Customization options need improvement but valuable threat management features and reasonable pricing benefit service providers
We are a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), and we provide services to our customers Seceon Open Threat Management Platform offers valuable features such as XDR and EDR. I also find the SOC and SOAR features valuable. Log management is another key functionality of the product. There are…

Offers comprehensive report generation while maintaining ease of integration
We need to improve Trellix ESM by making sure that most of the logging devices available in the global market should be covered, and if there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that. We can add some new features regarding AI in the future for Trellix ESM, but the maturity will take a longer time. There are many false positives that happen in an environment during the first couple of months, or around six months, so the system analyst is not able to identify whether the event which has occurred is a true positive or a false positive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform provides a more straightforward implementation that is better than Splunk and offers an AI-based platform with machine learning and deep learning capabilities."
"If we compare the solution with other SIEM solutions that are also turning to artificial intelligence, this will be the number one choice."
"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence."
"The solution is very cost-effective compared to Splunk and LogRhythm."
"It is effective because it has threat intelligence from across the world and constantly checks and updates for new threats."
"The most valuable features are behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, endpoint detection, and response features."
"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"Customer service is very good."
"It is user-friendly. The notification part of McAfee ESM is very easy."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
"We use this solution for correlation, alerting, and log management."
"Compared to other solutions, the user interface is good."
"I like the ease of deployment."
"The product’s most valuable feature is log monitoring."
"It has performed well and delivered the results that I have been looking for."
 

Cons

"We are at the client’s end, offering services. They don’t know about security rules and benchmarks. We are working on the discovery and remediation but we don’t really have the intelligence that was available while working with other tools. Human working is also very essential for the solution. The automatic session is impossible to play since it needs to touch Redfin for further analysis. No one has breached our clients."
"It is a standalone solution now. They need to make it into a cloud-based subscription model. It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions. It can also have more threats and deeper integration with Microsoft."
"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."
"The dashboard has always been an issue."
"It would be better if they offered global coverage."
"It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions."
"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."
"It would be ideal with the processing was more manageable. Not many customers are willing to have a dedicated server with two CPUs and one TB of memory. The cost of this is huge for a smaller organization."
"It seems McAfee does test its product before releasing. When we - not only us, other companies also - deploy McAfee, we face multiple issues from the customer side, after which, McAfee reacts and fixes the bugs."
"Technical support for this product could be improved."
"When it came to using the solution for a larger organization, we were faced with some troubles attempting to manage the GUI functionality."
"Yes, sometimes it seems that versions with major upgrades come with some bugs and regressions that affected stability."
"The product’s alert response feature needs improvement. It could be more flexible and secure."
"We are having trouble migrating our data sources from version 10 to version 11.2. We cannot add new data sources to the most recent version."
"The disk space needed for events is not clear. In all clients, we had at least more than 100GB free that we could not use."
"Areas of Trellix ESM that could be improved or enhanced include checking on the clients who are still on-prem, especially banks, as most are not moving everything to the cloud due to confidentiality and accessibility during network outages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."
"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
"We pay for our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"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."
"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."
"We renew our license annually."
"The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
