A solid SIEM solution that should improve technical support and online resources to be easier to use
A big problem with the product is that we don't have much professional experience in Israel installing, implementing, and integrating this product. There is not enough of a knowledge base. There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams. We like to work locally because of the language, and when the product is only supported outside the country, it's a little difficult to implement and use this product. Moreover, AI is something that must be added immediately. Artificial intelligence is a part of the competitors' products, and it's not been implemented for us.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technically speaking, this is a good product."
"Packet Solution: Allows analyst proactive hunting and alerting on daily sophisticated APTs."
"Thanks to this tool, we have a small SOC running in our company."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"The solution is reliable."
"Since the solution has been under way we have seen a large decrease of threats and proactive reactions to incidents."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication and then being able to investigate based on that, where you can see the payload and deconstruct the packets."
"The real-time alerts from Trellix Network Detection and Response reduced our average incident detection time from several hours to under thirty minutes, allowing the team to contain threats much faster."
"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."
"It protects from signature-based attacks and signature-less attacks. The sandboxing technology, invented by FireEye, is very valuable. Our customers go for FireEye because of the sandboxing feature. When there is a threat or any malicious activity with a signature, it can be blocked by IPS. However, attacks that do not have any signatures and are very new can only be blocked by using the sandboxing feature, which is available only in FireEye. So, FireEye has both engines. It has an IPS engine and a sandbox engine, which is the best part. You can get complete network protection by using FireEye."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The server appliance is good."
"It's a very simple solution and a very effective product in my network."
"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."
"The solution can scale."
 

Cons

"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"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."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"Advance monitoring and alerting feature is not stable (Event Stream Analysis)."
"The product continues to crash. Even with tech support help, it does not resolve itself."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."
"FireEye’s main feature is its sandboxing or threat emulation capabilities to detect malware with extra add-ons such as signature-based IPS or endpoint protection, but these features are lacking compared to most IPS or endpoint vendors."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The Trellix solution could be improved by enhancing the Central Management Console for faster visibility, which would help in network detection response."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response cannot be operated without customer support, especially during the first year and a half of use."
"The one thing that needs to improve is that they use guidance or FDK for max data."
"The product is pricey. We'd like it to cost less. Not all customers can afford it."
"The solution's support needs to improve their support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"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 tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"The product is expensive."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
"The pricing is a little high."
"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our mean time in being able to identify and detect malicious threats. The company that I work with is a very mature organization, and we have seen the meantime to analysis decrease by at least tenfold."
"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."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
