Has improved threat detection workflows and supports seamless customer monitoring
The best features Trellix Network Detection and Response offers include very good threat detection, and I believe that it is one of the best XDR tools. For example, ePO and XDR components are very comfortable and similar to many other tools for this type of monitoring, and I have received very good feedback for this tool. What makes Trellix Network Detection and Response stand out for me compared to other tools is the way you can detect threats. It is very easy and comfortable to use, and the detection shows clearly on the screen, which is very easy to understand. Regarding the features, I think that the integration with other platforms is very comfortable with the customer because we can integrate it with any switch or firewall, and it is comfortable to add this tool. Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization as I have improved my knowledge about detection and response. I have already used some other tools such as CrowdStrike and Umbrella, but Trellix is one of the best that I have tested. I believe that for my organization, Trellix has helped a lot with detection and supported our customers effectively. Trellix Network Detection and Response is a great tool that integrates with a lot of security tools such as Palo Alto, which is a good firewall. If you have these types of tools, your organization would benefit greatly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Trellix Network Detection and Response helps increase response to attacks. One benefit is increased visibility and simplicity in maintaining it. AI analyzes and relates data based on past performance over the last five days."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."
"The solution's support needs to improve their support."
"It is not a very secure product."
"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 Trellix solution could be improved by enhancing the Central Management Console for faster visibility, which would help in network detection response."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"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."
"The technical support needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"The pricing is a little high."
"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 solution is overly priced."
