Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.

Centralized threat triage has improved endpoint control but still needs better cloud insights
Trellix Helix Connect can definitely be improved, especially regarding cloud and SaaS telemetry gaps. It could enhance its native cloud and SaaS telemetry integration. Additionally, sometimes when we open the details of a file, it lacks meta fields altogether, and we must manually ask the user for the meta fields, such as when the file was created, last opened, last updated, and its hash value. Helix does not perform as expected in this regard. There are also many false positives flagged that should not be, and there is no on-premises option for FireEye Helix. Lastly, the GUI and dashboard feel very old-school and legacy, needing improvement, as all competitors have far superior GUIs and UI/UX interfaces. I would add that we have experienced specific problems with session timeouts where we randomly log out from the system after some time and face issues in logging back in. This required us to contact customer service frequently, which is also not very reliable or prompt.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution to collect logs."
"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"The best feature of Trellix Helix Connect is its quick implementation."
"The solution is very high-quality and offers a very small number of false positives, so we don't have to get distracted by checking up on false data and making sure nothing is wrong."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"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."
"With FireEye Helix, if a customer already uses any of the FireEye endpoint solutions, the response part is very fast and the investigation is also very fast."
"As far as its core functionality goes, it’s spot-on."
"In general, I can say that Trellix Helix Connect impacted my organization positively."
"Trellix Helix Connect has positively impacted my organization as it is the most important tool to provide MDR service to our clients, which has resulted in specific outcomes and improvements."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"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."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"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."
"There are some issues such as high CPU utilization that we have experienced in the past whenever we were using Trellix Endpoint Security in the cloud system, which prevented anyone from working properly."
"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."
"While we have top customer support and this solution is highly beneficial, there is room for improvement due to the fusion of McAfee and FireEye, which has caused some lapses in support."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"I think the usability of hyperautomation is something to improve in the solution because it is expensive regarding the needed improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"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."
