Featured Reviews

Tony Zafiropoulos - PeerSpot reviewer
Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.
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.

Pros

"We use the solution to collect logs."
"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"It can be easily deployed with the other solutions."
"Trellix ESM is very user-friendly."
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
"This solution integrates easily and very well with other technologies."
"I like the ease of deployment."
"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."
"It blocks the things which are not to be allowed. It has an adaptive mode where it learns for itself."
"The solution is 100% stable. We really have had a great time working with it. It hasn't let us down."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard."
"There should be support for multitenancy in the product."
"I would like to see fingerprint recognition included in the next release of this solution."
"There are some banking and transactional cases that are local, South America transactions. I would like to see them add features that can be used locally, to make those transactions more reliable."
"I would like to see good analytics in future releases."
"Product-wise, adding accounts on a single data source by batch would be a really great help."
"I would like to see improvements to the user interface."
"We would welcome integrations with some of the new McAfee acquisitions, e.g., behavioural analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"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."
"Regarding pricing, Trellix ESM is not that expensive. It's less than half the cost of IBM QRadar."
"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."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"The pricing is good, and they are competitive compared to providers such as RSA and IBM QRadar."
"The licensing cost is based on EPS."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
