Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.

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

"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"We use the solution to collect logs."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"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."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
"I advise other customers to choose Trellix Helix, as it improves operations significantly with more efficient responses required for various scenarios they face."
"The features that I find most valuable in Trellix Helix Connect are the incident response capabilities, which include EDR and XDR, along with the SoC capabilities added in the new advanced Trellix AI intelligence."
"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."
"In general, I can say that Trellix Helix Connect impacted my organization positively."
"It is kind of simple and very easily deployable, and you can start working with it very fast."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"Regarding areas for improvement with Trellix Helix, I believe that if the integration with AWS and GCP environments could be improved, that would be beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"My advice to others considering Trellix Helix Connect is to proceed only if you are getting competitive pricing; otherwise, it is nothing special and simply offers what many other connectors, such as CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, and Defender, already offer."
"While we have top customer support and this solution is highly beneficial, there is room for improvement due to the fusion of McAfee and FireEye, which has caused some lapses in support."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"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."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
