Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"The tool's effectiveness depends on how you define your log sources. To build visibility of incoming and outgoing traffic, you need logs from perimeter defense, firewalls, web application firewalls, and endpoint protection. With good traffic visibility, incident response time is really quick."
"The most valuable features of McAfee ESM are intrusion detection, malware protection, and the device controller."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation rules."
"It is user-friendly. The notification part of McAfee ESM is very easy."
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
"It is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"The product’s alert response feature needs improvement. It could be more flexible and secure."
"Cloud integration has room for improvement because they're not full-fledged to integrate with the cloud solutions that come. They use different integration platforms to bring in data, and that needs to be improved."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"It cannot integrate with our Next-Generation Firewall and few applications such as Cisco ACI."
"I have to purchase a new box now. Its existing box is not scalable and I can't use it anymore."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"The initial setup is difficult and could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"We renew our license annually."
"The pricing is fair."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."
"The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
"We pay for our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Regarding pricing, Trellix ESM is not that expensive. It's less than half the cost of IBM QRadar."
