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

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

"The product is very easy to configure."

"It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic. We can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us."

"Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats."

"The installation phase was easy."

"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."

"The solution can scale."

"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."

"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."

Cons

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

"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."

"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."

"It is not a very secure product."

"Technical packaging could be improved."

"The Trellix solution could be improved by enhancing the Central Management Console for faster visibility, which would help in network detection response."

"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."

"It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives."

"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

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

"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."

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."

"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."

"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."

"It's an expensive solution."

"The pricing is a little high."
