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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"McAfee ESM is the perfect SIEM tool, and it provides best results based on data intake and rule based configuration."
"You will definitely get a return on your investment if you develop the correct security management metrics and have decent operational procedures in place to take action on events in ESM."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. Over the years I have always been using this solution and have become comfortable with it."
"VirusScan Enterprise provides protection against real-time malware attacks."
"It is easy to use and deploy. It comes with user-friendly manuals."
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is that it comes with many correlations, reports, and dashboards already available, and it's also very easy to use."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"There are always multiple bugs in the product. For example, the console page was hanging multiple times. Afterwards, they released multiple upgrades for the same, multiple patches from McAfee."
"We are having trouble migrating our data sources from version 10 to version 11.2. We cannot add new data sources to the most recent version."
"Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard."
"The only issue I have with McAfee is the amount of computer resources that it takes... it's definitely impacting some of the other applications that are running on a computer at the same time."
"There should be support for multitenancy in the product."
"McAfee ESM is not able to cope with the advanced features."
"Tech support is required each time there is a system update of the solution."
"Just like any other software/hardware platform, once in awhile we have issues with software bugs, but McAfee's support is good in helping to fix these issues in a timely manner."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"The licensing cost is based on EPS."
"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"The price of McAfee ESM is higher than some of the other solutions. There are additional features that can be added at an additional fee."
"The pricing is fair."
"The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
"We renew our license annually."
