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 configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"The ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"Trellix ESM utilizes fewer human resources and improves security and visibility."
"The solution is 100% stable. We really have had a great time working with it. It hasn't let us down."
"It is easy to use."
"Trellix ESM is very user-friendly."
"The product works better than other vendors available in the market."
"We now have a better view of our security posture from an external and internal point of view."
"It blocks the things which are not to be allowed. It has an adaptive mode where it learns for itself."
"If a customer is specifically looking for log and event analysis, with the correlations, then this solution is a good choice."
 

Cons

"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"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."
"Technical support for this product could be improved."
"The support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed."
"McAfee is no more providing security updates on this product, and the enhancements to this product seem to have stopped."
"The solution needs to improve case management. The UI is confusing."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see fingerprint recognition included in the next release of this solution."
"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."
 

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."
"We renew our license annually."
"The pricing is fair."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."
"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."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"Regarding pricing, Trellix ESM is not that expensive. It's less than half the cost of IBM QRadar."
