Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Automation through playbooks has transformed incident response and continuously improves detection
The best features Trellix Helix Connect offers include automation through playbooks and SOAR capability, which has been the most impactful feature for me. It helps by standardizing response actions, reducing manual steps, decreasing mean time to contain, and minimizing analyst fatigue. Automation made the biggest operational difference. Before Helix playbooks, our workflow was manual and large. Analysts reviewed EDR alerts, then checked Active Directory logs manually, looked up hash reputation in different tools such as VirusTotal and Hybrid-Analyzer, then verified if the endpoint is critical, reported an incident, and created a ticket with the SOC, NOC, or a different help desk, and perhaps contacted IT for containment of the incident. That process could take up to one hour for medium-severity events. After we implemented playbooks, we designed a conditional playbook for suspicious PowerShell execution. If EDR flags encoded PowerShell and the user account is privileged, there are different options. Then automatically it isolates the endpoint, calculates risk score, creates an incident ticket, notifies the corresponding SOC channel, and enriches the information with threat intelligence. Another positive organizational impact will be faster incident triage, reduced alert noise through correlation, better cross-domain visibility for endpoint, network, and identity when you work in a Trellix environment in your infrastructure, improved reporting for leadership, and increased SOC maturity and operation consistency. Trellix Helix Connect has made a significant impact on my organization because I can reduce mean time to contain, improve alert quality, standardize incident handling with playbook enforcement, and provide stronger executive reporting on Helix incident metrics improving MTDD and MTTC tracking as well as internal risk posture reporting. Overall, it has an impact because it helps transition the organization from tool-centric monitoring to orchestrated intelligence-driven response, improving operational maturity, analyst productivity, and measurable security performance indicators. For metrics, before Helix, our Mean Time to Detect was managed through manual correlation across tools. After implementing Helix correlation and enrichment, the average MTTD reduced to between twenty and twenty-five minutes. The MTTC reduced on average to between one and two hours.

"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The support system is very good."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The user interface is very good."
"We are able to block some advanced malware and other things."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"The best feature of Trellix Helix Connect is its quick implementation."
"As far as its core functionality goes, it’s spot-on."
 

Cons

"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"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."
"From my experience, Trellix Helix Connect could improve in design and perhaps strengthen native cloud and SaaS telemetry integration."
"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."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"From my experience, Trellix Helix Connect could improve in design and perhaps strengthen native cloud and SaaS telemetry integration."
"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

"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
