Featured Reviews

Mohamed Tantawy - PeerSpot reviewer
Can track every admin action in large environments and includes AI modules to detect and prevent unauthorized changes
The initial setup of Netwrix Auditor was straightforward. Some functions require agents while others are agentless, simplifying implementation. It consumed minimal server and client resources, and the wizard-based console made it simple to deploy with the help of architectural teams. All required ports were in place, and they covered all critical services and databases effectively. I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a nine out of ten. The deployment of Netwrix Auditor took around three weeks, mainly due to the preparation of the environment and servers. The deployment process involved actions such as preparing virtual servers and building databases. Once deployed, it took only about a week to complete. Third-party consultants assisted us with deployment. Only one or two engineers were needed for deployment and maintenance, which could be handled remotely with minimal complexity.
BiswabhanuPanda - PeerSpot reviewer
You can use it for everything, incident response, automated responses, alerts, visibility
I would give the product an overall rating of eight out of 10. We have 10 people currently using this software. Six are on the list, plus two managers and two IR experts. It's not possible for just one person to maintain the solution, and it's not really allowed. It has to be a team effort, with two or three people. It's not about users. Helix works differently, collecting logs from 6,000 different sources integrated with the solution. The licensing is not based on users; it's based on APIs. It's more of a SIEM SGL type of platform. It collects logs from around 6,000. But have around 10 people maintaining that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It maintains audit logs for the duration of time that you wish, as long as you have the storage capacity to do so."
"I have found user behavior analysis and the ability to run risk assessments important features. Additionally, the interface and online documentation are very good."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature and notifications."
"The most valuable features of Netwrix Auditor are its affordability compared to similar products and its comprehensive monitoring of admin activities."
"Netwrix provides features that no other solution on the market does."
"The most valuable feature is the real-time monitoring."
"What I find the most valuable about Netwrix Auditor is the way it shows risk. The reports are very clear."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"We are able to block some advanced malware and other things."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
"It is kind of simple and very easily deployable. You can start working with it very fast."
"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."
"I advise other customers to choose Trellix Helix, as it improves operations significantly with more efficient responses required for various scenarios they face."
"We have started working with various customers, one of whom is particularly concerned about adjacency. We have identified several use cases where automation is possible."
 

Cons

"When there are issues I would like remediation to be in one place."
"An improvement would be if there was an another way to manage the logs besides email because it's not so practical."
"The Linux compatibility of this solution could be improved."
"There is room for improvement with the introduction of AI functionality."
"There is room for improvements when it comes to the licensing."
"I expect usability features to become more refined over time. I'm interested to see how it evolves and continues to improve."
"If you buy direct, there is a minimum of 150 licenses that must be procured. The price point and barrier of entry is a little bit higher than it would be if you purchased the solution from an authorized reseller partner, rather than buying it and managing yourself."
"The solution lacks self-service on password reset. It also needs to improve its scalability."
"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."
"We often rely on Martins to create logs and provide professional threat services rather than basic support."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"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."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is fair."
"This solution is reasonably priced. I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"There is a license for this solution and we are on an annual license. The price is reasonable."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
"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."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
