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. This flexibility gives Morphisec an edge in adaptability. In terms of customer service, Trellix is praised for global support, while Morphisec is recognized for educational pricing and customer accommodation.

Pricing and ROI: Trellix is perceived as pricier, justified by its comprehensive threat detection capabilities and is seen as a high-value investment by some users.

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

"The simplicity of the solution, how easy it is to deploy and how small it is when deployed as an agent on a device, is probably the biggest aspect, given what it can do."

"What's valuable is really the whole kit and caboodle of the Morphisec agent. What it does is genius, in a way, until the bad guys get wise to it. You set it up and then you watch the dashboard. There isn't really much tinkering."

"Morphisec Guard enables us to see at a glance whether our users have device control and disk encryption enabled properly. This is important because we are a global company operating with multiple entities. Previously, we didn't have that visibility. Now, we have visibility so we can pinpoint some locations where there are machines that are not really protected, offline, etc. It gives us visibility, which is good."

"Morphisec makes it super easy for our IT team to prevent breaches of critical systems; it is a one-click install, then it takes care of the rest."

"It also provides full visibility into security events from Microsoft Defender and Morphisec in one dashboard. We've always had that capability with Morphisec. The more recent version appears to do that even a little bit more natively and it's given us visibility that we didn't have otherwise."

"The fact that Morphisec uses deterministic attack prevention that does not require human intervention has affected our security team's operations by making things much simpler. We don't have to really track down various alerts anymore, they've just stopped. At that point, we can go in and we can clean up whatever needs to be cleaned up. There are some things that Morphisec detects that we can't really remove, it's parts of Internet Explorer, but it's being blocked anyway. So we're happy with that."

"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."

"The ability to stop attacks without having to detect or have a signature for the attack is the most valuable feature."

More Morphisec pros

"By every measure, the FireEye Network Threat Prevention Platform has exceeded our expectations."

"The most valuable feature is the network security module."

"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."

"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."

"After all of our testing was conducted we felt confident that this was the right approach to safeguard the bank from advanced malware, zero-day and targeted attacks."

"The server appliance is good."

"For our customers, it added a layer of inspection that might be missed by traditional IPS or antivirus products, and that is the capability of catching new malware that might not have been identified or seen in the wild before."

"The real-time alerts from Trellix Network Detection and Response reduced our average incident detection time from several hours to under thirty minutes, allowing the team to contain threats much faster."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response pros

Cons

"The only area that really needs improvement is the reporting functionality. Gathering the detailed information that is in the system for an executive, or for me as a director, could be better. Some of the interface and reporting aspects are a little bit dated. They're working on it."

"Those are some of the features that I was looking for on my on-prem platform that they've already instituted in the cloud and that I'm sure will be instituting on their on-prem platform as well. Having to have an on-prem server required a lot of administration. Being able to push that to the cloud and have it managed up there for us is a real nice addition."

"Morphisec is a venture startup. They are still early in their growth stage. They need to get mature on their customer support and on how they interface with system tools. For example, they need to get multifactor in place and an API for the major multi-factor systems, e.g., Okta, Duo, Ping, and Microsoft. They don't have them built in yet. They are working on them. It is just not there yet. Also, their stability, customer support, and processes need improvement, which is just part of maturity."

"We have discovered some bugs in the new releases that they've had to fix, so I would like to see more testing and QA on their side before they release."

"I haven't seen ROI because I haven't seen a threat that it has protected against, exactly."

"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."

"I haven't been able to get the cloud deployment to work."

"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."

More Morphisec cons

"Improvement-wise, the initial setup, fine-tuning, and learning can take effort."

"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment."

"I would like to see in Trellix Network Detection and Response more explanation about some details of the threat, and I wish it had more actions that you can take to contain the host or move it somewhere else."

"Trellix Network Detection and Response cannot be operated without customer support, especially during the first year and a half of use."

"It is not a very secure product."

"To improve Trellix Network Detection and Response, I suggest enhancing reporting customization; the reports can be much better, and I should have the ability to customize them much more freely."

"The support from FireEye Network Security is not very good."

"Stability is fine as long as we don't go deeper into the system. Once we go deeper into the SSM, inspection, and decryption, we get some issues."

More Trellix Network Detection and Response cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Our licensing is tied into our contract. Because we have a long-term contract, our pricing is a little bit lower. It is per year, so we don't get charged per endpoint, but we do have a cap. Our cap is 80 endpoints. If we were to go over 80, when we renewed our contract, which is not until three years are over. Then, they would reevaluate, and say, "Well, you have more than 80 devices active right now. This is going to be the price change." They know that we are installing and replacing computers, so the numbers will be all over the place depending on whether you archive or don't archive, which is the reason why we just have to keep up on that stuff."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The pricing is definitely fair for what it does."

More Morphisec pricing and cost advice

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

"It's an expensive solution."

"The pricing is a little high."

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

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

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

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

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