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

"The server appliance is good."
"I would definitely recommend this product because I have seen many cases where other solutions were not able to catch malware, but FireEye raised a red flag."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"The best features that Trellix Network Detection and Response offers are visibility, threat detection, and immediate response, which allows us to take action almost instantly while keeping proof through proper data capture and maintaining logs for future analysis to prevent attacks and ensure that we have the right policies and controls."
"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."
"For our customers, it added a layer of inspection that might be missed by traditional IPS or antivirus products, and that is the capability of catching new malware that might not have been identified or seen in the wild before."
"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."
"By every measure, the FireEye Network Threat Prevention Platform has exceeded our expectations."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"The pricing is not reasonable. The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"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."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"Technical support needs improvement as sometimes engineers are not available promptly, especially during high-severity incidents."
"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."
"The customer service is not that good."
"The technical support needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"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."
"The pricing is a little high."
"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 tool is a bit pricey."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little 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 solution is overly priced."
