A stable and scalable solution that can be used for log management and analytics
Two admins are managing the solution in our organization. Firstly, you need to prioritize the security threats you are looking for. You also need to know the incident response and compliance activities you are looking for. That can help your organization to have a proper ROI. Overall, I rate ArcSight Recon an eight out of ten.

Centralized threat triage has improved endpoint control but still needs better cloud insights
Trellix Helix Connect can definitely be improved, especially regarding cloud and SaaS telemetry gaps. It could enhance its native cloud and SaaS telemetry integration. Additionally, sometimes when we open the details of a file, it lacks meta fields altogether, and we must manually ask the user for the meta fields, such as when the file was created, last opened, last updated, and its hash value. Helix does not perform as expected in this regard. There are also many false positives flagged that should not be, and there is no on-premises option for FireEye Helix. Lastly, the GUI and dashboard feel very old-school and legacy, needing improvement, as all competitors have far superior GUIs and UI/UX interfaces. I would add that we have experienced specific problems with session timeouts where we randomly log out from the system after some time and face issues in logging back in. This required us to contact customer service frequently, which is also not very reliable or prompt.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since ArcSight Recon gives proper log management for us, it helps me with my compliance purposes and any forensic investigation."
"It is kind of simple and very easily deployable, and you can start working with it very fast."
"The best feature of Trellix Helix Connect is its quick implementation."
"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."
"The features that I find most valuable in Trellix Helix Connect are the incident response capabilities, which include EDR and XDR, along with the SoC capabilities added in the new advanced Trellix AI intelligence."
"With FireEye Helix, if a customer already uses any of the FireEye endpoint solutions, the response part is very fast and the investigation is also very fast."
"In general, I can say that Trellix Helix Connect impacted my organization positively."
"As far as its core functionality goes, it’s spot-on."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
 

Cons

"The solution's speed has to be improved because more data analytics makes the application slower."
"Regarding areas for improvement with Trellix Helix, I believe that if the integration with AWS and GCP environments could be improved, that would be beneficial."
"The weak point of Trellix Helix Connect is the data storage capacity; more storage must be purchased as the data grows, which is a disadvantage because the cost increases when more space is needed on the cloud."
"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."
"We often rely on Martins to create logs and provide professional threat services rather than basic support."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"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."
"The most problematic part was the integration part because in their catalog, they have so many third-party vendors, but some of them were not fully supported, so we requested some development and feature requests."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
