Has a good configuration but the price should be more competitive
Our primary use case of this solution is for security.  It's a good solution but the price is high. It also has an easy configuration. The feedback that we get from our customers is that it's a good product. Our customers are mostly smaller enterprises.  The price should be more competitive.  I…

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

"Provides good protection and security."
"The most valuable features of the product are the application filters, application policies, that block certain websites and allow bandwidth for others, those kinds of things."
"SonicWall came out with a new add-on; it was inexpensive to add on to the existing product that we already owned, so we added it."
"I enjoy SonicWall as a package, with a robust firewall solution that protects against zero-day threats, optimizes network traffic for critical applications, and offers easy setup and automation for enterprises as well as small businesses."
"We use it for protection against viruses and ransomware attacks."
"It also has an easy configuration. The feedback that we get from our customers is that it's a good product."
"I would recommend this solution, as a firewall product solution that has a similar sandboxing type of thing has become quite an essential part of a security footprint."
"The stability of the solution is good. We haven't had any breaches or crashes. It's been very stable for us."
"The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization by addressing performance issues, specifically by offloading heavy traffic inspection and SSL inspection through sensors due to the limitations of the firewall."
"We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network. We can stop it before we have a bigger mess to clean up."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response helps increase response to attacks. One benefit is increased visibility and simplicity in maintaining it. AI analyzes and relates data based on past performance over the last five days."
"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."
"We wanted to cross-reference that activity with the network traffic just to be sure there was no lateral movement. With Trellix, we easily confirmed that there was no lateral network involvement and that nothing else was infected. It helped us correlate the events and feel confident in our containment."
"Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats."
 

Cons

"It does fare well against enterprise products."
"SonicWall had a recent layoff. This is a concern for us, because now we are missing the local presence from both the engineering and sales side."
"We would like to get immediate alerts from the alerting system without using third-parties."
"Sometimes customers are not aware of which protection is best for their business and SonicWall doesn't provide them with information on security features."
"I would like to have better documentation before starting with deployment because the deployment is a bit complex."
"I would say the solution needs a much simpler user interface, but the functionality of the firewall is quite extensive. You need the user interface to be that way. However, if there was a way to make the user interface a little easier, that would be great."
"Could provide online training to allow customers to learn more about the product."
"If anything at all, it would be some very minor updates that need to be done, but in terms of changes, nothing comes to mind."
"The support is somewhat lacking with long response times."
"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."
"To improve Trellix Network Detection and Response, I suggest enhancing reporting customization; the reports can be much better, and I should have the ability to customize them much more freely."
"If you want to search the hashes in the environment, you need to put in IOCs one by one, making it a very hectic job."
"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."
"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment."
"Without tuning, you may get many false positives."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We get our value for our money."
"It's thirty dollars per user and we have 30 users."
"When you compare it with other solutions, they are cheaper and more economical."
"The best deal from SonicWall is to buy the HA pair. When you buy the initial one, you receive the second one at a significant discount. If there is an event and something happens to one firewall, then you have the second firewall to roll into. For the price, it's pretty to tough to beat and not a lot of other firewall vendors offer it. You battle for a discount on both. Where with SonicWall, if you buy one, the second one is at half price. It's pretty straightforward."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"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."
"It's an expensive solution."
"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 user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"The pricing is a little high."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
