The biggest advantage it has the lightweight agent and smooth and less traffic chaos in network during log collection. Cloud Security always require extra efforts but InsightIDR reduce that burden as it has highly anticipated agents to which knows what they need to do when they …
Chose InsightIDR
Other products are OK, but they lack the robust permissions and their interfaces are much much less intuitive. Rapid7's prioritization system for vulnerabilities makes more sense given their context as the developers of Metasploit. We thought we might be able to switch and save …
Chose InsightIDR
We tried other solutions, but our Network, which is mostly in different locations with different OEMS , was well suited by Rapid7. Rapid7 works with different workflows and SIEM solutions, which was a requirement of the SOC solution. Visibility allows the security operation to …

Many of the top-tier providers of this technology do a comparable job. However, we selected Rapid7 because of their reputation in the area of user behavior analytics, cost, # of SOC locations (due to our selection of their MDR service), support, company growth in other areas …
Chose InsightIDR
Both products would do what we needed them to, but Rapid7 InsightIDR made more sense from a cost perspective. We did a proof of concept of both products, and they were pretty evenly matched in their own ways. Forescout had a better interface, but in the end the interface of …
Chose InsightIDR
Between Rapid7 InsightIDR and Crowdstrike, we liked Rapid7 InsightIDR due to the functionality of the system and the features Rapid7 InsightIDR has. Rapid7 InsightIDR was very easy to deploy in our environment to our endpoint devices. We like the scanning capabilities and the …

- 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 …

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 …

It has been brilliant for us in terms of understanding the behaviour affecting our endpoints and assets. We have full visibility of our alerts, which menas we can act on them immediately. We use a single pain of glass with dashboards that can be easily drilled down into to get further information. It has laso helped us eo create bespoke reports for senios Managmeent, while at the same time supports other teams like Network Mnagement and Operations.

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.

Cons
  • Sometimes Rapid7 InsightIDR will be too locked down and without knowing will block applications and processes needed for day to day operation.
  • System scans with Rapid7 InsightIDR can be very bandwidth-heavy on the network and system resources.
  • From a recent incident, we have seen more and more false positives from Rapid7 InsightIDR on areas that we know are secure.

  • 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.

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

Also during vulnerability scans, we felt that Rapid7 InsightIDR was able to detect more and any competitor out there.

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.
