McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is used by our entire office staff. With the help of McAfee Enterprise Security Manager, we have been able to prevent - as well as identify - security threats to our organization. Every computer in our office has McAfee Enterprise Security Manager installed and I believe our office is truly safer as a result.
  • Runs on Startup
  • User-Friendly
  • Identifies Threats
  • Customer Outreach
  • IT Support
  • Overall Aesthetic
I believe that McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is best-suited for anyone in an office setting with a computer containing sensitive information. McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is constantly working to make sure that your device is free from an threats. Our field workers, however, probably wouldn't have a need for McAfee Enterprise Security Manager. They do not use computers for work and have no sensitive information stored in a work-related cloud.

  • Fewer Attacks
  • More Peace of Mind when Working
  • Improved Efficiency within the Office Staff
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.

We deploy and sell the McAfee ESM (the SIEM solution) to our clients. We had it deployed in several kinds of companies, from small companies to large organizations. From private sector to public sector. McAfee is used to monitor the events (logs) of the clients and correlate them to generate alerts regarding security threats.
  • Good parsing capability
  • Enables integrations
  • The user interface is not the best, it is still based on Flash player (but they have plans to migrate to HTML5).
  • While the "user" interface is pretty straight forward, the management interface is fairly complicated.
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.

  • ESM enables our clients to have visibility of their security incidents
  • ESM (and the ELM) provides support for compliance requirements (such as PCI)
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 everything that any other SIEM does.
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.

McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is a powerful SIEM that offers us the comfort of being in compliance with international standards in the domain of information security and helps us to assure security. Correlation of different events from different platforms is very useful and necessary. The integration with another software from McAfee is also very good (EPO, DLP).
  • Integration with other software
  • Log sources integration
  • Very user friendly interface
  • Real-time monitoring
  • Pre-defined reports
  • The system requirements are quite demanding
  • No other tool issue or operational issue was identified
Collect valuable data from hundreds of types of devices. Events correlation and offenses work very well. Notification in case of an incident also works perfectly. The configuration is easy to customize. With the Content Packs (plugins) the system is flexible for new questions or new situations. Helps in improving visibility of threat actors and helps in further prevention.

  • Improve security
  • Prevent incidents and attacks
  • Reduce the security and continuity risks
  • Correct and independent management information
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 of seconds. The ability to retain logs for a very long time.

McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is used not only for its log collection capabilities but also for its advanced threat intelligence. We are using the product as part of moving into Intel's complete suite of products, where appliance integration will bring a commonality to our incident capabilities and help with faster response times and visibility.
  • Advanced Threat intelligence gives us the ability to prioritise alerts quickly and efficiently.
  • SIEM log collection allows us to integrate our other Intel products to a centralised point.
  • Physical appliances is one of the areas we have moved away from, so the ability for ESM to be available as a VDI was key.
  • 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.

McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is well placed when the environment has other Intel products. We operate McAfee Move and the two products work extremely well together. The anti-virus product can be very cumbersome if used with another SIEM solution when log collecting.

We have other areas where intel solutions are not in use and in these circumstances we used another well-known SIEM solution that had an easier implementation phase than Intel's and where remote access was challenging.

  • Centralisation of events form NIDS/IPS/IDS, Firewall(s), Web Proxy and Endpoint
  • Ability to have third party management
  • Actively upgraded product with good vendor support

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 parser would have to be written, though AlienVault's inclusion of vulnerability management and IDS made it stand out from some of the others.

ESM had a better correlation engine and log drill through than Alert Logic, and in our scenario we were not looking for a hosted solution at the time.

ESM has a good network of partners and in the event a managed service is required the transition to this is made very easily.

  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Existing Relationship with the Vendor
The feature set was important along with usability, but the integration with our other Intel products was a key purchasing decision
If we had to evaluate again, we would look more closely at what are we trying to achieve and does it make sense to keep some of the other products we already have. A key element is to have a completely integrated suite of products all working in unison, and though this can be achieved by having a multi-vendor environment it is never as clean as a single vendor solution. Also we would look at the outsourcing of certain IT security functions, in the case of SIEM solutions it can make more sense to have this activity outsourced where the third party has a larger scope and more realtime experience of event s that are happening to other clients and can then apply the incident response to all of their customers.
