Sentiment score

In-house teams claim McAfee offers high ROI, but executives struggle to see it without C-level focused reports.
Devo gives value to the end user and is saving compared to other products in the same category.
Principal Consultant at Syntx Sdn Bhd
In terms of return on investment with Devo, I'd say it has been costly due to the need for support and the overtime required for issues experienced at the beginning of the project.
Senior Consultant and Technical Lead at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
We achieve early identification of security incidents that could potentially breach the customer environment, which would have been costly.
Principal Technology Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Both response time and support quality need attention.

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.
SVP 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.
Cyber Security Engineer at Protec

Cyber Security Engineer Ii (Vulnerability & Threat Management) at FICO
Devo's scalability has its challenges.
Senior Consultant and Technical Lead at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Regarding Devo's scalability, its horizontal scalability is quite good with no significant hassle.
Principal Technology Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Room For Improvement

Devo needs enhancements in support, performance, AI, customization, and documentation, focusing on data management and UI configuration.
Trellix ESM requires stability, HTML5 migration, and upgrades in customization, integration, support, usability, and AI for improved functionality.
It's hard for us to keep pace since our original use case was 250 to 500 megabytes a day, and then it became two terabytes a day.
Senior Consultant and Technical Lead at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Integrating custom parsing and mapping for non-standard logs is essential due to compatibility challenges with various technologies.
Principal Technology Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
This is particularly evident when dealing with failed login attempts and determining true versus false positives.
Strategic Account Executive at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
If there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that.
SVP IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
 

Setup Cost

Devo offers competitive, simple data ingestion-based pricing with extensive features and flexibility, despite some limitations in tier options.
Trellix ESM offers flexible, slightly costly licensing, valued for its SOC features, with straightforward setup and deployment.
The pricing could be simpler, and while the initial setup cost for a new instance is a bit expensive, the licensing can currently be user-based or driven by log volume, which is better if there is expansion of our user base.
Principal Technology Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The pricing of the product is reasonable if we compare it with other Gartner leading products like Splunk, LogRhythm, Microsoft Sentinel, Google SecOps.
Team Lead Soc at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
 

Valuable Features

Devo excels in real-time analytics, large data handling, customization, and third-party integration, enhancing security operations with advanced features.
Trellix ESM excels in real-time threat detection, user-friendly interface, quick deployment, and strong integration with other technologies.
When they see a spike in a line chart for a failed login, which could be a true or false attempt, they can click that spike, and a table widget on the same active board instantly populates with raw logs of data for those specific failed logins.
Strategic Account Executive at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
When the analyst uses queries to search, it pulls the data quickly, in a second, which aids us greatly with the investigation.
Cyber Security Engineer Ii (Vulnerability & Threat Management) at FICO
It utilizes 400 days of hot data, allowing queries to run very fast and yield results quicker than other tools in terms of security and SIEM capability.
Senior Cloud Engineer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
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.
SVP IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.

Team Lead Soc at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Advanced threat hunting has improved SOC visibility and now supports faster incident response
Devo can improve in how its connectors enhance integration with third-party tools. Devo's architecture works by having you deploy a relay server in the data center of the client side and Devo SIEM is basically on the AWS cloud. There are specific ports which are enabled on the relay server, which are 514 and 13000, 13151, 152. However, when we talk about databases and custom integrations, there are not default ports in the relay server. No default ports are defined. For JDBC drivers, the port number is 1433, but it is not in the relay server. You have to add it manually. For Oracle RDBMS, the port is 1521, and it is also not there by default. I would appreciate more third-party integrations including Fortinet and others. Machine learning models can also be improved. Playbooks in the SOAR can also be improved. Regarding playbooks for automation, we utilize playbooks for automation in SOAR for automated IOC blocking on a firewall, on a web application firewall, on DNS security, etc. The only option for us to run the playbook is to schedule the job for it. However, if I want to manually run the playbook, there is no option for doing so. This needs improvement.

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.
