I have used Palo Alto and Fortinet solutions.

I have not worked with other solutions before Trellix Network Detection and Response.

We did not previously use a different solution. 

Previously, we have not used another solution, because it's a compliment to TruePoint Securities.

The CheckPoint product is very strong, but we have found that some cases on CheckPoint lessons are not on the list.

I compared this product with something like MD, for example, Forcepoint.

It's about how you are using the solution. If you don't have a Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall proxy you shouldn't go for MD. You should go for FireEye.If you need to use MD, you need to have the other solution as well. It's not working as a standalone. It feeds from other solutions.

We also use the same capabilities that come in other products such as Palo Alto (wildfire) or CheckPoint (threat prevention). I don't think there is much difference in the capabilities between either of the products.

It wasn't a case where we switched from another solution because we had been a long time customer. It wasn't a case of switching, as the company that I work for is a very mature organization with a staff of over 100 in information security with most of them as dedicated encryption service analysts.

Malicious actors have begun to identify when their code is being run in a simulator and are placing weights in their code so some of their malicious triggers don't take place immediately. This makes it more difficult to detect. An improvement that we would like to see is that the vendor continue to escalate their techniques and methods to match those that we are seeing as emerging threats.

We are also resellers for Palo Alto. 

I was not using anything previously.

We were using an IBM product.

No previous solution was used.

Our clients have used almost all of the best solutions available but most of them were unable to detect about 90% of the threats that FireEye NX can detect.

Different IPS and end point products were used. FireEye has a different concept for the handling of ATP and malware with a virtual machine which resides in their box.

We are currently also using Symantec.
