We performed a comparison between ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer 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 ability to run custom KQL queries. I don't know if that feature is specific to Sentinel. As far as I know, they are using technology built into Azure's Log Analytics app. Sentinel integrates with that, and we use this functionality heavily."
"The SOAR playbooks are Sentinel's most valuable feature. It gives you a unified toolset for detecting, investigating, and responding to incidents. That's what clearly differentiates Sentinels from its competitors. It's cloud-native, offering end-to-end coverage with more than 120 connectors. All types of data logs can be poured into the system so analysis can happen. That end-to-end visibility gives it the advantage."
"The analytics has a lot of advantages because there are 300 default use cases for rules and we can modify them per our environment. We can create other rules as well. Analytics is a useful feature."
"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"
"The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"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."
"I like the unified security console. You can close incidents using Sentinel in all other Microsoft Security portals, when it comes to incident response."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The user interface is very good."
"It is stable."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"I like the ease of deployment."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation rules."
"The most valuable feature in ESM is its search and reporting feature. It's really nice."
"It is user-friendly. The notification part of McAfee ESM is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of McAfee ESM are intrusion detection, malware protection, and the device controller."
"It is easy to use."
"The solution's technical support is great."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"Sentinel still has some anomalies. For example, sometimes when we write a query for log analysis with KQL, it doesn't give us the data in a proper way... Also, the fields or columns could be improved. Sometimes, it is not giving the desired results and there is a blank field."
"Microsoft Sentinel should provide an alternative query language to KQL for users who lack KQL expertise."
"If Azure Sentinel had the ability to ingest Azure services from different tenants into another tenant that was hosting Azure Sentinel, and not lose any metadata, that would be a huge benefit to a lot of companies."
"Sometimes, it is hard for us to estimate the costs of Microsoft Sentinel."
"It has been a challenge with Azure Sentinel to onboard the Syslog server from FortiGate. Azure Sentinel can work better on that shift between the Syslog server and a firewall."
"We do see continuous improvement all the time, however, I haven't got a specific feature that is lacking or not well designed."
"There are certain delays. For example, if an alert has been rated on Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, it might take up to an hour for that alert to reach Sentinel. This should ideally take no more than one or two seconds."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The scalability is limited."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"We acquired the IBM product because McAfee is slightly confusing to use, and it's broader."
"Product currently requires Flash."
"Product-wise, adding accounts on a single data source by batch would be a really great help."
"I have to purchase a new box now. Its existing box is not scalable and I can't use it anymore."
"There are some banking and transactional cases that are local, South America transactions. I would like to see them add features that can be used locally, to make those transactions more reliable."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed."
"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."
