Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 1, 2024

Trellix Network Detection and Response and Morphisec compete in the network security category. Morphisec seems to have the upper hand due to its adaptability and lower resource impact.

Features: Trellix Network Detection and Response is known for its robust threat detection capabilities, including zero-day attack detection, application filtering, and real-time response. The integration with CM, deep malware analysis, and incident response are significant strengths. Morphisec stands out with its signatureless approach, in-memory attack protection, and Moving Target Defense. It provides seamless integration with Microsoft Defender.

Room for Improvement: Trellix faces challenges with high false positives and lacks certain advanced features like granular reporting and better integration capabilities. Users desire improved cloud connection, more customization, and simplified VM management. Morphisec could enhance its reporting functionality and reduce false positives. Users also seek better customer interaction and improved cloud deployment efficiency.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Trellix primarily utilizes on-premises deployment, which can be less flexible compared to Morphisec's options ranging from public and private cloud to hybrid cloud configurations.

Offers in-memory protection at a lower price than competitors

Morphisec's in-memory protection is probably the most valuable feature because it stops malicious activity from occurring. If something tries to install or act as a sleeper agent, Morphisec will detect and stop it. Morphisec's Moving Target Defense is critical to hardening our attack surface. If it detects something, it indicates whether it's valid. That means you've got a breach requiring investigation. It detects anomalies but doesn't necessarily point to what caused them. You still need to do that work. The solution is reasonably easy to administer. They made some changes last year, adding a cloud-based monitoring solution that makes deploying and monitoring our endpoints easy.

Continuous network insight has improved early threat detection and streamlined investigations

Overall, we have a positive experience with Trellix Network Detection and Response, but like any enterprise security solution, there are areas where it can continue to improve. One area would be user interface and dashboard customization. While the platform provides a lot of valuable information, new users can sometimes face a learning curve when navigating and investigating and creating customized views. More intuitive dashboards would simplify workflows and help analysts access critical information even faster. Another area for improvement is reporting and analytics. The existing reporting capabilities are useful, but more flexibility and customizable reporting options would make it easier to generate executive-level summaries, compliance reports, and operational metrics for different audiences.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides full visibility into security events and from both solutions in one dashboard. I'm not a big security guy, if I have a threat that looks like there's a problem, I will ask Morphisec to dissect it for me, and tell me what might be happening. Because it tends to be all hash codes, so I can tell what's going on. They've been pretty good with that."

"Morphisec provides full visibility into security events from Microsoft Defender and Morphisec in one dashboard. Defender and Morphisec are integrated. It's important because it lowers the total cost of maintenance on the engineer's time, more or less. So the administrative time is dramatically reduced in maintaining the product. This saves an engineer around four to five hours a week."

"Morphisec gives me even more than Microsoft can give me, even if I were to pay."

"We haven't had any cybersecurity incidents on machines running Morphisec."

"Morphisec is a straightforward solution that is efficient and very stable."

"Morphisec has enabled us to become a lot less paranoid when it comes to staff clicking on things or accessing things that they shouldn't that could infect the whole system. Our original ransomware attack that happened came from someone's Google drive and then just filtered on through that. It has put our minds at ease a lot more in running it. It's also another layer of security that has been proven to be effective for us."

"Morphisec has been a real lifesaver."

"The product has absolutely worked flawlessly; we have had basically no issues, either with the product or with any type of virus or zero-day attacks, ransomware, nothing, as it has caught everything."

More Morphisec pros

"FireEye is so effective at blocking attacks that we were even able to defer an upgrade of our IPS solution, saving a significant amount of money."

"Both for our clients and for ourselves, ROI was almost 200% more than we expected."

"After deploying Trellix Network Detection and Response, we saw a noticeable improvement in our security operations, as threat detection and incident times were reduced by 40 to 50 percent, the security team spent significantly less time manually analyzing network traffic, and we were able to identify suspicious activity that previously went unnoticed, leading to faster containment of potential incidents and improved overall response efficiency."

