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

"The pricing of Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is very reasonable."
"The solution is stable."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform notifies only genuine alerts. It offers plenty of options that are suitable for MSPs."
"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."
"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence."
"The most valuable features are behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, endpoint detection, and response features."
"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. Over the years I have always been using this solution and have become comfortable with it."
"The most valuable features of McAfee ESM are intrusion detection, malware protection, and the device controller."
"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."
"Trellix ESM utilizes fewer human resources and improves security and visibility."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
"McAfee as a whole is a good solution."
"It is user-friendly. The notification part of McAfee ESM is very easy."
"The solution's technical support is great."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."
"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."
"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."
"The SOP they provided wasn't great. They offered training over Sherp Virtualization, and the Seceon leadership visited our location to explain everything in detail, but the documentation and training could be better. It isn't as effective as it could be. There's some room for improvement there."
"The management console could use some enhancements."
"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."
"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."
"The support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed."
"Product-wise, adding accounts on a single data source by batch would be a really great help."
"McAfee ESM is not user-friendly and the log is not accurate. For instance, if I were assigned to generate a log for changes made today, I wouldn't be able to see all the modifications. While Palo Alto allows us to see all changes, McAfee ESM only captures one out of every ten changes. It's crucial to have visibility into all changes made."
"Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard."
"There's no software support from McAfee."
"I have to purchase a new box now. Its existing box is not scalable and I can't use it anymore."
"Update to user interface from version 9 is cosmetic in some aspects, and after a few clicks you are back on the old interface."
"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

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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 licensing cost is based on EPS."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."
"The pricing is good, and they are competitive compared to providers such as RSA and IBM QRadar."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
"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."
"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."
