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

"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."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"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."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to identify threats earlier in the attack lifecycle and providing better visibility into network activity across the organization."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"FireEye has created an ecosystem of products integrated with their own SIEM, which is cloud-based and integrates with network security, email security, host security and the like."
"By every measure, the FireEye Network Threat Prevention Platform has exceeded our expectations."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Without tuning, you may get many false positives."
"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."
"I would like to see in Trellix Network Detection and Response more explanation about some details of the threat, and I wish it had more actions that you can take to contain the host or move it somewhere else."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"The product is pricey. We'd like it to cost less. Not all customers can afford it."
"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."
"The solution's support needs to improve their support."
"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."
"The technical support needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
"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."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"The pricing is a little high."
"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 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."
"The solution is overly priced."
