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.

Automation through playbooks has transformed incident response and continuously improves detection
The best features Trellix Helix Connect offers include automation through playbooks and SOAR capability, which has been the most impactful feature for me. It helps by standardizing response actions, reducing manual steps, decreasing mean time to contain, and minimizing analyst fatigue. Automation made the biggest operational difference. Before Helix playbooks, our workflow was manual and large. Analysts reviewed EDR alerts, then checked Active Directory logs manually, looked up hash reputation in different tools such as VirusTotal and Hybrid-Analyzer, then verified if the endpoint is critical, reported an incident, and created a ticket with the SOC, NOC, or a different help desk, and perhaps contacted IT for containment of the incident. That process could take up to one hour for medium-severity events. After we implemented playbooks, we designed a conditional playbook for suspicious PowerShell execution. If EDR flags encoded PowerShell and the user account is privileged, there are different options. Then automatically it isolates the endpoint, calculates risk score, creates an incident ticket, notifies the corresponding SOC channel, and enriches the information with threat intelligence. Another positive organizational impact will be faster incident triage, reduced alert noise through correlation, better cross-domain visibility for endpoint, network, and identity when you work in a Trellix environment in your infrastructure, improved reporting for leadership, and increased SOC maturity and operation consistency. Trellix Helix Connect has made a significant impact on my organization because I can reduce mean time to contain, improve alert quality, standardize incident handling with playbook enforcement, and provide stronger executive reporting on Helix incident metrics improving MTDD and MTTC tracking as well as internal risk posture reporting. Overall, it has an impact because it helps transition the organization from tool-centric monitoring to orchestrated intelligence-driven response, improving operational maturity, analyst productivity, and measurable security performance indicators. For metrics, before Helix, our Mean Time to Detect was managed through manual correlation across tools. After implementing Helix correlation and enrichment, the average MTTD reduced to between twenty and twenty-five minutes. The MTTC reduced on average to between one and two hours.

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."
"We are able to block some advanced malware and other things."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The best feature of Trellix Helix Connect is its quick implementation."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"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."
"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."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
"I think the usability of hyperautomation is something to improve in the solution because it is expensive regarding the needed improvements."
"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."
"We often rely on Martins to create logs and provide professional threat services rather than basic support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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