You need a skilled engineer to deploy it because you can do anything with this tool. You can see everything on the network. A good engineer will be surprised and have fun using this tool because it's very powerful. Deployment process: You need to build a recipe/layout when you want to deploy something. Once the recipe is done, you just have to copy it. So you really need a good engineer at first, but then any other technician can copy the recipe. You don't need to be an expert once the recipe is finalized. So, once you have it set up, it's easy to deploy. But you need a good engineer to deploy it correctly. You will get alerts from the system, but if you want to fully explore and maximize the tool, the engineering needs are different.

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 most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"The ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"It can be easily deployed with the other solutions."
"The most valuable features of McAfee ESM are intrusion detection, malware protection, and the device controller."
"It is a good central viewpoint for issues, which can then be investigated in more detail on the subnet servers and endpoints."
"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."
"It has good technical support, which is available around the clock. You can call up anytime and get whatever you want. My queues are resolved."
"McAfee as a whole is a good solution."
 

Cons

"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"McAfee ESM is not able to cope with the advanced features."
"The product documentation is good, but could be better. Also a bug-free version would be nice as the version I worked on had a bug in the alarm system."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is not a very advanced solution, and it is for very generic use cases. It cannot cope with the advanced requirements that we're going to have. For example, for multiple authentication failures, it is still based on Windows events for detecting multiple login failures, whereas other companies are going beyond and working on implementing two-factor authentication. It is time to correlate the two-factor authentication results with authentification failures, which is not happening with McAfee ESM. The performance of the tool should be improved because it is very slow. The data display on the console is very slow in McAfee ESM. Its data storage is still old-fashioned, and it should be improved and upgraded to the latest versions. They have to come up with some new ideas to match what other leaders in the same domain are doing. For example, in Splunk, when you search for information for the last 60 days or five months, it quickly shows the information, but that is not the case with McAfee. The results should be quicker and faster on the console. They should integrate some additional features such as User Behavior Analytics (UBA) and automation. The threat intelligence part should also be improved on McAfee."
"I had a couple of problems collecting Windows events."
"The initial setup is difficult and could improve."
"The API the product provides still needs to develop some maturity."
"The only drawback is that they don't have any packet capturing or network behavior analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
"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."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
"The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
"The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"The price is good. It's moderate. We follow a pay-as-you-go model. There are different models available, and they can also be monthly. You can choose monthly or yearly. It's very flexible. If our existing customers exceed the current plan, you can just call McAfee and get it extended."
