Good support, straightforward deployment, and helpful for instant response to threats and incidents
Pros and Cons
  • "The response part of EDR was most valuable. We used that to separate the endpoint from the network. We utilized the solution during the instant response. We were also utilizing advanced malware detection capabilities, but we benefited the most from its help with the response."
  • "In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us."

What is our primary use case?

I used it in my previous company. From an end-user perspective, I was the manager of the Cyber Defense Center that was in charge of the whole deployment and daily operations. I was using it as a Site Media Operations Manager.

What is most valuable?

The response part of EDR was most valuable. We used that to separate the endpoint from the network. We utilized the solution during the instant response. We were also utilizing advanced malware detection capabilities, but we benefited the most from its help with the response.

What needs improvement?

In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us.

For how long have I used the solution?

I used it for one year. 

How are customer service and support?

I have no complaints. I would rate them a five out of five.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

It was a new deployment. We previously didn't have any similar solution in that company.

How was the initial setup?

It was pretty straightforward. Its deployment took half a month. It was quite a big deployment. We had quite a lot of end-user devices. We deployed it for 10,000 devices. We had around 20 security operations staff members at that time.

What about the implementation team?

It was driven by an in-house engineering team, but we leveraged some integrator companies as well. We had three members in the engineering team who took care of the deployment and everyday operations. During the deployment phase, we got help from integrators. So, we had two additional FTEs during the six-month implementation period.

What was our ROI?

In terms of ROI, if one is the best, I would rate it a two out of five. We had some false positive detections. We even had some incidents that were not detected. We did not get the expected level of visibility through FireEye.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

It was a very hard decision to make. We did a comparison with some other competitor products. One of them was Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR, which was the biggest competitor at that time. We even checked Microsoft ATP and McAfee. So, we compared a couple of products before selecting FireEye.

What other advice do I have?

Organizations trying to or going for the FireEye solution should understand that they won't be able to see under the hood or what is happening within the product. FireEye is quite a black box solution. Understanding why certain findings got a particular verdict is not easy. If you want well-automated operations and you don't have an advanced operations team that wants to check the verdicts and understand how the product is working and making decisions, then it is good for you. If you have proper engineering skills on board and your operations teams want to understand the basic logic within the product that they are using on a daily basis, this might not be the best product for you.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    How was the initial setup?

    It's not a difficult solution to set up. It's pretty straightforward and simple.

    What about the implementation team?

    We worked with external consultants. I don't know exactly what the scope was, however.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We did not evaluate any other EDR products before choosing FireEye. 

    What other advice do I have?

    We are just customers and end-users of the product. We don't have a special business relationship with the company. 

    I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. I don't know the version number off-hand. 

    I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

    I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

    A comprehensive solution that comes with a lot of protection features and does its job
    Pros and Cons
    • "The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
    • "They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."

    What is most valuable?

    The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features.

    It is just there in the background and does its job. Every once in a while, it reminds me that it is doing its job.

    What needs improvement?

    They can make it free, but that's not going to happen.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using this solution for about a year. It seems to be the current version.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    So far I have no issues. It is very stable, and does not tale a lot of CPU or memory resources, which was a problem in older products.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I am using it on a personal computer, so scalability is not an issue.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    I have not used their support.

    How was the initial setup?

    Its setup is very easy and straightforward.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    Its price is reasonable. Setup was easy.

    What other advice do I have?

    Easy to use, stable, and not heavy on system resources
    Pros and Cons
    • "FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
    • "Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."

    What is our primary use case?

    We are using this solution for endpoint security against cyber attacks.

    What is most valuable?

    FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others.

    What needs improvement?

    Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using FireEye Endpoint Security for a couple of months.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    This solution is scalable. However, it could improve to be able to be handle large-scale operations. The OS most systems are running I am not sure it can handle a lot of nodes but many companies are coming out with cloud options that should be able to manage much more nodes.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    Technical support can take some time to respond on the first level. They could improve the speed at which they resolve and handle support.

    What about the implementation team?

    We have an administrator and engineer that does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I have evaluated Carbon Black and FortiEDR.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would not recommend this solution to others. However, if you have a small budget then this solution could be a second option.

    I rate FireEye Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    How was the initial setup?

    We purchased the enterprise edition.

    The payment part is handled from the management side. We don't do anything regarding payment. Therefore, I can't speak to exact pricing.

    I'd recommend the product to other users and companies.
