Featured Reviews

Manager, Information Technology Security at Nesma
Has good integration capability and provides information and events but improvement is needed in information retrieval speed
The best features are the comprehensive event collection and analysis. Once set up properly, we receive all events and information. The team analyzes our data and presents incidents to us. We can communicate with their team to escalate and resolve incidents. It has a feature we use to search for information about our environment and past incidents. This is very valuable. The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets.

Associate Cybersecurity Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Centralized threat triage has improved endpoint control but still needs better cloud insights
Trellix Helix Connect can definitely be improved, especially regarding cloud and SaaS telemetry gaps. It could enhance its native cloud and SaaS telemetry integration. Additionally, sometimes when we open the details of a file, it lacks meta fields altogether, and we must manually ask the user for the meta fields, such as when the file was created, last opened, last updated, and its hash value. Helix does not perform as expected in this regard. There are also many false positives flagged that should not be, and there is no on-premises option for FireEye Helix. Lastly, the GUI and dashboard feel very old-school and legacy, needing improvement, as all competitors have far superior GUIs and UI/UX interfaces. I would add that we have experienced specific problems with session timeouts where we randomly log out from the system after some time and face issues in logging back in. This required us to contact customer service frequently, which is also not very reliable or prompt.

Pros

"ClearSkies is the best for software as a service and small organizations with up to 500 employees."
"The correlation rules and the user platform are most valuable."
"The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets."
"The integration is very useful and very easy. You can have an API connection with any cloud and I'll be able to do both ways of communication with the help of APA."
"I like that it's easy. It's got the protection set up, and we can see whatever is required. We write our own rules and the rules that we can input. I think it is good."
"We estimate that security investigation and incident response activities are approximately 40 to 45% faster compared to before implementing Trellix Helix Connect."
"The pre-built rules and analytics save us a lot of time and have positively impacted my team's workflow because whenever we migrate to a new tool, we basically have to sit for months to form the rules and alerts."
"The best feature of Trellix Helix Connect is its quick implementation."
"As far as its core functionality goes, it’s spot-on."
"I advise other customers to choose Trellix Helix, as it improves operations significantly with more efficient responses required for various scenarios they face."
"Trellix Helix is an excellent product that I would advise others looking into using for the first time because FireEye provides documentation on setup and how to create queries, and they also have a YouTube channel explaining all involved queries, and I have not found anything lacking in the training for implementation."
 

Cons

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology. They also improve their correlation engine. In addition to collecting logs from devices, they can collect the traffic and then correlate these logs and the traffic information."
"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."
"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"The weak point of Trellix Helix Connect is the data storage capacity; more storage must be purchased as the data grows, which is a disadvantage because the cost increases when more space is needed on the cloud."
"I think the usability of hyperautomation is something to improve in the solution because it is expensive regarding the needed improvements."
"The most problematic part was the integration part because in their catalog, they have so many third-party vendors, but some of them were not fully supported, so we requested some development and feature requests."
"There are some issues such as high CPU utilization that we have experienced in the past whenever we were using Trellix Endpoint Security in the cloud system, which prevented anyone from working properly."
"Sometimes the rules are disabled by FireEye, and we basically get it after the patch. I think there needs to be a better way of creating the application rules. I would like to see better pricing for our licensing."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."
"They have changed the pricing policy. Its price is competitive. Its price is less than half of the price of QRadar, LogRhythm, and Splunk."
"The price could be better. But I think it's rightly placed when we buy everything in one shot, and we get some discount for that. That's how we basically plan our deployment, and it's holistic. We pay for the license yearly."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
