A stable and scalable solution that can be used for log management and analytics
Two admins are managing the solution in our organization. Firstly, you need to prioritize the security threats you are looking for. You also need to know the incident response and compliance activities you are looking for. That can help your organization to have a proper ROI. Overall, I rate ArcSight Recon an eight out of ten.

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

"Since ArcSight Recon gives proper log management for us, it helps me with my compliance purposes and any forensic investigation."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
"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."
"I advise other customers to choose Trellix Helix, as it improves operations significantly with more efficient responses required for various scenarios they face."
"The best features Trellix Helix Connect offers are orchestration, visibility, and remediation, which stand out to me as key differentiators."
"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."
"In general, I can say that Trellix Helix Connect impacted my organization positively."
"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."
"We are able to block some advanced malware and other things."
 

Cons

"The solution's speed has to be improved because more data analytics makes the application slower."
"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."
"My advice to others considering Trellix Helix Connect is to proceed only if you are getting competitive pricing; otherwise, it is nothing special and simply offers what many other connectors, such as CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, and Defender, already offer."
"I think the usability of hyperautomation is something to improve in the solution because it is expensive regarding the needed improvements."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"To improve Trellix Helix Connect, I note it has a high CPU and memory usage whenever the operating system is starting up."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"Regarding areas for improvement with Trellix Helix, I believe that if the integration with AWS and GCP environments could be improved, that would be beneficial."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
