Featured Reviews

Subhayu Chakraborty - PeerSpot reviewer
Automatic reports streamline tasks and offers easy report gathering
The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart, though I forgot the exact term. I encountered several issues while trying to create solutions for this advanced version, which seem unrelated to query or data issues.
Daniel_Martins - PeerSpot reviewer
Decade of experience empowers seamless problem resolution and support
I haven't seen threat intelligence and machine learning for predictive threat analysis in the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System yet. For Trellix IPS, AI improvements are an area where it can improve. It's a significant feature. Regarding the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System's flexibility for catering to our organization's specific infrastructure requirements, we have only on-premises and virtual appliances, but it's acceptable. The access and platform could potentially integrate with SaaS. Similar to when you put the EPO in mode integration with SaaS, you can connect with a local credential and with an X Console credential. Another possibility would be to connect with an integration login with the X Console. We have this with EPO on-premise, but with IPS, we don't have it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"The best features in Splunk User Behavior Analytics include anomaly detection, behavioral profiling, and risk scoring and prioritization functionality."
"Splunk is highly valuable for query purposes."
"The most effective one is the integration with other vendors."
"Features like alerts and auto report generation are valuable."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"Overall the solution is very good. It offers great protection and gives us a good overview of what is on the network."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"Great monitoring feature."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The feature I found most valuable is the network threat analyzer in the security platform. It also integrates with GTI, or Global Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I just use the basic features."
"The product is worth the investment."
"The best features of Trellix Intrusion Prevention System include advanced ATP (Advanced Threat Protection), which uses signatures, behavior analysis, and machine learning to stop zero-day exploits and malware advanced persistent threats (APTs)."
 

Cons

"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
"I would like to see an enhancement in the automation of creating the rules."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"In terms of improvements, advanced reporting could see enhancements as there are some issues with latency."
"There are occasional bugs."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Trellix Intrusion Prevention System does not provide virtual patching."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"The area of concern where the tool needs improvement is how the product prompts users at a network level that helps prevent any wireless network attacks through alerts and notifications."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The technical support must be improved."
"We would like to have a simpler version. Some settings and functions on the McAfee console are complex and complicated. I want the management console to be simpler."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"The tool is competitively priced."
"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten."
