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
3.1
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM boosts security awareness, operational efficiency, and ROI, reducing costs and response times for users.
Sentiment score
5.4
McAfee's ROI is praised for security management, despite executives seeking better ESM report visibility at the C-level.
The solution is time-saving, particularly in the long run after it is deployed, enabling us to get value promptly.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
5.6
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM support is generally effective and knowledgeable but varies in response time, with regional differences.
Sentiment score
5.9
Trellix ESM's customer service is praised, but technical support quality is inconsistent and varies by region, needing improvement.
There is no UK-based support, which leads to delays in waiting for US support.
If I raise a ticket, it initially goes to the L1 team, but the next level of escalation is really effective.
They excel in response times and quick reactions when there's an actual threat.
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.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM excels in scalability and performance, efficiently managing large data volumes and user numbers in cloud environments.
Sentiment score
8.5
Trellix ESM is adaptable and scalable, suiting diverse business sizes and needs, though setup may challenge smaller users.
It's certainly meant for large entities and to some extent medium entities who are on a growth trajectory, but certainly not for small ones.
I can rate it around eight to nine, and it is very scalable and capable of handling tasks, especially for the on-premises product.
The solution is scalable as it is cloud-based and cloud-native.
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
7.8
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is stable with good performance, occasional slowness, and effective log management, despite initial challenges.
Sentiment score
8.5
Trellix ESM is perceived as stable overall, with occasional bugs resolvable by support, especially stable in data centers.
The stability of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is based on the events we are processing.
 

Room For Improvement

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs improvements in user experience, integration, automation, customization, technical support, and compatibility with other technologies.
Trellix ESM needs improved stability, a modern interface, better integration, decreased resource use, and enhanced analytics capabilities.
At the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present.
When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck.
The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth.
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

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM offers transparent, competitive pricing based on users, excluding data charges, making it attractive for enterprises.
Trellix ESM offers competitive and flexible pricing, with discounts for large purchases, easy deployment, and annual or monthly payments.
Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS.
The solution is definitely not expensive.
The pricing has similar ingestion charges compared to other solutions, such as Splunk.
 

Valuable Features

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM enhances threat detection through advanced analytics and AI-driven features, reducing false positives and manual efforts.
Trellix ESM offers user-friendly features like dashboards, integration, threat monitoring, and automation for enhanced security and operational efficiency.
Compared to the previous solution we used, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM has many advantages on the MTTR part, as the containment and alerts automations are feasible from the response point of view.
Now, the process is automatic, reducing our workload.
The software includes user behavior interactions, dashboards, and training capabilities.
The weakest point is it doesn't cover almost all the devices, so the customer has to be more dependent on the parsers to be written by the Professional Services team.

Featured Reviews

Mohammed Nadeem Rais - PeerSpot reviewer
The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.
The most valuable feature of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is its advance analytics, flexibility and scalability. We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation. This makes it a robust and cost-effective solution for our needs. Its user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) are also integral for detecting insider threats and lateral movements within the organization. These features help organizations strengthen their security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements.
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.
