Reliable and good support but can be expensive
I have no real complaints about the solution. Threat detection could be better. They need to enhance their threat intelligence feeds. We would like to have more IOCs or more trade intelligence to not only rely on the intelligence of the engineer in charge but to have some threat intelligence and some seeds of IOCs and to have the host have some artificial intelligence to reduce the number of false positives. I don't see this solution being very scalable. The solution is pricey.

Cross-site threat hunting has improved visibility and supports proactive incident response
I believe this is a product in evolution. I do not think it is a final tool to conduct forensics or information forensics of the incidents or information incidents that could arise in our network infrastructure. Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is interesting and is a very good entry point that has been evolving through the last years. In the next two months, I have a new contract, and we are pointing out to have an XDR solution with NDR and EDR together. I do not have enough time to do it because I am the manager. However, my coworkers do not understand it yet. I have a contract with a third-party company that is making reports around that, but also they do not have enough experience or enough utility of this. It would be interesting if I have a notification system from EDR. For example, if I am the manager, it would be interesting to have a warning, alarm, or something around that which could call me to get into the system and the dashboard to see what is happening. For example, if it is a high-level threat. However, most of them are just advisory or warnings. I do not enter the tool frequently. I guess I access it once every three months.
