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

"I like that it's an AI-based platform. The most valuable feature is that it's a comprehensive solution. Most tools in the marketplace are comprised of miscellaneous items. They fail to provide real-time remediation features. However, with Seceon Open Threat Management Platform, anything you can think of in cybersecurity, like auto-remediation, real-time response, and even on-premise components, is available in a single platform. So, it's perfect for finance and healthcare who don't want to share their data with a third party like the cloud. You can have this on-premise as well. So, the expenditure will be lower as less human intervention is required."
"We only recently started using Seceon, so we aren't taking advantage of all its features yet. We have enabled some proactive alerts about utilization and bottlenecks from high traffic."
"The main thing is the value proposition. It is one of the most sophisticated yet affordable solutions that I've come across. It is also one of the easiest-to-manage yet comprehensive solutions for a SOC analyst. Its customizations are really good, and it has a lot of integrations. It is multi-tenant and very fast to onboard. Its stability is 100%. We've never had an outage with it. It doesn't require extensive hardware resources. Its level of support is also very good. They have a very responsive technical team."
"The pricing of Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is very reasonable."
"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."
"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 feature in ESM is its search and reporting feature. It's really nice."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
"This solution integrates easily and very well with other technologies."
"It has good technical support, which is available around the clock. You can call up anytime and get whatever you want. My queues are resolved."
"It is easy to use and deploy. It comes with user-friendly manuals."
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
"It has performed well and delivered the results that I have been looking for."
"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."
 

Cons

"It would be better if they offered global coverage."
"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."
"The management console could use some enhancements."
"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform sells some add-ons as part of the whole suite but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially attract more business."
"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."
"For small to medium-sized customers, Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is good. However, for large enterprises, it is not as effective."
"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."
"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."
"We cannot add new data sources to the most recent version."
"I would like to see good analytics in future releases."
"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."
"Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard."
"Tech support is required each time there is a system update of the solution."
"It is more difficult to operate Trellix ESM than other solutions."
"It cannot integrate with our Next-Generation Firewall and few applications such as Cisco ACI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"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."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"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."
"Regarding pricing, Trellix ESM is not that expensive. It's less than half the cost of IBM QRadar."
"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
"The licensing cost is based on EPS."
"The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
"The pricing is good, and they are competitive compared to providers such as RSA and IBM QRadar."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
