Trellix Helix Connect needs design, integration, and UI improvements, addressing performance issues, costs, and enhanced security features.

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.
Technical Manager at Jlogic Innovations
We have just released the solutions to the market recently, making it a revolution in the cybersecurity sector.

Solution Architect at CTC
Improved threat detection has provided clear user risk insights and streamlined incident response
Exabeam's UEBA is the most valuable feature that I have found so far. Exabeam's UEBA displays the type of description that it could show in a console regarding one particular user, the rating that it shows, and how vulnerable the user is, which is very good. Exabeam's automation for incident response is very good. The machine learning capabilities of Exabeam are also good.
Melih Karasu - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Natica IT Consulting
Alarm correlation has improved incident investigations and streamlines multi-vendor security operations
There is room for improvement for Trellix Helix Connect; I see some direction that they still could improve. 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. Sometimes we saw that some documentation was not enough to integrate the third-party vendor's product. However, they improved their documentation, so it was a good experience. Everyone expected that we could use an XDR solution as on-premises; they could make some improvement on this point, which is a priority for some institutions. I am not sure what additional functionalities I would like to see in the future for Trellix Helix Connect; they could add some AI features, basically machine learning capabilities, and also improvements in the chatbot feature, but it was at the first stage an average.
