Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The out of the box reports and dashboard. It was easy to trim down these windows to something we could quickly use."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is the analysis and the knowledge about the incidence that we trace."
"SolarWinds is effective for server, network, and log monitoring. It's also good for IP address management. We also have a patch manager, but we're still working on getting that operational."
"It's extremely easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the visibility into both attempted and failed logins."
"Some of the rules are most valuable because you can be notified about various things, such as spyware or things that are going on in the internal network."
"It's easy to build rules and actions based on the logs and event types we collect with the software."
"It supports high availability, which is very helpful."
"I like the ease of deployment."
"The solution's technical support is great."
"Compared to other solutions, the user interface is good."
"It can be easily deployed with the other solutions."
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it."
"I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten. The deployment is completed in two days."
"Trellix ESM is very user-friendly."
"It won't tell you when your backups are failing, but it will give you hints when your database is running on full recovery."
"One of the drawbacks of being so flexible is that it is also a fairly complicated software application to install, configure, and maintain."
"There are no multiple dashboards which would allow you to see information side-by-side."
"The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution."
"It can be difficult for users who are inexperienced with the solution."
"I would like to be able to dig deeper into the visibility of events or incidents to determine whether they are malicious, such as by doing behavior analysis."
"I don't think SolarWinds is scalable enough. It is somewhat limited when I need to deploy it across multiple environments in a distributed architecture."
"There is no correlation made between log entries, so no threat information is presented."
"I would like to see good analytics in future releases."
"Product currently requires Flash."
"Update to user interface from version 9 is cosmetic in some aspects, and after a few clicks you are back on the old interface."
"The disk space needed for events is not clear. In all clients, we had at least more than 100GB free that we could not use."
"McAfee is no more providing security updates on this product, and the enhancements to this product seem to have stopped. Moreover, we don't get proper support, and we struggle to get its support. It would be good if they can add some AI engine and out of the box use cases because it is currently limited to the same scenario and the same setup. I have done a POC for Securonix, LogRhythm. These products are much more ahead as compared to McAfee ESM. They have included multiple modules in the same solution. Correlation is very easy. If McAfee ESM can improve, especially in such implementations, then I believe it would be much better."
"There's no software support from McAfee."
"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 support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed."
