Offers in-depth investigation capabilities, integrates well and smoothly transitioned from a lower-capacity appliance to a higher one

The in-depth investigation capabilities are a major advantage. When the system flags something as malicious, it provides a packet capture of that activity within the environment. That helps my team quickly identify additional context that most other tools wouldn't offer – like source IP or base64 encoded data. We can also see DNS requests and other details that aren't readily available in solutions like Check Point or others that we've tried. The detection itself is solid, and their sandboxing is powerful. There's a learning curve – you need a strong grasp of OS-level changes, process forking, registry changes, and the potential impact of those. But with that knowledge, the level of information Trellix provides is far greater than what we've seen elsewhere. The real-time response capability of Trellix has been quite effective, although it's not very fast. The key is this solution's concept of 'preference zero.' They don't immediately act on a zero-day. For example, the solution has seen a piece of malware for the first time. It'll let it in, then do sandboxing. Maybe after four or five minutes, it identifies that specific file's DNX Secure Store as malicious. At that point, they update the static analysis engine, and it gets detected if anything else tries to download the same file. There is that initial 'preference zero' concept, like with Panda. You may not hold traffic in the network. That's standard in the industry; we don't do much about it. To address that, we also have endpoint solutions. We use SentinelOne in our environment, which helps us identify threats like Western Bureaus and others.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."

"Flowmon is more easy to understand and helps find network issues more quickly."

"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."

"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."

"Flowmon is more easy to understand and helps find network issues more quickly."

"Trellix Network Detection and Response helps increase response to attacks. One benefit is increased visibility and simplicity in maintaining it. AI analyzes and relates data based on past performance over the last five days."

"If we are receiving spam emails, or other types of malicious email coming from a particular email ID, then we are able to block them using this solution."

"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."

"Initially, we didn't have much visibility around what is occurring at our applications lower level. For instance, if we are exposed to any malicious attacks or SQL injections. But now we've integrated FireEye with Splunk, so now we get lots of triggers based on policy content associated with FireEye. The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."

"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."

"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."

"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."

"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."

Cons

"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."

"I do not know the detailed pricing."

"The licensing price could be better."

"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."

"It is an expensive solution."

"Certain features in Trellix Network Detection and Response, such as using AL-type commands, may initially pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with such commands. However, once users become accustomed to the system, it becomes easier to use."

"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."

"Based on what we deployed, they should emphasize the application filtering and the web center. We need to look deeper into the SSM inspection. If we get the full solution with that module, we don't need to get the SSM database from another supplier."

"We'd like the potential for better scaling."

"Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation. We are an official distributor and partner of FireEye, and we have access to complete documentation about how to configure or implement this technology, but for customers, very limited documentation is available openly. This is the area in which FireEye should evolve. All documents should be easily available for everyone."

"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."

"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It works with a permanent license, and then you can pay for the support. For the gold support, you need to pay yearly."

"The licensing fee accrues only once, but that of support is annual."

"The price of the solution could be better."

"It's an expensive solution."

"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."

"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."

"The pricing is a little high."

"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."

"There are some additional services that I understand the vendor provides, but our approach was to package all of the features that we were looking to use into the product."

"The tool is a bit pricey."
