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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"We use the solution to collect logs."
"The product’s most valuable feature is log monitoring."
"The most valuable feature in ESM is its search and reporting feature. It's really nice."
"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."
"It is a good central viewpoint for issues. These can then be investigated in more detail on the subnet server(s)/endpoints."
"I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten. The deployment is completed in two days."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation rules."
"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."
"I like the ease of deployment."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"We cannot add new data sources to the most recent version."
"The solution needs to improve case management. The UI is confusing."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product’s alert response feature needs improvement. It could be more flexible and secure."
"The only drawback is that they don't have any packet capturing or network behavior analysis."
"Cloud integration has room for improvement because they're not full-fledged to integrate with the cloud solutions that come. They use different integration platforms to bring in data, and that needs to be improved."
"There are always multiple bugs in the product. For example, the console page was hanging multiple times. Afterwards, they released multiple upgrades for the same, multiple patches from McAfee."
"Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"The pricing is good, and they are competitive compared to providers such as RSA and IBM QRadar."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"Regarding pricing, Trellix ESM is not that expensive. It's less than half the cost of IBM QRadar."
"The licensing cost is based on EPS."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
