    FireMon
    FireMon is best used in a large environment (for example, I have >100
    firewalls in my environment). It's best used when trying to improve
    security posture and showing changes in firewall security over time. It
    might not be the best choice for smaller environments or those that aren't concerned about security management.

    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.

    Cons
    FireMon
    • Some features could be added to the existing functionality which include NAT rules usage
    • Rule expiration normalization from firewalls rather than entering them in rule documentation
    • .csv exports of the files from the firewall pane only gives usage for 30 days by default and that should be increased

    • 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).

    The shell is locked out and we can't run any general centos commands. The implementation and maintainence of the arch is very complex. Even with the right identifiers on log messages the log collection keeps failing. The warning messages on the device are ambiguous. The log messages on firemon are a bit confusing and don't show the exact issue.

    Reliability and Availability
    FireMon
    FireMon has been relatively stable overall. However, there have been a handful of times where we had issues with the console. For example, we couldn't update which devices to include in a security assessment. The initial suggestion from support was to just reboot it. It seems like there weren't many other options available such as to restart services before going to the extreme of a complete reboot.

    Performance
    FireMon
    I'm not sure we have the largest implementation of FireMon out there but we do have a few 1000 devices being probed by FireMon. Overall, the system's performance has been rock solid. The console refreshes quickly and reports are generated within an expected timeframe.

    FireMon technical support is awesome! They respond quickly to our requests and they are well trained and very knowledgeable about the tool. Some issues have to be referred to the development team, but technical support largely provides solutions for any issues that we may have.

    FireMon
    I has worked with AlgoSec and while they are very similar product, I find the FireMon is easier to understand and get rolling with. While both require some learning, FireMon is by far the easier one. Once you have an understanding of how things are arranged and labeled you can easily import firewalls and begin to work on them to improve them

    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.

    Scalability
    FireMon
    Firemon Is easily scalable and maintainable with any size team. Although it requires some tech debt, it is well worth the time to invest to ensure compliance is visible and reports are accurate. Although our environment is very large we do not fully utilize the scalability of the Firemon product.
