SimonClark - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Advisor - Director at Fort Net UK
Able to discover unpatched servers, offers good stability, and scales very well
A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful. This could be useful for insurance companies offering cyber insurance to enterprise customers, providing the insurer with a valuable way to unobtrusively, quickly, and frequently assess their customers and apply appropriate premiums for the level of risk. This would also be useful for enterprises. They could, for example, assess companies prior to a merger or acquisition. What would also be useful for any enterprise would be if their supply chain has some kind of direct digital access to parts of their network.

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

"Attack Surface Management provided our customers with visibility on everything in their network and domains - anything publicly-facing on the internet - and shows where they have potential vulnerabilities."
"The solution is stable with 12 years of established historical data."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response definitely helps make investigations faster and more efficient."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"If we are receiving spam emails, or other types of malicious email coming from a particular email ID, then we are able to block them using this solution."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response is a great tool that integrates with a lot of security tools such as Palo Alto, which is a good firewall, and if you have these types of tools, your organization would benefit greatly."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email, using virtual machines to test the behavior of the files and determine whether they are malicious in nature, blocking any abnormal activity and recording the hash value to submit to the cloud and add to the blacklist."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the time to detect as we also were experimenting with the automation systems."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
 

Cons

"A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful."
"The product scales from small to enormous, however, the pricing is not suitable for very small companies."
"It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response cannot be operated without customer support, especially during the first year and a half of use."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"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."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"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."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning."
"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little high."
"It's an expensive solution."
"There are some additional services that I understand the vendor provides, but our approach was to package all of the features that we were looking to use into the product."

"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
