Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 1, 2024

Trellix Network Detection and Response and Veritas Alta SaaS Protection compete in the cybersecurity landscape. Trellix has an edge in threat detection with a focus on zero-day attacks, whereas Veritas excels in cloud integration.

Features: Trellix Network Detection and Response offers advanced threat detection capabilities for zero-day attacks, customizable Yara rules, and a user-friendly alert dashboard. It integrates seamlessly with sandbox environments for comprehensive network protection. Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is recognized for its ease of use, excellent integration features, especially with various cloud platforms, and offers reliable backup solutions for Office 365.

Room for Improvement: Trellix struggles with false positives and could improve in machine learning and firewall integration. There's room to expand its VM customization and reporting features. Veritas can enhance backup flexibility and improve maintainability as it scales, with attention needed on licensing complexity and compatibility with global cloud providers.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Trellix is primarily deployed on-premises with some hybrid cloud setups, offering responsive customer support across regions. Veritas has a substantial public and hybrid cloud presence with good customer service, though it could benefit from better support and streamlined deployment processes.

Pricing and ROI: Trellix is viewed as expensive but provides substantial ROI by reducing threat response times and preventing breaches. Veritas has mid-range pricing but may be considered high in certain markets due to currency fluctuations, though it also shows positive ROI in mitigating network attacks and lowering response times.

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.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance

One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us."

"The most valuable feature is the network security module."

"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 Network Detection and Response offers excellent diversity and support for different capabilities because it is built and composed of different services."

"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."

"FireEye has placed us in the position to proactively counter malicious threats; we now don’t have to take a user offline in order to rebuild their PC following an attack."

"It protects from signature-based attacks and signature-less attacks. The sandboxing technology, invented by FireEye, is very valuable. Our customers go for FireEye because of the sandboxing feature. When there is a threat or any malicious activity with a signature, it can be blocked by IPS. However, attacks that do not have any signatures and are very new can only be blocked by using the sandboxing feature, which is available only in FireEye. So, FireEye has both engines. It has an IPS engine and a sandbox engine, which is the best part. You can get complete network protection by using FireEye."

"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."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response pros

"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."

"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."

"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."

"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."

"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."

"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."

"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."

"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."

More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection pros

Cons

"The one thing that needs to improve is that they use guidance or FDK for max data."

"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment. When it comes to the type of applications and functions which we were looking at in terms of identifying malicious threats, there would be some level of complexity, if we were doing it right."

"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."

"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."

"They can maybe consider supporting some compliance standards. When we are configuring rules and policies, it can guide whether they are compliant with a particular compliance authority. In addition, if I have configured some rules that have not been used, it should give a report saying that these rules have not been used in the last three months or six months so that I disable or delete those rules."

"Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation."

"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."

"We'd like the potential for better scaling."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response cons

"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."

"Technical support can be improved."

"The usability of the solution isn't the best."

"The technical team wasn't very helpful."

"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good."

"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."

"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."

"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."

More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is a bit pricey."

"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 pricing is a little high."

"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."

"It's an expensive solution."

"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."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response pricing and cost advice

"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."

"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."

"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."

"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."

"The program is quite expensive."
