We performed a comparison between Trellix Intrusion Prevention System and Vectra AI 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."The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."
"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."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"Overall the solution is very good. It offers great protection and gives us a good overview of what is on the network."
"The feature I found most valuable is the network threat analyzer in the security platform. It also integrates with GTI, or Global Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I just use the basic features."
"The solution can scale."
"Great monitoring feature."
"The fact that we get the visualization of what's happening on our network, which is a way of improving our security in-depth is most valuable."
"It's important for us that the user interface is easy to understand and that is the biggest benefit we see from Vectra AI."
"It provides various dashboards that facilitate the identification of connections and can detect data exfiltration, meaning data sent from your environment to another."
"The biggest feature for us, because we are heavy Microsoft users, is its integration with Office 365. On top of Vectra AI, we use all of the Microsoft security platforms, such as Defender ATP and Sentinel. Having full integration and a central platform to look at all of the threats that are coming through from the different platforms is a huge benefit for us."
"The solution is currently used as a central threat detection and response system."
"Cognito Streams gives you a detailed view of what happens in the network in the form of rich metadata. It is just a super easy way to capture network traffic for important protocols, giving us an advantage. This is very helpful on a day-to-day basis."
"Vectra is very compatible with various cloud providers, such as Amazon and Azure AD. This is helpful as customers often migrate their network infrastructure to the cloud."
"One of the most valuable features is all the correlation that it does using AI and machine learning. An example would be alerting on a host and then alerting on other things, like abnormal behavior, that it has noticed coming from the same host. It's valuable because we're a very lean team."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The management console needs to be less complex and easier to navigate."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
"The management component could be simplified."
"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."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"It would be commercially beneficial if Vectra AI had something like Darktrace's Antigena Email or something similar to email protection."
"There is room for improvement in the documentation. We would like to have more details on how it detects what we see."
"Some of their integrations with other sources of data, like external threat feeds, took a bit more work than I had hoped to get integrated."
"Other alternatives, like Darktrace, have a fancier UI."
"I think Vectra AI's automation, reporting, and integration could be improved."
"I would like to see a bit more strategic metrics instead of technical data. Information that I could show to my executive management team or board would be valuable."
"We are using SMB 3.0, which is an encrypted protocol. When we get some alerts or something, we cannot go deep into the protocol to see what's wrong because it's encrypted. We need to decrypt the protocol in another way, which is quite difficult. We might go back to SMB 2.0 just for this reason, but that's not a good solution."
"ExtraHop has better features that seem more advantageous when compared to Vectra."
