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."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"Trellix Helix Connect is the overall complete cybersecurity solution, covering all aspects in one package, which is why I prefer it for cybersecurity."
"The product offers very strong automation. Our cyber security analysts don't have to correlate the information to detect problems. They only need to analyze problems that have been identified by the platform."
"The best feature of Trellix Helix Connect is its quick implementation."
"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."
"I advise other customers to choose Trellix Helix, as it improves operations significantly with more efficient responses required for various scenarios they face."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"The pre-built rules and analytics save us a lot of time and have positively impacted my team's workflow because whenever we migrate to a new tool, we basically have to sit for months to form the rules and alerts."
 

Cons

"The solution's speed has to be improved because more data analytics makes the application slower."
"There are some issues such as high CPU utilization that we have experienced in the past whenever we were using Trellix Endpoint Security in the cloud system, which prevented anyone from working properly."
"I think the usability of hyperautomation is something to improve in the solution because it is expensive regarding the needed improvements."
"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."
"The support would rate a three out of ten. It can take one to four weeks to connect with someone who truly understands Helix and can provide solutions."
"Sometimes the rules are disabled by FireEye, and we basically get it after the patch. I think there needs to be a better way of creating the application rules. I would like to see better pricing for our licensing."
"We often rely on Martins to create logs and provide professional threat services rather than basic support."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
