Zuhair Hasan

Manager, Information Technology Security at Nesma

Has good integration capability and provides information and events but improvement is needed in information retrieval speed

The best features are the comprehensive event collection and analysis. Once set up properly, we receive all events and information. The team analyzes our data and presents incidents to us. We can communicate with their team to escalate and resolve incidents. It has a feature we use to search for information about our environment and past incidents. This is very valuable. The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets.

Mohit Dhingra

Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.

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.

Cons

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology. They also improve their correlation engine. In addition to collecting logs from devices, they can collect the traffic and then correlate these logs and the traffic information."

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."

"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have changed the pricing policy. Its price is competitive. Its price is less than half of the price of QRadar, LogRhythm, and Splunk."

"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."

"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."

"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."

"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."

"The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."

"The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."

"The pricing is fair."

"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."

"The licensing cost is based on EPS."
