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

"FireEye has placed us in the position to proactively counter malicious threats; we now don’t have to take a user offline in order to rebuild their PC following an attack."
"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."
"Once we had a chance to do our own due diligence, it was clear that there is really nothing else that compares with the FireEye appliance."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"It is a good product to implement, especially where the existing technology fails to detect zero day attacks."
"There are sandbox capabilities; you can submit malicious files and get great feedback, including if there is malware and what it is doing, and it can give you simulations in different operating systems and applications to provide real insights from the perspective of a real environment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how it allows users to do the investigation part. Another important part of the product that is valuable is associated with how it gives information to users in the form of a storyline."
"We have seen several positive impacts since implementing Trellix Network Detection and Response, particularly in the areas of threat detection, intelligence, response, and operational efficiency."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Trellix Network Detection and Response is stable but occasionally encounters performance issues, which we can fix quickly."
"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."
"The support from FireEye Network Security is not very good."
"There is a lot of room for Improvement in the offering, from cost to functionality. It is pretty straightforward to implement which is an advantage. However, it falls short in pricing, detection capabilities, and, most importantly, reporting and policy management."
"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."
"Certain features in Trellix Network Detection and Response, such as using AL-type commands, may initially pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with such commands. However, once users become accustomed to the system, it becomes easier to use."
"FireEye’s main feature is its sandboxing or threat emulation capabilities to detect malware with extra add-ons such as signature-based IPS or endpoint protection, but these features are lacking compared to most IPS or endpoint vendors."
"They can maybe consider supporting some compliance standards. When we are configuring rules and policies, it can guide whether they are compliant with a particular compliance authority. In addition, if I have configured some rules that have not been used, it should give a report saying that these rules have not been used in the last three months or six months so that I disable or delete those rules."
"The technical support needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"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."
"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 pricing is a little high."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"The solution is overly priced."
