Has good integration capability and provides information and events but improvement is needed in information retrieval speed
The best features are the comprehensive event collection and analysis. Once set up properly, we receive all events and information. The team analyzes our data and presents incidents to us. We can communicate with their team to escalate and resolve incidents. It has a feature we use to search for information about our environment and past incidents. This is very valuable. The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets.

Daniel Durian - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps to monitor and detect cyberattacks
The tool's effectiveness depends on how you define your log sources. To build visibility of incoming and outgoing traffic, you need logs from perimeter defense, firewalls, web application firewalls, and endpoint protection. With good traffic visibility, incident response time is really quick. Trellix ESM provides situation awareness. On the dashboard, I can see outbound and inbound communications to known threat hosts, IPS/IDS activity, and threat intelligence of the perimeter defense in the firewall. This information helps preempt attacks.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"Trellix ESM utilizes fewer human resources and improves security and visibility."
"The product’s most valuable feature is log monitoring."
"Trellix ESM is very user-friendly."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
"It has performed well and delivered the results that I have been looking for."
"McAfee as a whole is a good solution."
"I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten. The deployment is completed in two days."

More Trellix ESM pros
 

Cons

"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."
"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology. They also improve their correlation engine. In addition to collecting logs from devices, they can collect the traffic and then correlate these logs and the traffic information."
"We would welcome integrations with some of the new McAfee acquisitions, e.g., behavioural analytics."
"I would like to see fingerprint recognition included in the next release of this solution."
"Update to user interface from version 9 is cosmetic in some aspects, and after a few clicks you are back on the old interface."
"McAfee ESM is not user-friendly and the log is not accurate. For instance, if I were assigned to generate a log for changes made today, I wouldn't be able to see all the modifications. While Palo Alto allows us to see all changes, McAfee ESM only captures one out of every ten changes. It's crucial to have visibility into all changes made."
"The support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed."
"The only drawback is that they don't have any packet capturing or network behavior analysis."
"The only issue I have with McAfee is the amount of computer resources that it takes... it's definitely impacting some of the other applications that are running on a computer at the same time."
"Tech support is required each time there is a system update of the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have changed the pricing policy. Its price is competitive. Its price is less than half of the price of QRadar, LogRhythm, and Splunk."
"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."
"The price of McAfee ESM is higher than some of the other solutions. There are additional features that can be added at an additional fee."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"We pay for our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
"The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
"We renew our license annually."
"The price is good. It's moderate. We follow a pay-as-you-go model. There are different models available, and they can also be monthly. You can choose monthly or yearly. It's very flexible. If our existing customers exceed the current plan, you can just call McAfee and get it extended."
