Likelihood to Recommend Acalvio shadowplex is a program with the benefit of having a totally innovative new technology for the protection of the network its users, once this program is executed it will manifest an artificial intelligence that will allow it to detect and rule out all threats to my work, I I recommend it for the effectiveness it has given us for a long time.

It’s a dedicated Network Advanced Threat Detection and Prevention solution. Easy maintenance and low operating costs fit perfectly for SMEs. Variety of appliance selection makes NX the perfect choice for large enterprises. As it’s a dedicated solution with its own appliance, price is higher compared to NGTP add on solutions. FireEye is an ecosystem therefore when you’ve the EX or HX vice versa, you should be looking to NX. Otherwise, you’re missing the threat intel exchange on the network side reverse is the true. Sizing is important before the purchase, if you select a low end model for a busy network you lose your initial investment. For multiple NX deployments I highly recommend CMS. Without CMS you’ll lose the threat intel exchange and this will negatively reduce the risk scores.
Read full review Pros One of the best things that I like about acalvio shadowplex is the most innovative solutions that it offers to have in our possession, there are few programs of this style that are capable of offering fully automated security. This program increases the credibility of our work, this software protects one hundred percent of our most important information and the assets of my work and is not affected by any kind of virus on the web.

Advanced detection of targeted attacks. Mandiant team effort is a big plus. Inline mitigation capabilities particularly well. Different deployment models for specific needs. License and information sharing selection 1 way or 2 way mode. Frequent updates. Low false positive rates. FireEye sandboxing is immune to sandboxing attacks. Central management (CMS) capabilities for managing several NX's. Extra IPS/IDS functionality in the product. Smartvision specific to lateral movement detection. Upgrades and updates with zero down time. Local FireEye support is superb. Multiple deployment scenarios (span, inline) in the same NX for different interface pairs. SSL inspection support. No need to maintain, build or updates the images. It's highly automatic. Read full review Cons One of the negative points that we have found in this program is, by far, its cost and payment plans that it offers to each of its new users, the truth is that the rate seems somewhat high to us. It should be mentioned that the weight and size of this program can be very high, this is a problem because it compromises the space on my system and with other equally important programs.

Very first detected APT sample can pass the NX even it's inline blocking mode. Performance optimization for busy networks is cumbersome. CMS does not provide all the management capabilities, CLI or local config. Should be done for advanced customization. Constant limitations of tcpdump/ packet capture for 10G interfaces. IPS functionality is a bit cumbersome, not a full feature IPS, lack of signatures and customization of IPS signatures. It's not a full NDR solution or a UBA solution. Lack of device or user mapping. Forensics is based on the specific APT. May not provide the whole story and need some additional tools. You cannot make manual submission to NX (needs AX). You cannot access the kernel directly for deep analy[sis] or troubleshooting (assist from FireEye Support should be taken). Read full review Alternatives Considered Trellix (FireEye + McAfee)
FireEye NX is a solid product. It gives you sustainable security throughout the organization. NX detection engines are more capable compared to others. Its catch rate is higher, FP rate is lower, [and] speed is awesome. NX can work for highly regulated environments with 1 way solution. Operation costs are much lower. Software quality is very good. It may have bugs, but these bugs do not compromise the security in general. SOC team loves the FireEye NX for its pinpoint detection capabilities. Local and partner support is exceptional.
Read full review Return on Investment This program was designed to provide multiple autonomous solutions to each of its users immediately, in our case we are satisfied with the security that this program provides us every time we work. We have the knowledge of working at least with different programs with the same shadowplex acalvio function, but none has been as effective as this one, since the level of technology allows it to be much more effective in ruling out any type of threat.

As [a] financial company on the digital markets, we need to be safeguard for 0days and targeted attacks. FireEye NX provides the best updated protection with its enhanced capabilities. Security score based on detection/prevention metrics [is] very high ensuring the highest level of security. APTs in our region successfully detected and mitigated by the NX. For the ROI, in a six month period FireEye is paying off its [investment]. One negative thing, especially with increasing network bandwidths, [is that] you need to make [the] investment every two or three years.
