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."
"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."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response definitely helps make investigations faster and more efficient."
"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."
"We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network. We can stop it before we have a bigger mess to clean up."
"After all of our testing was conducted we felt confident that this was the right approach to safeguard the bank from advanced malware, zero-day and targeted attacks."
"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 MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how it allows users to do the investigation part. Another important part of the product that is valuable is associated with how it gives information to users in the form of a storyline."
 

Cons

"The product scales from small to enormous, however, the pricing is not suitable for very small companies."
"A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful."
"Improvement-wise, the initial setup, fine-tuning, and learning can take effort."
"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."
"The Trellix solution could be improved by enhancing the Central Management Console for faster visibility, which would help in network detection response."
"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."
"If you want to search the hashes in the environment, you need to put in IOCs one by one, making it a very hectic job."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
"The pricing is a little high."
"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."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
