We performed a comparison between LogRhythm SIEM and Trellix ESM 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."I like the unified security console. You can close incidents using Sentinel in all other Microsoft Security portals, when it comes to incident response."
"Having your logs put all in one place with machine learning working on those logs is a good feature. I don't need to start thinking, "Where are my logs?" My logs are in a centralized repository, like Log Analytics, which is why you can't use Sentinel without Log Analytics. Having all those logs in one place is an advantage."
"The best feature is that onboarding to the SIM solution is quite easy. If you are using cloud-based solutions, it's just a few clicks to migrate it."
"Sentinel uses Azure Logic Apps for automation, which is really powerful. This allows us to easily automate responses to incidents."
"The AI and ML of Azure Sentinel are valuable. We can use machine learning models at the tenant level and within Office 365 and Microsoft stack. We don't need to depend upon any other connectors. It automatically provisions the native Microsoft products."
"The machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies."
"Previously, it was a little bit difficult to find where an incident came from, including which IP address and which country. So in Sentinel, it's very easy to find where the incident came from since we can easily get the information from the dashboard, after which we take action quickly."
"The major feature of this solution is its easy configuration which helps different team members to work on it effectively. This kind of feature is not available in other solutions because of a request for specialised schemes for configuration report extraction and searching. Another feature that I really admire is the significant improvement in the compliance in the auditing process by the solution. Our organisation-specific complaints require where the mailbox data needs to be forwarded, stored and searchable for a certain time period. This solution categorises data based on different types, which include cold, warm and hot data. These features allow faster and easier extraction of any data even if the event was occurring several years ago. I also like other features, especially user behaviour analysis and automation. If suddenly someone accesses your side or an unusual traffic is recorded from a user the solution flags it very effectively."
"The product is great for medium to large-scale organizations."
"Their customer support is friendly and willing to help."
"I would rate the product a ten out of ten. The solution is very user-friendly and straightforward. The tool's report customization is interesting."
"The correlation engine is extremely valuable because it uses machine learning to process information from the central manager and identifies issues in the network."
"Our clients enjoy having one dashboard to monitor their environments in real time."
"LogRhythm's GUI is easy to explore. We also like other features, such as its integration with other security solutions, log correlation, and the deployment of use cases."
"LogRhythm has increased productivity because all the tools that we need are in the web UI, allowing us to find threats on our network fast and efficiently."
"The solution's technical support is great."
"It is user-friendly. The notification part of McAfee ESM is very easy."
"It is a good central viewpoint for issues. These can then be investigated in more detail on the subnet server(s)/endpoints."
"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 easy to use and deploy. It comes with user-friendly manuals."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it."
"McAfee as a whole is a good solution."
"There is room for improvement in entity behavior and the integration site."
"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."
"When we pass KPIs to the governance department, there's no option to provide rights to the data or dashboard to colleagues. We can use Power BI for this, but it isn't easy or convenient. They should just come up with a way to provide limited role-based access to auditing personnel"
"The performance could be improved. If I create 15 to 20 lines for a single-use case in KQL, sometimes it takes more time to execute. If I create use cases within a certain timeline, the result will show in .01 seconds. A complex query takes more time to get results."
"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."
"They only classify alerts into three categories: high, medium, and low. So, from the user's point of view, having another critical category would be awesome."
"It would be good to have some connectors for third-party SIEM solutions. Many customers are struggling with the integration of Azure Sentinel with their on-premise SIEM. Microsoft is changing the log structure many times a year, which can corrupt a custom integration. It would be good to have some connectors developed by Microsoft or supply vendors, but they are not providing such functionality or tools."
"There is a wider thing called Jupyter Notebooks, which is around the automation side of things. It would be good if there are playbooks that you can utilize without having to have the developer experience to do it in-house. Microsoft could provide more playbooks or more Jupyter Notebooks around MITRE ATT&CK Framework."
"The responses provided by the cloud team are inefficient."
"My biggest complaint is documentation. Everyone tells me, "We have documentation on the Community site." I have searched for different types of documentation on numerous occasions, and it might be there, but it's not easily findable."
"In terms of blind spots, we are looking for more improvements since we don't have visibility over everything."
"The security playbook could be pre-defined and available to other analysts with similar security issues."
"I think there is room for improvement because the system is still running on the Windows Server platform. The problem with running on Windows is that it is not that good for scaling and providing for big deployment environments."
"I would like to see our vulnerabilities counter. We will be using Tenable to fill that void right now."
"Granted, we haven't enabled the UEBA module, but we're forwarding all our proxy logs to LogRhythm and we have a really hard time pulling those proxy logs back out of LogRhythm. However, when we take LogRhythm and forward the same logs into somebody else's user-based analytics software, we get the majority of what we were missing... If we've got all our proxy logs and I go out to Google or Facebook or the like, we should be able to go in and pull that information out ten minutes later, but it's a big challenge to do that."
"We have run into problems with stability going through upgrade processes. Recently, we have been on the front edge of the upgrade path. When that happens we tend to run into issues either with certain functionality not working after the upgrades or stability issues because of the upgrades."
"I would like to see improvements to the user interface."
"The disk space needed for events is not clear. In all clients, we had at least more than 100GB free that we could not use."
"I would like to see fingerprint recognition included in the next release of this solution."
"The support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed."
"The only drawback is that they don't have any packet capturing or network behavior analysis."
"The initial setup is difficult and could improve."
"Update to user interface from version 9 is cosmetic in some aspects, and after a few clicks you are back on the old interface."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."

