Cisco Sourcefire SNORT vs Trellix Intrusion Prevention System - Virtual comparison

"Solid intrusion detection and prevention that scales easily in very large environments."

"The product is inexpensive compared to leading brands such as Palo Alto or Fortinet."

"In general, the features are all great. However, if I need to take hardware for ASA, because they need to upgrade to Firepower, we want to create rules. For that, most of the time we go to the command line. Right now Firepower is working really hard on the grid. You can apply all those rules to the grid. Even if you want to monitor the logs, for example, the activity will tell you which particular user has been blocked because of that rule. Firepower's monitoring interface is very good, because you can see each and every piece. ASA also had it, but there you needed to type the command and be under the server to see all that stuff. In Firepower you have the possibility to go directly to the firewall. The way the monitoring is displayed is also very nice. The feature I appreciate most in Firepower is actually the grid. The grid has worked very well."

"The URL filtering is very good and you can create a group for customized URLs."

"The logging is mainly what I consider one of the best features with Cisco Sourcefire SNORT; being able to log and store it in a file allows you to push it to a centralized repository."

"The tool's most valuable feature is threat detection, which is important because we have multiple layers not only in Cisco."

"It is quite an intelligent product."

"It has a huge rate of protection. It's has a low level of positives and a huge rate of threat protection. It's easy to deploy and easy to implement. It has an incredible price rate compared to similar solutions."

"My experience with Forcepoint DLP is that it is a good product, and customer feedback has always been positive."

"There are problems setting up VPNs for some regions."

"Cisco Sourcefire SNORT can scale, but if you have too much, you could fill up your log files, which I consider when discussing scalability."

"The solution's approach to managing traffic blocking is confusing and impractical."

"Performance needs improvement."

"The cloud can be improved."

"While the alerts they offer are good, it could improve it in the sense that they should be more detailed to make the alerts more useful to us in general. Sometimes the solution will offer up false positives. Due to the fact that the alerts aren't detailed, we have to go dig around to see why is it being blocked. The solution would be infinitely better if there was just a bit more detail in the alert information and logging we receive."

"I would like to have analytics included in the suite."

"The customization of the rules can be simplified."

"Trellix Intrusion Prevention System - Virtual needs to be more focused on the product line and should consider the current scenario of threats to provide better solutions for handling those threats frequently."

"Licensing for this solution is paid on a yearly basis."

"The cost is per port and can be expensive but it does include training and support for three years."

"If one is an extremely expensive product, and ten is cheap, I rate the tool's price as a five."

"We have a three-year license for this solution."

"I don't know the exact amount, but most of the time when I go to a company with a proposition, they will say, "This thing that you are selling is good, but it's expensive. Why don't you propose something like FortiGate, Check Point, or Palo Alto?" Cisco device are expensive compared to other devices."
