Review summaries and opinions

ROI

8.9
ArcSight Intelligence boosts security and ROI by automating threat detection, reducing false positives, and streamlining workflows with advanced analytics.
Sentiment score

McAfee's ROI is praised for security management, despite executives seeking better ESM report visibility at the C-level.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
ArcSight Intelligence has slow but capable customer support, with mixed user satisfaction regarding problem resolution and feedback sufficiency.
Sentiment score
5.9
Trellix ESM's customer service is praised, but technical support quality is inconsistent and varies by region, needing improvement.
I would rate support for Trellix ESM 10 out of 10 because if we connect with the support in the UK, we get excellent support.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.3
ArcSight Intelligence is scalable but complex, with user ratings ranging from moderately to highly, influenced by partner support.
Sentiment score
8.5
Trellix ESM is adaptable and scalable, suiting diverse business sizes and needs, though setup may challenge smaller users.
Scalability is quite easier with Trellix ESM, because all we need to do is add more receivers to it, so it can go to any point.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
ArcSight Intelligence is highly rated for stability and consistent performance, with users giving it a nine out of ten.
Sentiment score
8.5
Trellix ESM is perceived as stable overall, with occasional bugs resolvable by support, especially stable in data centers.
 

Room For Improvement

ArcSight Intelligence requires frequent updates, improved usability, better speed, enhanced scalability, lower pricing, and higher ranking compared to QRadar and Splunk.
Trellix ESM needs improved stability, a modern interface, better integration, decreased resource use, and enhanced analytics capabilities.
If there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that.
 

Setup Cost

ArcSight Intelligence is costly, suited for enterprises, and offers various licensing options with extra charges for new features.
Trellix ESM offers competitive and flexible pricing, with discounts for large purchases, easy deployment, and annual or monthly payments.
 

Valuable Features

ArcSight Intelligence offers a powerful log correlation engine, customizable alerts, seamless dashboard, user-friendly interface, and easy rule creation.
Trellix ESM offers user-friendly features like dashboards, integration, threat monitoring, and automation for enhanced security and operational efficiency.
The weakest point is it doesn't cover almost all the devices, so the customer has to be more dependent on the parsers to be written by the Professional Services team.

Featured Reviews

Nagendra Nekkala - PeerSpot reviewer
A user-friendly solution that can be used to integrate the logs properly with different connectors
ArcSight Intelligence is easy to maintain; one person is enough for the solution's maintenance. The maintenance person will add new features or devices, make policy changes or configurations, and learn and guide other engineers about new threats. ArcSight Intelligence is a user-friendly solution, and users should buy it if their company can afford its cost. Overall, I rate ArcSight Intelligence a nine out of ten.
Daniel Durian - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
