Offers automation alert features with easy integrations and impressive scalability

I would rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. There are a few technical challenges with the deployment, but it can easily solved by an experienced professional but not by a beginner user of the tool. The complete implementation and migration to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator will take around three months. If someone is using a software platform already with implemented use cases in their environment, it might be difficult to implement the same use cases when the customer is migrating to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator. The conditions and prior alert settings needs to be accurate when migrating to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, otherwise false positive alerts might get generated.

Offers a single dashboard with customizable features and a cost-effective pricing structure

Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features. Additionally, it has a cost-effective structure because it is based on data storage and the number of scans, rather than uploading data. This cost model impacts the customers positively by offering a more straightforward pricing structure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is very easy."

"The feature that I have found most valuable is its general purpose of protecting our endpoints from infections, malicious files, and all those kinds of things. The fact that there are organized policies and policy inheritance. The general management."

"We implemented data transfer protection, which allows transfer in one direction only. Users can copy from the PC to the USB but not from the USB to the PC. That way, if someone is carrying a virus on a USB, it will not be transferred to the PC."

"If you set it up right, it can really manage a very complex environment which require fine tuning where there are a lot of exceptions. That's what it caters to. It can just do those specifics in those exceptional situations, which is good."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the antivirus and the DLP."

"I like the solution's feasibility. McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is also better and easier to use than other ePOs."

"It is a scalable solution...I rate its scalability a nine out of ten."

"The automation alert for the ticketing tool is one of the vital features"

More McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator pros

"The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."

"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."

"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."

"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."

"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."

"Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features."

"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."

"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."

More Sumo Logic Security pros

Cons

"We would like to see more integration with different platforms and extend this to other platforms. We are migrating to the cloud and want to extend it from our on-premises setup to the cloud."

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator should improve its integration with other tools."

"The issues with the integration capabilities of the product, specifically the ones that are deployed on an on-premises model, need to be improved."

"The way that ePolicy launches the updates is very slow. It would be great if that was faster."

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator needs to upgrade its technology since the solution's EDR function is not good compared to other vendors in the market."

"The rollout to cover the online resources, such as SharePoint, One Drive, and Office 365 doesn't seem to have a very clear path."

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator support has been helpful. However, sometimes when I raise the case they take a while to answer. For example, the last time I used them it took them two weeks to reply back by email. No one has contacted me back since. They should improve their service."

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator could improve by supporting container microservices, such as Docker and Kubernetes."

More McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator cons

"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."

"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."

"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."

"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."

"I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial."

"The integration with multiple sources could be better."

"The solution should improve its UI."

"If you want to up your subscription through the AWS Marketplace, it can be difficult. You can't just go back to the AWS Marketplace, and say, "I want a bigger one now." You have to contact the sales team, then they do it on the back-end. This could definitely be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For large enterprise companies, the price should be alright, but for small businesses, the uptake might be slow because, for these clients, the price doesn't look very attractive."

"This solution is priced in the mid-range."

"$The price of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is expensive, it is approximately $6,000 to $9,000 per license annually."

"Compared to other Antivirus products, the cost of this solution is a bit high."

"McAfee tries to package different things into different products, then sell them as different products with different licenses. They just split everything up into multiple things. That's just their sales pitch and how they do it."

"There is a license required to use this solution. If we use the additional components, such as DLP encryption, there is an additional cost. However, it is similar to a separate product altogether. If you want to use that or not, it is optional, but when you use it, it will cost you additional pricing."

"It is attractively priced. It is a fraction of what we're going to pay for CrowdStrike or SentinelOne, but it only has a fraction of the capabilities as well."

"It's an expensive solution"

More McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator pricing and cost advice

"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."

"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."

"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."

"We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."

"The pricing is a little high, but for the features that we receive from Sumo Logic, it suits the price. For some small organizations, the price might be a little high."

"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."

"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."

"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
