Senior Software Development Engineer at CSG
Private cloud messaging has improved security and supports reliable end‑to‑end workflows
We follow a standard deployment schedule and deploy at a specific day and time. At the time of deployment, everything has to be ready. If everything is ready, it may take approximately 45 minutes to one hour. If not, we have to postpone our schedule and send a notification to the users about maintenance. For deployment, we always know what comes through because we have three environments to test: development, test, and production. We only proceed to production once everything is working fine in development and test. We have CloudFormation and other templates which handle all those details, such as changing instances or auto-scaling if migration is needed. All those details are quite straightforward.

Endpoint protection has strengthened network control and has simplified global threat response
In my opinion, the best features Trellix Collaboration Security offers include the firewall, the on-access scan, and the ability to obtain daily signatures for the latest malware. These daily signatures, referred to as content, ensure that we are protected against the most recent malware threats recognized by other companies. Another feature I particularly enjoy is the capability to maintain different locations that can communicate with the fabric, or DXL fabric as I refer to it, allowing me to create something akin to an EDR for immediate responses to resolve issues. The DXL fabric has helped my organization by enabling communication between different locations, such as one in Europe, another in South America, and one here. This fabric communicates with a broker that interacts with the TIE servers, which maintain the reputation of files, certificates, and known signatures from various regions including Europe, South America, and Canada. When something suspicious occurs, such as a certificate appearing malicious on an application, I can easily click and indicate that I trust this file, and through the fabric, I can apply an exclusion for that application across all locations simultaneously. Other features I find valuable include the SSO integration with Trellix EPO, specifically SAML SSO, allowing people not to have to manage usernames and passwords if they already utilize an SSO service for SAML; I consider this functionality to be quite beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS Wickr has positively impacted my organization in multiple ways, as we received very positive feedback from our stakeholders and external partners regarding the ease of use and the functionalities and features it provides, along with frequent updates that allow us to implement improvements regularly."
"AWS Wickr has positively impacted the organization as the features being used have made us confident that the resources we share are not going out of the organization and are not being leaked."
"The reduction in time to resolution has led to radical transparency for our partners."
"With most workplace messaging tools, the primary focus is productivity and collaboration, whereas Wickr seems to be built around secure communication."
"AWS Wickr has impacted my organization positively as it ensures the security of communication and has helped us avoid security threats for the company."
"AWS has infrastructure as a service, which means we do not have to worry much about it."
"AWS Wickr has positively impacted my organization by providing a helpful encrypted solution for matters of this sensitive nature."
"We can control this solution from the cloud and are able to access it from wherever we are."
"One of the most valuable features is the protection against vulnerabilities, particularly through virtual patching."
"FireEye ETP has blocked several campaigns that lead to the post compromise deployment of ransomware, Obfuscated Outlook Phishing impersonation, Attachment based Phishing."
"The initial setup is simple."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"Before installing, consider potential challenges with system performance, especially when integrating multiple tools, which could slow down performance."
"I like FireEye's filtering, spam digests, and its advanced threat review of email flow. It also has a broad range of riskware rules you can deploy."
 

Cons

"However, for everyday software development collaboration, I would probably still lean towards Teams or Slack."
"AWS Wickr was not embedded directly into the mobile app; instead, it was used as a secure internal collaboration layer for the development and operation teams, which supported secure coordination around mobile development, testing, and releases."
"AWS Wickr still has good scope for improvement in terms of feature enhancement."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that pricing is a bit more expensive, and licensing is also a bit expensive."
"User experience consistency across devices is something AWS Wickr can improve."
"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
"I deduct two points because while we are using it for insiders, we still rely on another solution for gateway level security, which makes us use two different solutions for the same purpose."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"The solution needs better support."
"If you really need something powerful to handle multiple routes and delivery points then this solution might not be for you."
"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"The cloud product is not open to the customers. If the system itself could be more open to the customer, I'd be able to configure it more specifically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."
"The cost is very high."
"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
