SimonClark - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

"The solution is stable with 12 years of established historical data."
"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."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"There are sandbox capabilities; you can submit malicious files and get great feedback, including if there is malware and what it is doing, and it can give you simulations in different operating systems and applications to provide real insights from the perspective of a real environment."
"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."
"It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic, as we can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us, giving us a better view of our network and our email environment."
"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."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"The biggest impact Trellix Network Detection and Response has had on our organization is improved visibility across our environment and better confidence during investigations, as security analysts can understand suspicious behavior more clearly instead of depending solely on isolated alerts."
"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."
 

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 initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment."
"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 is very expensive, the price could be better."
"Stability is fine as long as we don't go deeper into the system. Once we go deeper into the SSM, inspection, and decryption, we get some issues."
"Cluster option is not available in NX, and for false positives we need some customization configuration available, such as a whitelist."
"Improvement-wise, the initial setup, fine-tuning, and learning can take effort."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"I would like to see in Trellix Network Detection and Response more explanation about some details of the threat, and I wish it had more actions that you can take to contain the host or move it somewhere else."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"The pricing is a little high."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"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."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
