Ensuring long-term reliability while seeking internal email management enhancements
Prisma is a commercial name of the firewall now, but we don't work with the cloud product. Only our company is using it and we do not recommend it to customers. For us, it's transparent because it's a cloud product, so we don't really know the version as it's always updated. We have not had any problem, but it's difficult to report on what's going on because some days they can wash out perhaps 100 mails, and then it's difficult to say how many attacks you have reached. The right email has been washed out and then nobody has complained. We do not use the Threat Visualization feature; as we are in MX, the mail is washed out before it is in the mail inbox of the user, thus avoiding any problem requiring a reservation. In fact, there is no integration with existing security frameworks. The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail. I rate Trellix Advanced Threat Defense a nine out of ten.

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 most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."
"It was easy to set up initially."
"This solution is very easy to use and requires little to no training."
"The fact that in 10 years, we have had no problem is the most valuable feature for us; it's really a washing machine, but the only problem we face is that it's difficult to report on this product."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server."
"It is stable and reliable."
"It is very scalable."
"Once we had a chance to do our own due diligence, it was clear that there is really nothing else that compares with the FireEye appliance."
"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our meantime in being able to identify and detect malicious threats."
"If we are receiving spam emails, or other types of malicious email coming from a particular email ID, then we are able to block them using this solution."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"We have seen several positive impacts since implementing Trellix Network Detection and Response, particularly in the areas of threat detection, intelligence, response, and operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted our organization by making our security team more confident and responsible, knowing that the network is being watched all the time, allowing us to respond to threats much faster than we used to."
"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."
 

Cons

"The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail."
"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."
"It was not complex, but there are things to look out for, because it's an intense product. It scans intensely and there are major obstacles to overcome if it scans while users are using a network, then it is not a good thing."
"Make the ATD appliance a part of the whole product offering and take the whole thing onto the cloud."
"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client."
"The support on their side is not readily available. It takes a while."
"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
"This product does the job, but it is not flexible enough to do new environments yet."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment."
"Technical support could be improved."
"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."
"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed. We would like FireEye to be more secure as an organization. FireEye has to be more protective because it is one of the most critical devices that we are using in our environment. They have a concept called SSL decryption, but that is only the packet address. We would like FireEye to also do a lot of decryption inside the packet. Currently, FireEye only does encryption and decryption of the header, but we would like them to do encryption and decryption of the entire packet."
"Without tuning, you may get many false positives."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing fees for this solution are approximately one million dollars per year."
"The product is expensive, but it is better than the rest of them in the industry."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
