Highlights
We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network. We can stop it before we have a bigger mess to clean up.
Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser.
Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening.
The scalability has not been a problem. We have deployed the product in very high bandwidth networks. We have never had a problem with the FireEye product causing latency issues within our networks.
It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic. We can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us.
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.
The most valuable feature is the view into the application.
