    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.

    Zabbix is great for monitoring your servers and seeing alerts when the system uses too much CPU or memory. This allowed the system Engineer to be proactive and add resources to these systems to avoid interrupting the services. Especially servers running operations applications and services. This is one of the best usages for Zabbix.

    Pros
    Trellix (Musarubra US LLC)
    • 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.

    Zabbix
    • Collecting hardware data - CPU, Memory, Network, and Disk Metrics are collected and reported on.
    • Flexible design - It is very easy to build out even very large environments via the templating system. You can also start where you are - network monitoring, server monitoring, etc. and then build it out from there as time and resources permit.
    • Provides a "plugin architecture" (via XML templates) to allow end users to extend it to monitor all kinds of equipment, software, or other metrics that are not already added into the software already.
    • Very complete documentation. Almost every aspect of Zabbix has been documented and reported on.
    • Cost - Zabbix is FOSS software and always free. Support is reasonably priced and readily available.

    Cons
    Trellix (Musarubra US LLC)
    • 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).

    Zabbix
    • Creating an alert & its trigger can be made easier.
    • More VM-based data collection counters should be introduced to have better VM monitoring.
    • The raw counters collection agent in every node is relatively weak. It goes down often, which needs more stability.

    It is free. It didn't cost anything to implement (other than my time and the cost incurred for it) and it is filling a badly needed gap in our IT infrastructure. Support is available if we have issues and can be done annually or paid for on a per incident basis as needed. Expansion, updates, and all other future lifecycle activities are likewise free of cost, so as long as someone is able to implement/maintain the software (and the OSS project is maintained) then I imagine the company will never leave it.

    I think every organization, especially the IT department, needs a tool like this. I know of another product like Zabbix that gives a similar or the same solution, but its range makes it very useful. You can see almost all the device info in one place: disk usage, disk space, network usage, etc.

    The setup is the most time-consuming portion of using zabbix. It takes a lot of effort to shape it into a usable format and even then it can get very messy. It's not exactly intuitive and as mentioned the UI seems a bit antiquated. If I was to roll out a monitoring solution from scratch, I'd probably look for alternatives which are easier to use and maintain.

    Zabbix
    We are a mainly Windows environment, so it would be useful if we could have used Active Directory to deploy agents. As of version 4.2, Zabbix has announced a new agent MSI file to allow exactly that. Unfortunately, we didn't have that option. Also, for Linux and MAC deployments, there is no simple way to deploy that. Using remote scripts you may be able to create something, but most places will opt for either SNMP (agentless) or manual installation of agents to add to Zabbix. A way of deploying agents via discovery would go a long way to helping in the adoption of the tool.

    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.

    We're using the Solarwinds suite as our global monitoring standard, but it is very complex and its licensing model makes it difficult to monitor a wide range of technologies. So, we're using Zabbix as a complement on our monitoring process. Zabbix is a way more flexible and has free integrations to a wide range of technologies. It is also more 'user friendly' and easy to manage.

    Return on Investment
    Trellix (Musarubra US LLC)
    • 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.
