Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required
The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

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

"It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."
"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."
"The benefit of DNIF was that the solution was able to detect any anomalies and identify and prevent any possible security threats or attacks."
"The response time on queries is super-fast."
"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance, it also works on a virtual machine and we haven't found any issues with it so far, it's been reliable."
"DNIF is much faster, much more responsive, and far superior when compared to competitive tools."
"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it."
"We use this solution for correlation, alerting, and log management."
"Trellix ESM utilizes fewer human resources and improves security and visibility."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
"It blocks the things which are not to be allowed. It has an adaptive mode where it learns for itself."
"We now have a better view of our security posture from an external and internal point of view."
"The product works better than other vendors available in the market."
"I like the ease of deployment."
 

Cons

"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."
"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."
"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."
"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"DNIF HYPERCLOUD is not a stable product compared to other tools like IBM QRadar."
"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."
"I used version 8 which was not at all stable. The services and processor keep going down, we had to manually keep them up increasing storage space because services are down, and logs not processed."
"Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard."
"Technical support for this product could be improved."
"The initial setup is difficult and could improve."
"When it came to using the solution for a larger organization, we were faced with some troubles attempting to manage the GUI functionality."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"There's no software support from McAfee."
"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."
"It cannot integrate with our Next-Generation Firewall and few applications such as Cisco ACI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"The pricing is based on the log size."
"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"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."
"We renew our license annually."
"The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
