Trellix Helix (formerly FireEye Helix) is a SIEM solution providing a non-malware threat detection solution.
We use it because when a user sees the suspicious activity on his account, Microsoft Sentinel gives alerts to the user's system and the admin system as well. When a user of one of our systems clicked a spam email, that email was trying to install a virus on our server, but Microsoft Sentinel gave an alert to the user and admin both, so that is why our team was able to fix that issue with Microsoft Sentinel very fast. However, it will not be the best option for you if your team is utilizing every feature but you are on a tight budget.
Overall, we've had a great experience with FireEye Helix and would recommend it to organizations looking to improve their operational security. We've found Helix to be a great way to collect and analyze revenant security events and take action. Having a single pane of glass makes this process much more efficient. Prior to moving to FireEye Helix, we had different teams sending data to different applications, which resulted in confusion and critical data being missed.
It is a good tool for threat detection and analysis of the threats. We are using this tool for real time threat detection on our employee machines as well as some servers.
It provides various options for collecting data sources by leveraging multiple sources using data connectors. This helps us in gathering data from multiple sources such as our servers as well as our employee machines.
One good thing about this tool is automated incident response thereby increasing the security of servers.
It takes some time to learn how to use and install it properly, and it does not connect effectively with external PaaS systems such as Salesforce CRM, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and so on.
Microsoft can simplify the display of the logs to make them easier to study, and the user interface occasionally delays, which can also be enhanced.
The Microsoft Azure Sentinel solution is very good and even better if you use Azure. It's easy to implement and learn how to use the tool with an intuitive and simple interface. New updates are happening to always bring new news and improve the experience and usability. The solution brings reliability as it is from a very reliable manufacturer.
Microsoft Sentinel excels in cloud-native scalability, Microsoft ecosystem integration, and AI-driven threat detection with UEBA and Fusion rules, offering faster deployment and lower costs (48% cheaper per Forrester) than Splunk, QRadar, Exabeam, SentinelOne, Securonix, and Wazuh. It lags in third-party integrations and syslog parsing. Organizations choose Microsoft Sentinel for its cost-effectiveness, automation, and Microsoft synergy, especially in Azure-heavy environments, though Splunk and Exabeam lead in flexibility and UEBA, respectively.
It offers extensive visibility thus easy detection of threats and easy mitigation practices. Utilization of its threats intelligence capabilities thus early detection of incidents and maximization of security investments. Offers great integration of cloud resources with existing security tools thus ensuring seamless performance and all-time security for the organizational resources.
As any cybersecurity product, this has to be more with risk to avoid loss in case of a ransomware that more than relate to a productivity increase. Maybe the impact could be that instead of having people that are checking 24/7 the dashboard, you could implement Sentinel and have less people checking that or people with less expertise. So the saving will be a minor but will be a saving in the cost of your team.
Helix has had a significant impact on CSOC visibility efforts across the organization.
Helix fills the logging and alerting gaps that are missing across the infrastructure side.
Having a single pane of glass allows teams to more efficiently run incidents. Additionally, Helix is integrated with ServiceNow providing enhanced and efficient case management for all Helix alerts.
