Cyber Security Advisor - Director at Fort Net UK

Able to discover unpatched servers, offers good stability, and scales very well

A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful. This could be useful for insurance companies offering cyber insurance to enterprise customers, providing the insurer with a valuable way to unobtrusively, quickly, and frequently assess their customers and apply appropriate premiums for the level of risk. This would also be useful for enterprises. They could, for example, assess companies prior to a merger or acquisition. What would also be useful for any enterprise would be if their supply chain has some kind of direct digital access to parts of their network.

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

"Attack Surface Management provided our customers with visibility on everything in their network and domains - anything publicly-facing on the internet - and shows where they have potential vulnerabilities."

"The solution is stable with 12 years of established historical data."

"It has provided us with better malware, intrusion and incident detection."

"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."

"Support is very helpful and responsive."

"The most valuable feature is the network security module."

"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."

"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email, using virtual machines to test the behavior of the files and determine whether they are malicious in nature, blocking any abnormal activity and recording the hash value to submit to the cloud and add to the blacklist."

"The solution can scale."

"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."

Cons

"A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful."

"The product scales from small to enormous, however, the pricing is not suitable for very small companies."

"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."

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

"On a scale of one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best, I would you rate this product an 8. From a security perspective, it's pretty decent. It's just that I have seen it miss some semi loads or triggers when it's integrated with other products."

"The product is pricey. We'd like it to cost less. Not all customers can afford it."

"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."

"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."

"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."

"The analytics could be better. It seems heavily influenced by the McAfee and FireEye integration, and that integration still isn't seamless."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"The tool is a bit pricey."

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

"The pricing is a little high."

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

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

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."

"It's an expensive solution."
