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

"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 solution is stable."
"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."
"The solution is very cost-effective compared to Splunk and LogRhythm."
"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 algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."
"The product’s most valuable feature is log monitoring."
"Trellix ESM is very user-friendly."
"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."
"The support I have received from the vendor has been great."
"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 most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it."
"Compared to other solutions, the user interface is good."
"The solution's technical support is great."
 

Cons

"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."
"The dashboard has always been an issue."
"It would be better if they offered global coverage."
"The product should improve the triggering rate."
"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 management console could use some enhancements."
"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."
"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."
"We acquired the IBM product because McAfee is slightly confusing to use, and it's broader."
"I would like to see good analytics in future releases."
"Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard."
"Update to user interface from version 9 is cosmetic in some aspects, and after a few clicks you are back on the old interface."
"I have to purchase a new box now. Its existing box is not scalable and I can't use it anymore."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements to the user interface."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"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."
"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."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"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 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."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"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."
