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
3.2
In-house teams claim McAfee offers high ROI, but executives struggle to see it without C-level focused reports.
The solution is time-saving, particularly in the long run after it is deployed, enabling us to get value promptly.
Senior SOC Developer at XVE Security
 

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
4.3
Trellix ESM customer service is generally satisfactory, but technical support varies with noted delays and skill gaps.
If I raise a ticket, it initially goes to the L1 team, but the next level of escalation is really effective.
There is no UK-based support, which leads to delays in waiting for US support.
Senior SOC Developer at XVE Security
They excel in response times and quick reactions when there's an actual threat.
VP International Business and Alliances at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
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.
Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
It's rare for me to need them unless it's an issue with licensing, and they are the best in that regard.

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
8.6
Trellix ESM is highly scalable and adaptable, excelling in enterprise environments but may have limitations for medium enterprises.
I can rate it around eight to nine, and it is very scalable and capable of handling tasks, especially for the on-premises product.
Assistant VP, Idm Compliance at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.
VP International Business and Alliances at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The solution is scalable as it is cloud-based and cloud-native.
Senior SOC Developer at XVE Security
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.
Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
 

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
8.3
Trellix ESM is generally stable with effective support, though some users experience bugs and interruptions affecting reliability.
The stability of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is based on the events we are processing.
Assistant VP, Idm Compliance at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs improvements in user experience, integration, automation, customization, technical support, and compatibility with other technologies.
Trellix ESM requires stability, HTML5 migration, and upgrades in customization, integration, support, usability, and AI for improved functionality.
At the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present.
Assistant VP, Idm Compliance at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.
Senior SOC Developer at XVE Security
If there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that.
Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
 

Setup Cost

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM offers transparent, competitive pricing based on users, excluding data charges, making it attractive for enterprises.
Trellix ESM offers flexible, slightly costly licensing, valued for its SOC features, with straightforward setup and deployment.
Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS.
Regional Channel Manager at i2sBusiness Solutions
The solution is definitely not expensive.
VP International Business and Alliances at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The pricing has similar ingestion charges compared to other solutions, such as Splunk.
Senior SOC Developer at XVE Security
 

Valuable Features

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM enhances threat detection through advanced analytics and AI-driven features, reducing false positives and manual efforts.
Trellix ESM excels in real-time threat detection, user-friendly interface, quick deployment, and strong integration with other technologies.
Their customer responses are great, and they keep using the new AI tools to keep themselves at the edge of the game.
VP International Business and Alliances at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The other SIEM solutions lack an option for big data analysis, whereas in the Securonix Next-Gen SIEM, we have this option.
Assistant VP, Idm Compliance at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Now, the process is automatic, reducing our workload.
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.

Assistant VP, Idm Compliance at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Centralized environment supports big data while facing integration challenges
The customization in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is more difficult compared to other solutions. At the operation level, we are not facing many challenges with automating things using Securonix Next-Gen SIEM, but at the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present. The primary technology challenge we have is not at the security tools level. For example, firewall Cisco and others are capable. However, specific to product, for SAP, we are using certain products, and developing custom connectors for each product, especially the internal applications, is difficult, and Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is not up to the mark.
MD
Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
Offers comprehensive report generation while maintaining ease of integration
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.
