Microsoft SentinelTrellix Enterprise Security Manager
Considered Both Products
Microsoft Sentinel
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
We decided to go with Microsoft Sentinel because it works really well with Microsoft tools we are already using. Microsoft Sentinel's intelligent features detect and resolve problems more quickly than Sumo Logic. It also allows us to pay for what we use and grow as we need. …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Well, primarily we use different stuff like CrowdStrike. We use different sign-on features. We primarily use those different products because we support a wider ecosystem.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Splunk, Google, SecOps. I look at how it stacks up based on the fact that it's the primary solution that we sell. So I think it stacks up really well. Why do we select it? Well, we selected it primarily because we're a very large Microsoft partner. The technology is very good …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Well before there was Microsoft Sentinel, you had other competing products like ArcSight or Splunk, et cetera. I think they have their own qualities, but the Microsoft integration story is really why we're using it.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
In my opinion, Microsoft Sentinel is much more reliable and Trustworthy. They are a bigger name with bigger scope of use.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
We use intune to protect endpoints and we pull logs from all the endpoints through the intune connector into the Microsoft Sentinel SIEM and that way we can run rules on those logs to find anomalies.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Elastic seems to have a much better interface for log search and is able to filter out noise. Microsoft Sentinel also appears to generate a lot of false positives.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Elastic is some carbon for various use cases. So because Elastic is a very, very wrong history in the market. So Sentinel is very recent for products from my understanding.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Well, we didn't select, we selected Sentinel for our Azure stuff, our Microsoft stuff, but we do use a different SIEM for the other stuff still.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Prior to using Sentinel, we were using Splunk specifically Splunk Enterprise Security and Splunk Cloud, so their on-prem and their cloud-based products. We switched originally for cost reasons, specifically cost control, but I have found that the ability to create reports, the …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
We've used Splunk before, but it really is just pick your poison. They're all very similar.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Based on the overall infrastructure configuration that we have and also after analysing various solutions provided by Microsoft Sentinel, we came to a conclusion that the Microsoft Sentinel is the best option for us to help us in overall threat detection on our custom servers, …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Sentinel AI makes it a better choice. Also, its flexibility and customization make it a bit more costly than other competitors.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
I use most of the Sims that are out there, but RSAs, old Sim Log, logic, elastic, a lot of them. Sumo, we checked out Sumo too. We're a Microsoft shop and live almost entirely on top of a Microsoft ecosystem. We are considering other Microsoft security products to integrate …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
The SecureWorks product is a more mature product. We prefer the SecureWorks product over Microsoft Sentinel at this point.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
As mentioned, the product was part of the purchase of several Microsoft Suites that we did earlier last year and with 200 licenses included, we can exclude those from the other SIEM and SOAR product, it just work well with the Microsoft's environment that we partially have
Is …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
The key advantage of using Sentinel lies in Microsoft already being a renowned name in cloud services. Hence, the Collection of data at the cloud scale across all users, devices, applications, and infrastructure, both on-premises and especially in the MS Cloud, is super easy. …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
ArcSight is an on-prem solution that has a different approach than Sentinel.

In a basis this product is more complex to maintain and deploy. The query functionality in Sentinel is more powerful and easier to maintain. ArcSight has a much slower performance and an interface that …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
We checked, McAfee Enterprise Security Manager (ESM).
In my opinion, Microsoft Sentinel is beter wit AI capacity and good community.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
We don't need to maintain a third-party SaaS solution or spend any time integrating it since Microsoft Sentinel is the ideal option to give a single point of attack detection and alert monitoring.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Microsoft Sentinel really goes the extra mile when it comes to an SIEM that slowly improves toward a proper SOAR, this may be the best selling point of the entire solution. Highly scalable, cloud-based, and nearly perfect when dealing with Microsoft-based infrastructures, …
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
No, this is the only one.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Most of those have been out in the industry for a longer time, so they have a lot more user friendliness to them. So I'd say it's in the mix. It's just not as high as it should be or I would expect it to be.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
Previous to Azure Sentinel, we were using the McAfee SIM and it just wasn't keeping up with the times and that was the choice of moving to Azure Sentinel.
Chose Microsoft Sentinel
We just stick with Sentinel because it works well with our Suite Office 65.
Trellix Enterprise Security Manager
Chose Trellix Enterprise Security Manager
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 …

