Suhel Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Consultant (Siem Admin) at IBM
Precise incident handling has improved reporting and searching across complex security cases
I would like to see new features added, particularly regarding the incident upgrading part. For instance, if you have an instance and need to transfer it to a particular team, being able to show that the status is still in progress, which is currently in a beta version, would definitely help people to understand that the status has changed for the incident.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"​Integration to other security tools allows for a consolidated view of all vulnerabilities, incidents, etc. for all sorts of leverage in a single platform to assess governance risk and compliance as well as an enhanced, enriched intelligence.​"
"It streamlines processes; it collects data, takes that data and turns it into information, and allows you to manage through dashboards and work lists, improving every facet of the overall process."
"Reduces time to closure and closure metrics for vulnerabilities."
"Basically, everything is consolidated into ServiceNow, so most organizations have configuration items in ServiceNow, ServiceNow has a vulnerability module as well, so it brings in data from third-party tools and it can utilize that data itself in Security Operations."
"ServiceNow is a convenient platform to raise tickets, and the respective support team will contact us to resolve any issues."
"The ServiceNow platform provides tremendous value to organizations that not only want to implement SecOps, but when integrated with IT Service Management, IT Operations Management, Software Asset Management, Governance Risk and Compliance, and into their overall strategy for digital and business transformation."
"When things are set up correctly it goes really smooth, however, it's getting there that takes time."
"The solution is available over the cloud and is easy to manage."
"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 Connect has positively impacted my organization as it is the most important tool to provide MDR service to our clients, which has resulted in specific outcomes and improvements."
"With FireEye Helix, if a customer already uses any of the FireEye endpoint solutions, the response part is very fast and the investigation is also very fast."
"The solution is very high-quality and offers a very small number of false positives, so we don't have to get distracted by checking up on false data and making sure nothing is wrong."
"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 Connect is the overall complete cybersecurity solution, covering all aspects in one package, which is why I prefer it for cybersecurity."
"We have started working with various customers, one of whom is particularly concerned about adjacency. We have identified several use cases where automation is possible."
"We are able to block some advanced malware and other things."
 

Cons

"It is challenging for the customers to understand the processes for SecOps. It needs to be simplified."
"An area for improvement I observed in ServiceNow Security Operations is the need to maintain correct CMDB data because if you're unable to do this, you can't perfectly maintain the vulnerability data. CMDB data in ServiceNow Security Operations needs to be accurate. As I've been working on ServiceNow Security Operations for only seven months, I still need more time to try all its modules before I can give recommendations regarding additional features I'd like to see in the solution."
"The product of ServiceNow Security Operations needs more features. The product is called SecOps, but it is not security operations in terms of SIEM solutions."
"Customer awareness and understanding of ServiceNow's SecOps capabilities could be improved."
"It would be ideal if there were already integrations available in ServiceNow with third-party tools."
"The threat intelligence module needs a better dashboard."
"It's very slow. When you click a button or update a field, it takes forever to actually react."
"​Process framework and best practices for ease of integration between IT and security teams via incident, problem, and change.​"
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"I think the usability of hyperautomation is something to improve in the solution because it is expensive regarding the needed improvements."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"The support would rate a three out of ten. It can take one to four weeks to connect with someone who truly understands Helix and can provide solutions."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is more expensive than other solutions."
"It is an expensive product."
"Compared to competitor tools, ServiceNow Security Operations is more affordable"
"The solution is more expensive than BMC Remedy, the other ITSM tool available in the market."
"If you're going to implement it on your own, there would be internal costs. If you're going to implement it through a contractor or consultant, you have to pay for that."
"This product is a good value for the money."
"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."
