LogPoint vs. Trellix Enterprise Security Manager

LogPoint is incredibly useful for pulling information from various log sources and combining them together to offer insights into suspicious or potentially malicious behaviour. It is not intuitive and can take some time to get used to. Once you're up and running though, it's easy to onboard new log sources. Search queries can again be tough to get used to, but LogPoint support is really helpful and can offer assistance with writing more complex searches.

McAfee is a good solution if you're in a medium/large company and if you're looking for a solution that can be customized and expanded. I also recommend if you have the most common log sources on your environment, since McAfee supports the major log sources (but lack a lot of small vendors). In my opinion, I wouldn't recommend McAfee for small companies, since it's not that easy to manage and maintain.

• Technical support team is fast and competent
• License management and cost
• Log parsing
• New logs can be provided to the support team for parser creation
• High Availability architecture does not cost more

• McAfee Enterprise Security Manager has a large library of pre-made correlations that reduces the amount of work needed to make it functional.
• This is a core McAfee product that is still getting support.
• It has a substantial amount of compatibility and integration with other products.

• Stability (weird issues)
• Transparency (hard to investigate issues)
• Search template should be improved

• If there is a requirement to integrate into other vendor products i.e. (log sharing) then this was very cumbersome.
• Integration of vulnerability scanning that is available in other vendor products would be a good addition.
• When integrating all of Intel's products a third party consultancy is usually required, where other vendor products can be configured without this additional cost.

LogPoint has quite a steep learning curve. The UI is not intuitive, with some bits of functionality being hidden in places you might not think to look. The search syntax is also quite difficult to master. However, once you overcome these obstacles, LogPoint is actually very easy to use.

Support team is very fast to answer and very kind.

Dealing with the McAfee support is a lottery. Sometimes you reach them and it's a really experienced engineer, but sometimes it's a person with no clue on the tool. We had few cases where our internal engineers knew more about the tool than the McAfee support. However, sometimes we get hold of some really good engineers that know the tool from inside out

Really nice person with huge skills on LogPoint

LogPoint is easier to implement and less expensive.

McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is a better option than other security software because it's both inexpensive and extremely effective. Norton and other security software boast a high price tag but don't always back it up when it comes to performance. With McAfee Enterprise Security Manager, I know I'm getting a quality product for a fair price.

• It effectively blocks potential attacks from outside.
• It aids us in doing more effective root-cause analysis whenever an incident occurs, since it gives us enough details to understand what went wrong.
