The licensing cost is based on EPS. Compared to other solutions I believe the cost is reasonable because it includes the dashboarding features that would normally need to be developed at additional costs.

It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license.

The product is slightly expensive. They offer some discount on the purchase of a certain number of nodes. They should give some concession on the license renewal as well.

When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive.

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.

I rate the price of McAfee ESM a three out of five.

McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution.

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.

We renew our license annually.

The initial setup is straightforward and easy to do. The deployment is very fast.

It's a fairly low-cost solution, so the pricing is pretty good.

The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements.

The pricing is good, and they are competitive compared to providers such as RSA and IBM QRadar.

We pay for our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

Trellix ESM's price is high. 

McAfee's pricing is competitive in the industry and their licensing model is for hardware only.

SIEM is not a Log Manager; ESM is meant for people who need advanced SOC functionality and not only to satisfy compliance rules.

The pricing is fair.

The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it.

Overall, it was expensive, as it has split components.

You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points.

The product is worth the price. There are other cheaper tools in the market, but it is harder to work with them.