Other evaluated products: Microsoft Defender and Symantec
- McAffee has more comprehensive integrated tools that better serve our infrastructure
- Analysts found the use of the tool more intuitive
Chose Trellix Enterprise Security Manager
McAfee is not the easiest tool to use. The user interface (specially the admin part) is fairly confusing.
At first, McAfee is very overwhelming and not so easy to understand. However, once you get used to the tool, you get used to the interface and you're able to do pretty much …
Chose Trellix Enterprise Security Manager
We had used McAfee Enterprise Security Manager for a long time, and it served us well. It is great since it can serve as an all-in security tool. Also, it was a great deal for our organization, since it came bundled with our manager network security.
Chose Trellix Enterprise Security Manager
We selected McAfee Enterprise Security Manager because the pricing is competitive in the industry. It is very reliable. The vendor offers good support in real time. Offers the results that we have been looking for. The ability to get the logs may be of last 2 years in a matter …
Chose Trellix Enterprise Security Manager
We selected and implemented McAfee Enterprise Security Manager because is the best SIEM solution from the market. With a very good support from the vendor. Easy implementation and easy management. A lot of threats addressed. High level of security assured. Very good resilience. …
Chose Trellix Enterprise Security Manager
Splunk tends to be the top dog in the space. Everything is compatible and it's capable of anything. You just have to have the time and money to do the work. And if you have a large volume of logs (and who doesn't?), it's not cheap. McAfee Enterprise Security Manager's advantage …
Chose Trellix Enterprise Security Manager

We looked at a few products, these were AlienVault, ESM, LogRhythm and Alert Logic.

ESM at the time had more functionality and a friendlier and cleaner user interface than LogRhythm

ESM had an ability to integrate easily into Intel's endpoint solution versus AlienVault where a …

Likelihood to Recommend
We use it because when a user sees the suspicious activity on his account, Microsoft Sentinel gives alerts to the user's system and the admin system as well. When a user of one of our systems clicked a spam email, that email was trying to install a virus on our server, but Microsoft Sentinel gave an alert to the user and admin both, so that is why our team was able to fix that issue with Microsoft Sentinel very fast. However, it will not be the best option for you if your team is utilizing every feature but you are on a tight budget.

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.

Pros
  • It is a good tool for threat detection and analysis of the threats. We are using this tool for real time threat detection on our employee machines as well as some servers.
  • It provides various options for collecting data sources by leveraging multiple sources using data connectors. This helps us in gathering data from multiple sources such as our servers as well as our employee machines.
  • One good thing about this tool is automated incident response thereby increasing the security of servers.

  • 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.

Cons
  • It takes some time to learn how to use and install it properly, and it does not connect effectively with external PaaS systems such as Salesforce CRM, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and so on.
  • Microsoft can simplify the display of the logs to make them easier to study, and the user interface occasionally delays, which can also be enhanced.

  • 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.

Usability
The Microsoft Azure Sentinel solution is very good and even better if you use Azure. It's easy to implement and learn how to use the tool with an intuitive and simple interface. New updates are happening to always bring new news and improve the experience and usability. The solution brings reliability as it is from a very reliable manufacturer.

Azure Sentinel is very easy to use and configure. If you are stuck somewhere, Microsoft support is excellent in assisting and solving your issue.

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

Alternatives Considered
Microsoft Sentinel excels in cloud-native scalability, Microsoft ecosystem integration, and AI-driven threat detection with UEBA and Fusion rules, offering faster deployment and lower costs (48% cheaper per Forrester) than Splunk, QRadar, Exabeam, SentinelOne, Securonix, and Wazuh. It lags in third-party integrations and syslog parsing. Organizations choose Microsoft Sentinel for its cost-effectiveness, automation, and Microsoft synergy, especially in Azure-heavy environments, though Splunk and Exabeam lead in flexibility and UEBA, respectively.

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.

Return on Investment
  • As any cybersecurity product, this has to be more with risk to avoid loss in case of a ransomware that more than relate to a productivity increase. Maybe the impact could be that instead of having people that are checking 24/7 the dashboard, you could implement Sentinel and have less people checking that or people with less expertise. So the saving will be a minor but will be a saving in the cost of your team.

  • 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.
