Room For Improvement

Trellix needs better reporting, integrations, UI, user support, and alert management to enhance threat detection and response.
Zabbix users face issues with false positives, complex setup, limited reporting, high pricing, and desire better cloud integration.
There should be improvements in AI intelligence, faster decision-making, and a more responsive technical support team.
Information Security Engineer at Nhq Distribution Ltd
It would be best if Trellix Network Detection and Response sensors were converted into a next-generation firewall with built-in capabilities for routing, switching, and Layer 7 functionality, as most next-generation firewalls today include these features.

Regarding needed improvements for Trellix Network Detection and Response, there is always room for enhancement in terms of AI capability to include proactive triggers based on historical data, enabling AI to learn patterns and detect threats before they manifest.
Presales Manager
The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best.
CTO at Oic

The potential and customization is a little difficult because you have to learn scripts.
Network Engineer at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

Trellix Network Detection pricing is high but justified; straightforward licensing, pricey maintenance, and competitive with Cisco or Palo Alto.
Zabbix offers cost-effective open-source monitoring, recommending investment in support for optimal performance, keeping costs below alternatives like Nagios.
Trellix Network Detection and Response is an enterprise-grade security solution, so it represents a significant investment, but we believe that the value it provides in terms of threat detection, network visibility, and incident response justifies the cost.
Business development executive at Digitaltrack solution Pvt Ltd
The pricing model is not transparent, as they do not provide pricing ranges upfront, complicating the evaluation of costs across regions.
CyberSecurity Architect at a comms service provider with 51-200 employees
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Trellix Network Detection and Response is that they are very good and affordable for the customer range.
Network & Security Lead at Net-International
Zabbix is providing everything free of cost.
Network Engineer at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
It is literally free.

Valuable Features

Trellix Network Detection and Response enhances security with real-time threat detection, swift incident response, and seamless tool integration.
Zabbix is valued for its ease, scalability, customization, and robust monitoring capabilities, supported by continual updates and community support.
Per day we used to have 70 to 80 alerts and those could be reduced up to 40 to 30 a day. This is almost a 40 to 50% decrease.
Associate Cybersecurity Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.
Network & Security Lead at Net-International
Visibility is very important as it empowers users to understand what is happening; therefore, detection is one of the strongest features of Trellix Network Detection and Response.

Featured Reviews

Twinkle Solanki - PeerSpot reviewer
Business development executive at Digitaltrack solution Pvt Ltd
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.
KamranBhatti - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Engineer at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
Helps reduce response time but has room to improve customization complexity
We are not working on simple standalone solutions like Kaspersky DDoS Protection or Hybrid Cloud Security. Once you understand Zabbix, then it is easy to customize those web pages and graphs for our customer use. It is fully automated to your requirements. Zabbix is working fine with no issues, and I am satisfied with it. We have combined Zabbix and SolarWinds. The integration works fine, and it is easy to integrate Zabbix with the IT environment. We were trying to purchase MDR (Managed Detection and Response), but we are not working on that. I don't have real experience with MDR. We are using Falcon software for that. We are working with Falcon Complete, not with Sandbox. We are not using Kaspersky for business or cloud protection. For that, we are using Zabbix CrowdStrike Falcon Complete solution. I have given this review an overall rating of 8.

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…
