believe that the value it provides in terms of threat detection, network visibility, and incident response justifies the cost.
Business development executive at Digitaltrack solution Pvt Ltd
The pricing model is not transparent, as they do not provide pricing ranges upfront, complicating the evaluation of costs across regions.
CyberSecurity Architect at a comms service provider with 51-200 employees
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Trellix Network Detection and Response is that they are very good and affordable for the customer range.
Network & Security Lead at Net-International
 

Valuable Features

Digital Guardian provides advanced DLP, forensic analysis, and adaptive inspection, offering comprehensive security and regulatory compliance.
Trellix Network Detection and Response enhances security with real-time detection, automation, and integration, reducing manual monitoring by 50%.
The strong impact of Digital Guardian on my organization is in preventing sensitive data leaks to USB, email, and cloud, and in blocking unauthorized access in real time.
Sr.Technical Support Executive at Digitaltrack Solution Private Limited
Digital Guardian can easily integrate with this data classification solution and has a very granular level of configuration and policy tuning.
Cyber Security Researcher at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Per day we used to have 70 to 80 alerts and those could be reduced up to 40 to 30 a day. This is almost a 40 to 50% decrease.
Associate Cybersecurity Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization by addressing performance issues, specifically by offloading heavy traffic inspection and SSL inspection through sensors due to the limitations of the firewall.
Network & Security Lead at Net-International
Visibility is very important as it empowers users to understand what is happening; therefore, detection is one of the strongest features of Trellix Network Detection and Response.

Featured Reviews

Syed Mubeen - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Researcher at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Enterprise data protection has supported regulatory compliance and integrates with classification tools
In terms of functionality, many features are valuable in Digital Guardian, as the first thing for most customers is that they are using solutions such as Boldon James and Titus, which fall under the classification side, and Digital Guardian can easily integrate with this data classification solution and has a very granular level of configuration and policy tuning. Digital Guardian's data protection policies are indeed useful for my clients. Regarding Digital Guardian, I find it to be a very good solution, and in fact, it is an enterprise-level solution that has very tight integration with most of the products, with Fortra but also with others.
Twinkle Solanki - PeerSpot reviewer
Business development executive at Digitaltrack solution Pvt Ltd
Continuous network insight has improved early threat detection and streamlined investigations
Overall, we have a positive experience with Trellix Network Detection and Response, but like any enterprise security solution, there are areas where it can continue to improve. One area would be user interface and dashboard customization. While the platform provides a lot of valuable information, new users can sometimes face a learning curve when navigating and investigating and creating customized views. More intuitive dashboards would simplify workflows and help analysts access critical information even faster. Another area for improvement is reporting and analytics. The existing reporting capabilities are useful, but more flexibility and customizable reporting options would make it easier to generate executive-level summaries, compliance reports, and operational metrics for different audiences.
