Both Digital Guardian and Trellix Active Response are highly regarded in their respective domains. Digital Guardian has an edge in pricing and support, while Trellix Active Response stands out with its comprehensive features.
Features: Digital Guardian is praised for its robust data loss prevention capabilities, comprehensive policy enforcement, and satisfactory return on investment. Trellix Active Response stands out with its advanced threat detection, seamless integration, and real-time incident response.
Room for Improvement: Digital Guardian users often mention the need for a more intuitive policy configuration, enhanced scalability options, and better reporting features. For Trellix Active Response, users highlight the necessity for reduced false positives, quicker response times, and improved user interface.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Digital Guardian offers a straightforward deployment with a reliable customer support team that receives positive reviews. Trellix Active Response provides a flexible deployment model but has mixed reviews regarding the speed of customer service responses.
Pricing and ROI: Digital Guardian is noted for its competitive pricing, making it a cost-effective solution for data protection. Trellix Active Response, although pricier, is viewed as a solid investment due to its comprehensive security features and excellent ROI in security enhancements.
While we haven't yet quantified the financial benefits, we recognize that there has been a return on investment, particularly with operational efficiencies provided by the alerts.
For vendor support, such as Fortra support, I would rate it a seven because all the support comes from different parts that sometimes have challenges meeting time zones, and sometimes they reroute to distributors and rely on partners.
I would rate technical support from Trellix Active Response as a seven because sometimes we face difficulties finding engineers quickly, leading to customer frustration.
Regarding scalability, it is a 10 out of 10.
The scalability of Active Response is satisfactory.
The issue is that it works only with users or companies with more than 500 users.
We would like Trellix to optimize the technology for these systems similarly to how it is deployed for normal endpoints.
There is room for improvement in the platform area and security area to make the dashboard visibility clearer and easier for customers to monitor malicious activities occurring in their environment.
Based on our evaluations, Trellix Active Response's pricing was the most feasible from a cost perspective.
I find it to be a very good solution, and in fact, it is an enterprise-level solution that has very tight integration with most of the products, with Fortra but also with others.
They notify us immediately of any vulnerabilities on the endpoints, allowing us to deploy a response quickly.
The most valuable feature of Trellix Active Response is that whenever any incident occurs, it allows us to disconnect from that particular network or area and shut down the system using commands.
