Executive SummaryUpdated on Sep 18, 2024

Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
5.2
Users are still assessing ROI, finding potential value in cloud billing and comparing with DNIF for long-term impact.
Sentiment score
3.2
In-house teams claim McAfee offers high ROI, but executives struggle to see it without C-level focused reports.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.9
Google Chronicle Suite's customer service is generally positive, but some users note delays; recent staffing improvements are acknowledged.
Sentiment score
4.3
Trellix ESM customer service is generally satisfactory, but technical support varies with noted delays and skill gaps.
We are a critical project for them at this moment, and they provide excellent service.
I have faced challenges with technical support from Sentinel, though Sentinel support is better than Google's, while Splunk support is also not that great.
They are slow, and the initial responses often require more information rather than providing helpful solutions.
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.
It's rare for me to need them unless it's an issue with licensing, and they are the best in that regard.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Google Chronicle Suite is praised for scalability, handling large data volumes efficiently on Google infrastructure, suitable for diverse needs.
Sentiment score
8.6
Trellix ESM is highly scalable and adaptable, excelling in enterprise environments but may have limitations for medium enterprises.
In the cloud-native space, the problem is that if you require additional devices, you might have to work on custom applications.
Google Chronicle Suite is very scalable, being a cloud-based solution.
I rate the scalability of Google Chronicle Suite as ten out of ten.
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
7.9
Google Chronicle Suite is praised for reliability and stability, with minor issues in small POC environments but generally performs well.
Sentiment score
8.3
Trellix ESM is generally stable with effective support, though some users experience bugs and interruptions affecting reliability.
I rate the stability of Google Chronicle Suite as a nine, as I have not encountered any stability issues.
 

Room For Improvement

Google Chronicle Suite requires user-friendly enhancements in dashboard, API integration, log management, alerting, and threat intelligence features.
Trellix ESM requires stability, HTML5 migration, and upgrades in customization, integration, support, usability, and AI for improved functionality.
Google Chronicle Suite lacks near time detection.
The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience.
Customization is vital where users can customize the alerts, dashboard, or content as per their needs. This is more required in Google Chronicle Suite, allowing analysts or engineers to create according to the organization.
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

Google Chronicle offers flexible, competitive pricing but can become costly for larger businesses with additional platforms.
Trellix ESM offers flexible, slightly costly licensing, valued for its SOC features, with straightforward setup and deployment.
It's neither expensive nor cheap, and I believe it is a justified price for the features offered.
Compared to a SIEM like Microsoft Sentinel, it is much more affordable.
I experience Chronicle as less expensive and less complicated than Azure.
 

Valuable Features

Google Chronicle Suite excels in threat response, seamless integration, automation, and cost-effective data management for audits and compliance.
Trellix ESM excels in real-time threat detection, user-friendly interface, quick deployment, and strong integration with other technologies.
The threat intelligence, especially continuous IOC feeds, is a standout feature.
They also combine their source solution into one product, allowing for out-of-the-box playbook creation and incident response.
It is also cost-effective, charged based on use per second rather than data volume.
In case of other ESM solutions, there are no parsers required, and almost every device is covered within the license, so there is no hidden cost as custom parsers.

Featured Reviews

Viney Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Has required significant customization but has supported threat pattern discovery and AI-driven analytics
The integration of Google Chronicle Suite with existing SIEM systems needs to be more mature, so some customization is required. With custom applications, it's quite difficult, and they need to work on this. The automated threat detection features in Google Chronicle Suite come with a lot of false positives and noise. They are new to the market and need to improve significantly. Customization is vital where users can customize the alerts, dashboard, or content as per their needs. This is more required in Google Chronicle Suite, allowing analysts or engineers to create according to the organization. They need to provide cheaper options for online versus offline log storage and improve retention and compression of the logs. Especially searching offline logs is a feature missing from most SIEM solutions nowadays.
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.