"I would definitely recommend this product because I have seen many cases where other solutions were not able to catch malware, but FireEye raised a red flag."

"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."

"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."

"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our meantime in being able to identify and detect malicious threats."

"Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization by creating a better safeguard and protecting us from threats."

Cons

"I haven't been able to get the cloud deployment to work. When there's an update, I'm supposed to be able to roll it out for the cloud solution, but right now I'm continuing to use our SCCM solution to update it."

"It would be nice if they could integrate Morphisec with other traditional antivirus solutions beyond Microsoft Defender. That is probably my biggest gripe."

"It would be useful for them if they had some kind of network discovery."

"We sometimes have to depend on the support team to know what action we should take. If the solution for an alert can be built into the report that we are getting, it will save time, and the interaction with support would be less. At times, corrective action is required, but at times, we don't need to take any action. It would be good if we get to know in the report that a particular infection doesn't require any action. It will save us time and effort."

"The weakest point of this product is how difficult it is to understand the reasons for an alert. This is a problem because it is hard to determine whether an attack is real or not."

"The dashboard is the area that requires the most improvement."

"If anything, tech support might be their weakest link. The process of getting someone involved sometimes takes a little time. It seems to me that they should have all the data they need to let me know whether an alert is legitimate or not, but they tend to need a lot of information from me to get to the bottom of something. It usually takes a little longer than I would expect."

"It might be a bit much to ask, but we are now beginning to use Morphisec Scout, which provides vulnerability information. At this time, it's recognizing vulnerabilities and reporting them to us, but it's not necessarily resolving them. There's still a separate manual process to resolve those vulnerabilities, primarily through upgrades. We have to do that outside of Morphisec. If Morphisec could somehow have that capability built into it, that would be very effective."

More Morphisec cons

"It is not a very secure product."

"It is very expensive, the price could be better."

"FireEye’s main feature is its sandboxing or threat emulation capabilities to detect malware with extra add-ons such as signature-based IPS or endpoint protection, but these features are lacking compared to most IPS or endpoint vendors."

"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."

"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."

"Cluster option is not available in NX, and for false positives we need some customization configuration available, such as a whitelist."

"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment. When it comes to the type of applications and functions which we were looking at in terms of identifying malicious threats, there would be some level of complexity, if we were doing it right."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little bit more expensive than other security products that we use, but it does provide us good protection. So, it is a trade-off."

"Price-wise, it's on the higher side. A traditional antivirus solution is cheaper, but in terms of security and manageability, its ROI is better than a traditional antivirus. I would recommend it to anybody evaluating or considering an antivirus solution. If your system gets compromised, the cost of ransom would be a lot more. This way, it saves a lot of cost."

"Licenses are per endpoint, and that's true for the cloud version as well. The only difference is that there is a little extra charge for the cloud version."

"Compared to their competitors, the price of Morphisec is not that high. You can easily deploy it on a large-scale or small-scale network."

"It does not have multi-tenants. If South Africa wants to show only the machines that they have, they need their own cloud incidence. It is not possible to have that in a single cloud incidence with multiple tenants in it, instead you need to have multiple cloud incidences. Then, if you have that, it will be more expensive. However, they are going to change that, which is good."

"It is an annual subscription basis per device. For the devices that we have in scope right now, it is about $25,000 a year."

"Morphisec is reasonably priced because our parent company's other subsidiaries use different products like CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is four or five times more expensive than Morphisec. The competitive pricing saves us money in our overall security stack."

"We are still using a separate tool. I know for our 600 or I think we're actually licensed for up to 700 users, it runs me 23 or $24,000 a year. When you're talking to that many users plus servers being protected, that's well worth the investment for that dollar amount."

More Morphisec pricing and cost advice

"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."

"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our mean time in being able to identify and detect malicious threats. The company that I work with is a very mature organization, and we have seen the meantime to analysis decrease by at least tenfold."

"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."

"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."

"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is 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."

"It's an expensive solution."
