It is a stable solution, but they should make the user interface easier to understand

The solution's initial setup takes work. We have to organize multiple paths and many features. The deployment process takes less than a week. But it takes a month to complete if we want to make the solution smarter by integrating it with various devices. I rate the process as a six out of ten.

Has improved threat detection workflows and supports seamless customer monitoring

The best features Trellix Network Detection and Response offers include very good threat detection, and I believe that it is one of the best XDR tools. For example, ePO and XDR components are very comfortable and similar to many other tools for this type of monitoring, and I have received very good feedback for this tool. What makes Trellix Network Detection and Response stand out for me compared to other tools is the way you can detect threats. It is very easy and comfortable to use, and the detection shows clearly on the screen, which is very easy to understand. Regarding the features, I think that the integration with other platforms is very comfortable with the customer because we can integrate it with any switch or firewall, and it is comfortable to add this tool. Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization as I have improved my knowledge about detection and response. I have already used some other tools such as CrowdStrike and Umbrella, but Trellix is one of the best that I have tested. I believe that for my organization, Trellix has helped a lot with detection and supported our customers effectively. Trellix Network Detection and Response is a great tool that integrates with a lot of security tools such as Palo Alto, which is a good firewall. If you have these types of tools, your organization would benefit greatly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly. This means that the security analyst or the researcher does not have to learn another language."

"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."

"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."

"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."

"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."

"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."

"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."

More NetWitness Platform pros

"The server appliance is good."

"Trellix Network Detection and Response helps increase response to attacks. One benefit is increased visibility and simplicity in maintaining it. AI analyzes and relates data based on past performance over the last five days."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how it allows users to do the investigation part. Another important part of the product that is valuable is associated with how it gives information to users in the form of a storyline."

"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."

"I also like its logging method. Its logging is very powerful and useful for forensic purposes. You can see the traffic or a specific activity or how something entered your network and where it went."

"We wanted to cross-reference that activity with the network traffic just to be sure there was no lateral movement. With Trellix, we easily confirmed that there was no lateral network involvement and that nothing else was infected. It helped us correlate the events and feel confident in our containment."

"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."

"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response pros

Cons

"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."

"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."

"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."

"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."

"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."

"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."

"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."

"Technical support could be improved."

More NetWitness Platform cons

"Certain features in Trellix Network Detection and Response, such as using AL-type commands, may initially pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with such commands. However, once users become accustomed to the system, it becomes easier to use."

"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."

"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."

"Based on what we deployed, they should emphasize the application filtering and the web center. We need to look deeper into the SSM inspection. If we get the full solution with that module, we don't need to get the SSM database from another supplier."

"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment. When it comes to the type of applications and functions which we were looking at in terms of identifying malicious threats, there would be some level of complexity, if we were doing it right."

"Technical packaging could be improved."

"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."

"It is not a very secure product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."

"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."

"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."

"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."

"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."

"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."

"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."

"The product is expensive."

More NetWitness Platform pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."

"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."

"There are some additional services that I understand the vendor provides, but our approach was to package all of the features that we were looking to use into the product."

"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."

"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."

"It's an expensive solution."

"The tool is a bit pricey."
