McAfee Enterprise Security Manager can be well suited to any type of business or architecture of enterprise IT infrastructure and network since it can be tailored fit to your organization needs. Just make sure that during the engagement with the vendor, you need to be clear with what systems you have, as McAfee tends to have some limitations on integrating with other systems, especially with some cloud platform wherein we needed to acquire other SIEM because McAfee isn't compatible with the function we need from it in our cloud system.
