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

"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."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"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."
"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."
"For our customers, it added a layer of inspection that might be missed by traditional IPS or antivirus products, and that is the capability of catching new malware that might not have been identified or seen in the wild before."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"It's a very simple solution and a very effective product in my network."
"After deploying Trellix Network Detection and Response, we saw a noticeable improvement in our security operations, as threat detection and incident times were reduced by 40 to 50 percent, the security team spent significantly less time manually analyzing network traffic, and we were able to identify suspicious activity that previously went unnoticed, leading to faster containment of potential incidents and improved overall response efficiency."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"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 Trellix solution could be improved by enhancing the Central Management Console for faster visibility, which would help in network detection response."
"I have had a positive experience with Trellix Network Detection and Response, but there are areas where it could be improved."
"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."
"The pricing is not reasonable. The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"Customer service and technical support could use some enhancement. On a scale from 1 to 10, it is between six and seven."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"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."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"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."
