We performed a comparison between Trellix ESM and USM Anywhere based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Log aggregation and data connectors are the most valuable features."
"The Log analytics are useful."
"Another area where it is helping us is in creating a single dashboard for our environment. We can collect all the logs into a log analytics workset and run queries on top of it. We get all the results in the dashboard. Even a layman can understand this stuff. The way Microsoft presents it is really incredible."
"In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"It is able to connect to an ever-growing number of platforms and systems within the Microsoft ecosystem, such as Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365 or Office 365, as well as to external services and systems that can be brought in and managed. We can manage on-premises infrastructure. We can manage not just the things that are running in Azure in the public cloud, but through Azure Arc and the hybrid capabilities, we can monitor on-premises servers and endpoints. We can monitor VMware infrastructure, for instance, running as part of a hybrid environment."
"The machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"Native integration with Microsoft security products or other Microsoft software is also crucial. For example, we can integrate Sentinel with Office 365 with one click. Other integrations aren't as easy. Sometimes, we have to do it manually."
"We didn't have anything similar. So, it really provides value from the incidents and automation point of view. The overview of the security fabric is most valuable."
"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."
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
"It is a good central viewpoint for issues. These can then be investigated in more detail on the subnet server(s)/endpoints."
"It is easy to use and deploy. It comes with user-friendly manuals."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."
"The solution is 100% stable. We really have had a great time working with it. It hasn't let us down."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of AT&T AlienVault USM are the ease of management and knowledge of what is on the network of my customers. It's easy to understand the problems, and management our alarms and events."
"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
"Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers."
"Allowed us to help our customers satisfy compliance needs around logging and monitoring."
"The following would be a challenge for any product in the market, but we have some in-house apps in our environment... our apps were built with different parameters and the APIs for them are not present in Sentinel. We are working with Microsoft to build those custom APIs that we require. That is currently in progress."
"Add more out-of-the-box connectors with other SaaS platforms/applications."
"Sentinel should be improved with more connectors. At the moment, it only covers a few vendors. If I remember correctly, only 100 products are supported natively in Sentinel, although you can connect them with syslog. But Microsoft should increase the number of native connectors to get logs into Sentinel."
"I would like Sentinel to have more out-of-the-box analytics rules. There are already more than 400 rules, but they could add more industry-specific ones. For example, you could have sets of out-of-the-box rules for banking, financial sector, insurance, automotive, etc., so it's easier for people to use it out of the box. Structuring the rules according to industry might help us."
"The learning curve could be improved. I am still learning it. We were able to implement the basic features to get them up and running, but there are still so many things that I don't know about all its features. They have a lot of features that we have not been able to use or apply. If they could work on reducing the solution's learning curve, that would be good. While there is a training course held by Microsoft to learn more about this solution, there is a cost associated with it."
"If Sentinel had a graphical user interface, it would be easier to use. I would also like it to be more customizable."
"The AI capabilities must be improved."
"Some of the data connectors are outdated, at least the ones that utilize Linux machines for log forwarding. I believe that Microsoft is already working on improving this."
"We would welcome integrations with some of the new McAfee acquisitions, e.g., behavioural analytics."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"McAfee is no more providing security updates on this product, and the enhancements to this product seem to have stopped. Moreover, we don't get proper support, and we struggle to get its support. It would be good if they can add some AI engine and out of the box use cases because it is currently limited to the same scenario and the same setup. I have done a POC for Securonix, LogRhythm. These products are much more ahead as compared to McAfee ESM. They have included multiple modules in the same solution. Correlation is very easy. If McAfee ESM can improve, especially in such implementations, then I believe it would be much better."
"Cloud integration has room for improvement because they're not full-fledged to integrate with the cloud solutions that come. They use different integration platforms to bring in data, and that needs to be improved."
"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."
"Tech support is required each time there is a system update of the solution."
"The support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed."
"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"USM Anywhere relies a lot on the community putting the data in. Often, you'll right-click on the attack, but nothing will be found. That's a weakness of it."
"AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard."
"The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly."
"Sometimes the log is unclear, and the report is a bit ambiguous."
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
