We performed a comparison between Sentinel and Trellix ESM 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."The data connectors that Microsoft Sentinel provides are easy to integrate when we work with a Microsoft agent."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"The machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"The ability of all these solutions to work together natively is essential. We have an Azure subscription, including Log Analytics. This feature automatically acts as one of the security baselines and detects recommendations because it also integrates with Defender. We can pull the sysadmin logs from Azure. It's all seamless and native."
"The Log analytics are useful."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because unlike legacy SIEMs that were on-premises, it does not require as much maintenance."
"The connectivity and analytics are great."
"The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources."
"One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this."
"The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure."
"Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."
"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."
"It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. Over the years I have always been using this solution and have become comfortable with it."
"The product’s most valuable feature is log monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
"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 user-friendly. The notification part of McAfee ESM is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is that if the scanning does find something, it quarantines it. Then you can decide what you are going to do with it."
"We do see continuous improvement all the time, however, I haven't got a specific feature that is lacking or not well designed."
"Sentinel's reporting is complex and can be more user-friendly."
"We've seen delays in getting the logs from third-party solutions and sometimes Microsoft products as well. It would be helpful if Microsoft created a list of the delays. That would make things more transparent for customers."
"I would like to be able to monitor applications outside of the Azure Cloud."
"Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks."
"Its documentation is not so simple. It is easy for somebody who is Microsoft certified or more closely attached to Microsoft solutions. It is not easy for those who are working on open-source platforms. There isn't a central point where everything is documented, and there is no specific training or certification."
"The product can be improved by reducing the cost to use AI machine learning."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"Log source integration with Sentinel needs to be improved."
"The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations."
"It is an ancient product."
"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"
"There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."
"There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms."
"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."
"This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions."
"We would welcome integrations with some of the new McAfee acquisitions, e.g., behavioural analytics."
"There's no software support from McAfee."
"The support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed."
"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."
"We cannot add new data sources to the most recent version."
"I would like to see improvements to the user interface."
"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 product’s alert response feature needs improvement. It could be more flexible and secure."