I cannot respond to the query as I have worked with solutions based on NetIQ and AcrSight.
1. I feel the query is very generic and can not have any tangible response other than users listing their side of the stories (experience) while tabulating Pros & Cons would be inconclusive.
2. The vendors mentioned (McAfee, Splunk, LogRhythm and IBM Q1 Labs) are from the top quadrant and are very much comparable based on evaluation parameters such as List of Features, capabilities and capacities, Integration to other corporate IT security tools etc.
3. Methodology used by Gartner for evaluation of vendors for SIEM Quadrant should also be kept in view to get a realistic comparison. I feel, its not a real Apple-to-Apple comparison nor can be used as a measure to influence the decision making for a new deployment (or migration to another vendor)
4. I also feel that vendor experiences, most of the times are dependent on how clear you are of your own Security Landscape, Compliance & Regulatory drivers and requirements.

Unfortunately while evaluating SIEM solutions I was unable to evaluate the IBM solution. I tried to work with IBM for two weeks to get an evaluation of the product and finally gave up.
I think Splunk is an incredibly diverse and flexible product; however, if you are just looking for a SIEM I think it's a bit overcomplicated.
Our company choose SolarWinds LEM due to it's ease of deployments for small to mid sized environments and we have a good track record working with SolarWinds as a vendor.
I asked this question in a previous discussion, what is your experience with the solutions?
I went to Infoworld and found some pretty interesting results - www.infoworld.com
It seems that based on price, GFI took the prize with $220/server $22/workstation.
But based on features and sheer capability, Arcsight took the prize there.
Additional findings bring up HP Arcsight, IBM Q1 Radar and McAfee Nitro as the industry leaders - Gartner Magic Quadrant from 2013 - infosecnirvana.com
But if you were to go to the comparison charts:
Cons
HP Arcsight - Complex, Suited for Medium to large deployments, learning curve, skilled employees
IBM Q1 Radar - Limited Customization, limited multitenancy support, limited use case configuration
McAfee Nitro - Very basic correlation capabilities, requires agent installs, no analytics capability, limited customization, limited support for multi-tier, multi-tenancy
There are others these seem to be the leaders in the industry.
So from the report from Gartner, Infoworld and Infosecnirvana.com, they all seem to think that HP Arcsight is the way to go

Hi,
I disgree for SME installation since Q1 is usually on a large scale
installation. While expertise on the product is still needed including
integration with other security platforms.
Splunk/LogRythm is good for Network correlation only not focusing much on the
security area.
McAfee is ok for both SME and Enterprise whilst expertise should also be
considered as they have an easy and available tool for integration with their
ticketing system, IPS, and AV.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Lilet
Its is now an easy and clear answer.
It depends on the environment, the integration needed, and the staff expertise.
IBM is usually a better solution for large/very large installations and integration.
But it requires much more staff and skills.
But for smaller environments Splunk and LogRhytm is better.
McAfee is correctly rated against others.
So the answer is YES/AGREE for large installations.
And NO/DISAGREE for smaller ones.
