I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
"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."
"It blocks the things which are not to be allowed. It has an adaptive mode where it learns for itself."
"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."
"It is user-friendly. The notification part of McAfee ESM is very easy."
"The security can't be compromised, and the security features on offer are the most valuable feature and are why it's really worth having as a product like this in our organization."
"Trellix ESM utilizes fewer human resources and improves security and visibility."
"I would tell potential customers that ESM has a feature called all in one box."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. Over the years I have always been using this solution and have become comfortable with it."
 

Cons

"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
"McAfee is no more providing security updates on this product, and the enhancements to this product seem to have stopped."
"I have to purchase a new box now. Its existing box is not scalable and I can't use it anymore."
"The product documentation is good, but could be better. Also a bug-free version would be nice as the version I worked on had a bug in the alarm system."
"Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard."
"McAfee ESM is not able to cope with the advanced features."
"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."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"The only drawback is that they don't have any packet capturing or network behavior analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."
"The price of McAfee ESM is higher than some of the other solutions. There are additional features that can be added at an additional fee."
"We pay for our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"The price is good. It's moderate. We follow a pay-as-you-go model. There are different models available, and they can also be monthly. You can choose monthly or yearly. It's very flexible. If our existing customers exceed the current plan, you can just call McAfee and get it extended."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
"Regarding pricing, Trellix ESM is not that expensive. It's less than half the cost of IBM QRadar."
