We performed a comparison between Trellix ESM and Trellix Helix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."You can fine-tune the SOAR and you'll be charged only when your playbooks are triggered. That is the beauty of the solution because the SOAR is the costliest component in the market today... but with Sentinel it is upside-down: the SOAR is the lowest-hanging fruit. It's the least costly and it delivers more value to the customer."
"The automation rules and playbooks are the most useful that I've seen. A number of other places segregate the automation and playbook as separate tools, whereas Microsoft is a SIEM and SOAR tool in one."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"The Identity Behavior tab furnishes us with the entire history linked to each IP or domain that has either accessed or attempted to access our system."
"I like the ability to run custom KQL queries. I don't know if that feature is specific to Sentinel. As far as I know, they are using technology built into Azure's Log Analytics app. Sentinel integrates with that, and we use this functionality heavily."
"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."
"Investigations are something really remarkable. We can drill down right to the raw logs by running different queries and getting those on the console itself."
"We can use Sentinel's playbook to block threats. It covers all of the environment, giving us great visibility."
"It blocks the things which are not to be allowed. It has an adaptive mode where it learns for itself."
"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation rules."
"McAfee as a whole is a good solution."
"It is a good central viewpoint for issues. These can then be investigated in more detail on the subnet server(s)/endpoints."
"It is easy to use and deploy. It comes with user-friendly manuals."
"It has performed well and delivered the results that I have been looking for."
"It is user-friendly. The notification part of McAfee ESM is very easy."
"The product offers very strong automation. Our cyber security analysts don't have to correlate the information to detect problems. They only need to analyze problems that have been identified by the platform."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"I like that it's easy. It's got the protection set up, and we can see whatever is required. We write our own rules and the rules that we can input. I think it is good."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
"The integration is very useful and very easy. You can have an API connection with any cloud and I'll be able to do both ways of communication with the help of APA."
"It is kind of simple and very easily deployable. You can start working with it very fast."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"We have been working with multiple customers, and every time we onboard a customer, we are missing an essential feature that surprisingly doesn't exist in Sentinel. We searched the forums and knowledge bases but couldn't find a solution. When you onboard new customers, you need to enable the data connectors. That part is easy, but you must create rules from scratch for every associated connector. You click "next," "next," "next," and it requires five clicks for each analytical rule. Imagine we have a customer with 150 rules."
"Microsoft Sentinel is relatively expensive, and its cost should be improved."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"Sentinel provides decent visibility, but it's sometimes a little cumbersome to get to the information I want because there is so much information. I would also like to see more seamless integration between Sentinel and third-party security products."
"Sentinel's reporting is complex and can be more user-friendly."
"I believe one of the challenges I encountered was the absence of live training sessions, even with the option to pay for them."
"When it comes to ingesting Azure native log sources, some of the log sources are specific to the subscription, and it is not always very clear."
"We'd like to see more connectors."
"It cannot integrate with our Next-Generation Firewall and few applications such as Cisco ACI."
"It seems McAfee does test its product before releasing. When we - not only us, other companies also - deploy McAfee, we face multiple issues from the customer side, after which, McAfee reacts and fixes the bugs."
"The only issue I have with McAfee is the amount of computer resources that it takes... it's definitely impacting some of the other applications that are running on a computer at the same time."
"Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard."
"Product-wise, adding accounts on a single data source by batch would be a really great help."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"The graphical user interface could be improved. It's not easy to handle and it's not easy for a customer or end-user to learn how to manage the solution."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
"Sometimes the rules are disabled by FireEye, and we basically get it after the patch. I think there needs to be a better way of creating the application rules. I would like to see better pricing for our licensing."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
