"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial.

"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"It is easy to use and deploy. It comes with user-friendly manuals."
"The product’s most valuable feature is log monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is that if the scanning does find something, it quarantines it. Then you can decide what you are going to do with it."
"The support I have received from the vendor has been great."
"The most valuable feature for us is that it comes with many correlations, reports, and dashboards already available. It's also very easy to use."

Cons

"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."

"Product-wise, adding accounts on a single data source by batch would be a really great help."
"It is more difficult to operate Trellix ESM than other solutions."
"There should be support for multitenancy in the product."
"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."
