We performed a comparison between Cisco Sourcefire SNORT and Trellix Intrusion Prevention System based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It simplifies the configuration process by offering pre-defined base configurations, including security and connectivity settings."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility that we have across the virtual environment."
"I like most of Cisco's features, like malware detection and URL filtering."
"The solution is rather easy to use."
"It is quite an intelligent product."
"Cisco Sourcefire SNORT is easy to configure and the reporting is great. It's also very user-friendly."
"The whole solution is very good, and stable."
"The product is inexpensive compared to leading brands such as Palo Alto or Fortinet."
"Great monitoring feature."
"The product is worth the investment."
"The ability to centrally manage all the IPS sensors, track the different security events generated by it, and customize the different policies, depending on their location."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"While the alerts they offer are good, it could improve it in the sense that they should be more detailed to make the alerts more useful to us in general. Sometimes the solution will offer up false positives. Due to the fact that the alerts aren't detailed, we have to go dig around to see why is it being blocked. The solution would be infinitely better if there was just a bit more detail in the alert information and logging we receive."
"I did not experience any pain points that required improvement. Maybe a couple of false-positives, but that's about it."
"I don't think this solution is a time-based control system, because one cannot filter traffic based on time."
"The cloud can be improved."
"The main dashboard of Cisco Sourcefire SNORT could improve."
"The pricing needs to be improved. We have lots of low-budget clients around us. Budget constraints are always a deterrent in our market."
"Integration with other components — even Cisco's own products — can be enhanced to improve administrative experience."
"The initial setup is a little difficult compared to other products in the market. It depends on the environment. If we are doing any migration, it might take months in a brown-field environment."
"There are limited resources for configuration guidance."
"Some of the documentation is not as straightforward as it could be."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We would like to have a simpler version. Some settings and functions on the McAfee console are complex and complicated. I want the management console to be simpler."
"The management console needs to be less complex and easier to navigate."
"The area of concern where the tool needs improvement is how the product prompts users at a network level that helps prevent any wireless network attacks through alerts and notifications."
