Though the solution offers good technical support, it needs to be made more user-friendly
I rate the initial setup a seven and a half out of ten. So, it's closer to seven. The tool is deployed in our organization on-premises with some test servers. In only two tests in a test environment, the deployment can be carried out. The deployment time only depends on the size of your infrastructure. If I limit the company's size, it will not take too much time. So, it can be done in seven to eight hours. Regarding the deployment process, we have managed some test servers, after which we need to install some agents. If you include more servers, you need to install more agents. If you want to use agent-based, I would say that it is totally up to the stakeholder. You will get some additional benefits if you can choose the agent since you will be more assured that less positive false positive results you will get from the tool. For deployment, one test server, a few deployment servers, and some policy configurations are done by the OEM with some local support. We used some Windows servers and Linux servers, and we installed some agents in different types of operating systems. So different versions of Linux and different versions of Windows. We also integrate some network devices like firewalls to integrate firewalls and logs. So, the amount of logs and firewalls is too much. I have to engage too many employees for deployment. So there are those for Linux servers, others for Windows servers, and the rest for network devices. One for SIEM policy creation and one for SIEM management administration is also required.

Helps to monitor and detect cyberattacks
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. Trellix ESM provides situation awareness. On the dashboard, I can see outbound and inbound communications to known threat hosts, IPS/IDS activity, and threat intelligence of the perimeter defense in the firewall. This information helps preempt attacks.

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 is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"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 of this solution is the reporting."
"It has performed well and delivered the results that I have been looking for."
"I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten. The deployment is completed in two days."
"Trellix ESM utilizes fewer human resources and improves security and visibility."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
"It is easy to use and deploy. It comes with user-friendly manuals."
"It is a good central viewpoint for issues. These can then be investigated in more detail on the subnet server(s)/endpoints."
"The solution's technical support is great."
"The support I have received from the vendor has been great."
 

Cons

"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"Product currently requires Flash."
"There should be support for multitenancy in the product."
"McAfee ESM is not user-friendly and the log is not accurate. For instance, if I were assigned to generate a log for changes made today, I wouldn't be able to see all the modifications. While Palo Alto allows us to see all changes, McAfee ESM only captures one out of every ten changes. It's crucial to have visibility into all changes made."
"The initial setup is difficult and could improve."
"The only drawback is that they don't have any packet capturing or network behavior analysis."
"We would welcome integrations with some of the new McAfee acquisitions, e.g., behavioural analytics."
"I would like to see improvements to the user interface."
"I would like to see good analytics in future releases."
 

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 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."
"The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"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."
"Regarding pricing, Trellix ESM is not that expensive. It's less than half the cost of IBM QRadar."
"The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
"The pricing is fair."
