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.

Protects from attack software and hacking but it doesn't provide the reports in a readable format
In my opinion, image clarity is very important, because I don't get the proper image product on reports. This means that functionality is not there. My engineer does not know how he can replace an order. We attach a log after any kind of keys using a utility instead. For the internet policies that we are implementing, the policy should be based on proper protocols. We use the default policies and there are a number of third-party protocols that appear here. Management with WatchGuard XTM means that out of policy is the problem from our side. In this way, we can not do effective services for people with this one. The policy definition with WatchGuard XTM is not proper for all use case requirements. I've got weekly business reports that I am expecting attachments with from WatchGuard XTM that display data for all kinds of consideration which should be required. Main User Functionality Level Order must adhere to using the admin functionality on the registry, or else our users publish their own name. Maybe these recommendations are irrelevant, but I say that the issue to improve most with WatchGuard XTM is the Main User Function.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."

"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our meantime in being able to identify and detect malicious threats."
"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."
"After all of our testing was conducted we felt confident that this was the right approach to safeguard the bank from advanced malware, zero-day and targeted attacks."
"The server appliance is good."
"The simplified Alert Dashboard is straightforward to navigate."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"This product has helped in securing my SQL database and web applications from DDoS attacks and SQL injections, improved my network speed, and helped me to set specific policies for specific applications which I couldn't do with other products."
"Simply, give this tool a try; it will generate great benefits in terms of the scalability and environment."
"I would recommend this product, as it is a very flexible one with probably the most intuitive configuration."
"We use WatchGuard XTM as a privileged access management solution; I complained about another unstable product and we switched to WatchGuard, which has been good."
"Today, however, with the 11.9.4 version, our environment is very stable."
"A WatchGuard creates new ways to secure your network."
"Flawless. I have had my firebox for 3 years now and never had an issue with it."
"It's a solid firewall option with new and useful features typically being added with each new firmware release."
 

Cons

"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."
"The analytics could be better. It seems heavily influenced by the McAfee and FireEye integration, and that integration still isn't seamless."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response cannot be operated without customer support, especially during the first year and a half of use."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response is a powerful tool with areas that need improvement, such as dashboard customization options and reporting flexibility."
"The support from FireEye Network Security is not very good."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"The support is poor and lazy."
"The initial setup is neither simple nor complex. If you know the base in networking and how the firewall works, you will be able to figure it out.​"
"The web interface is easy to use but it looks complicated and could be simplified."
"Our device was not functioning properly, so we returned the product and as a result, our business was down for two days."
"It's a fine product, but some features like the max bandwidth don't work well. Also, the VPN errors are not helpful when troubleshooting."
"Wireless throughput needs to be improved."
"Now, you need to replace the appliance."
"Initially WatchGuard assured us regarding endpoint security, but we are not sure that the product provides endpoint security features to its full extent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
"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."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
"It costs less than the SO works and others (like SonicWall, Cisco, and Barracuda) without increasing so much CPU use."
"Like all other manufacturers, there are a lot of features and different pricing. The best is to talk to a representative.​"
"Get at least a maintenance contract for the updates and take a larger WatchGuard than you need. A WatchGuard creates new ways to secure your network."
"The licensing and renewal is very expensive."
