We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Trellix Helix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"The product can integrate with any device."
"Microsoft Sentinel enables you to ingest data from the entire ecosystem and that connection of data helps you to monitor critical resources and to know what's happening in the environment."
"The in-built SOAR of Sentinel is valuable. Kusto Query Language is also valuable for the ease of writing queries and ease of getting insights from the logs. Schedule-based queries within Sentinel are also valuable. I found these three features most useful for my projects."
"What is most useful, is that it has a good connection to the Microsoft ecosystem, and I think that's the key part."
"The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."
"Sentinel is a SIEM and SOAR tool, so its automation is the best feature; we can reduce human interaction, freeing up our human resources."
"The native integration of the Microsoft security solution has been essential because it helps reduce some false positives, especially with some of the impossible travel rules that may be configured in Microsoft 365. For some organizations, that might be benign because they're using VPNs, etc."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."
"Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"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."
"The product offers very strong automation. Our cyber security analysts don't have to correlate the information to detect problems. They only need to analyze problems that have been identified by the platform."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"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."
"It is kind of simple and very easily deployable. You can start working with it very fast."
"Sentinel should be improved with more connectors. At the moment, it only covers a few vendors. If I remember correctly, only 100 products are supported natively in Sentinel, although you can connect them with syslog. But Microsoft should increase the number of native connectors to get logs into Sentinel."
"Currently, the watchlist feature is being utilized, and although there have been improvements, it is still not fully optimized."
"The following would be a challenge for any product in the market, but we have some in-house apps in our environment... our apps were built with different parameters and the APIs for them are not present in Sentinel. We are working with Microsoft to build those custom APIs that we require. That is currently in progress."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"Microsoft Sentinel should provide an alternative query language to KQL for users who lack KQL expertise."
"Some of the data connectors are outdated, at least the ones that utilize Linux machines for log forwarding. I believe that Microsoft is already working on improving this."
"Improvement-wise, I would like to see more integration with third-party solutions or old-school antivirus products that have some kind of logging capability. I wouldn't mind having that exposed within Sentinel. We do have situations where certain companies have bought licensing or have made an investment in a product, and that product will be there for the next two or three years. To be able to view information from those legacy products would be great. We can then better leverage the Sentinel solution and its capabilities."
"If I see an alert and I want to drill down and get more details about the alert, it's not just one click. In other SIEM tools, you just have to click the IP address of the entity and they give you the complete picture. In Sentinel, you have to write queries or use saved queries to get details."
"Their visuals and graphs need to be better."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"Elastic Security's maintenance is hard and its scalability is a challenge. There are complications in scaling and upgrading. The solution needs to also provide periodic upgrade checks."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"The solution could offer better reporting features."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"The graphical user interface could be improved. It's not easy to handle and it's not easy for a customer or end-user to learn how to manage the solution."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"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."
