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

"Their integrations are pretty good as are their Sandbox solutions, their proxies, and their LTAs with API or ICAP protocols."
"It has certainly helped out our audit efforts because we each stay compliant in terms of various security standards."
"All of the solution's features are quite valuable for us, and we especially like the threat protection it provides."
"You don't have to buy a separate email security platform. You can enable that using their endpoint, and I like that. You don't have to have two agents running on the same box."
"Endpoint to network is a good feature, it can protect the line."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection provides end-to-end protection. Along with antivirus protection, it has a lot of key areas, including intrusive prevention, firewall features, and application and device control."
"The Application Control code and the easy integration are valuable features."
"They have a very simple and easy implementation; they have been around for a long time, and they have been very easy to deploy, support, and manage."
"Both for our clients and for ourselves, ROI was almost 200% more than we expected."
"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."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response offers excellent diversity and support for different capabilities because it is built and composed of different services."
"FireEye is so effective at blocking attacks that we were even able to defer an upgrade of our IPS solution, saving a significant amount of money."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The installation phase was easy."
"Anyone who is looking for a complete network protection solution and does not have any budget issues should definitely go for it."
 

Cons

"An improvement could be made on the reporting because then it would be easier to collect information and submit it for compliance."
"They could enhance the solution to work across all devices, including Android, iOS, and Mac, and make it more user-friendly."
"There are limits with respect to blocking files by hash value or blocking IP addresses, and these limits should be removed."
"There are some ‎features that would add value to this product. One of them would be a graphical presentation of threats that the system has encountered."
"It also needs network-based threat protection for shared folders and files."
"The support team that Symantec offers didn't know how to solve issues even though they referred to themselves as "engineers"."
"It's a strange situation where the infrastructure of the consumer or customer is behind some kind of firewall and they have always used some kind of customized proxy. In this situation, the ATP has a very tough time to pass the information to the cloud and back. To fix, it requires a more elaborate and complex configuration for that particular case."
"One area for improvement could be the pricing model."
"The customer service is not that good."
"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."
"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."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"I believe Trellix Network Detection and Response can be improved by integrating machine learning into its detection response capabilities."
"A lot of false positives."
"Without tuning, you may get many false positives."
"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Symantec Advanced Threat Protection's pricing is comparable."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection has an average price."
"The pricing of this solution is inexpensive and affordable."
"Pricing is good. It is nice to have a great product at a fair price."
"The price is quite expensive."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our mean time in being able to identify and detect malicious threats. The company that I work with is a very mature organization, and we have seen the meantime to analysis decrease by at least tenfold."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"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 pricing is a little high."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
