Improved our organization by multiplying our security forces and offers customizable event detection and response
Binary Defense MDR is primarily integrated into our AWS environment, but it is made up of multiple components. My technical lead said that it was very easy to integrate into our Google Workspace environment. I did not have much involvement in the integration, but my subject matter experts said that their integration was very seamless. Binary Defense offers customizable event detection and response. For example, if we have a confidential file, we can tell Binary Defense to flag any emails or other communications that contain certain keywords. This type of customization allows us to focus on the specific events that are most important to us. Binary Defense also offers 30-day retrospectives and monitoring for employee terminations, so we can be sure that our data is protected. The Open XDR strategy made my life so much easier. It helped us to secure our infrastructure from end to end so that we can detect and remediate threats quickly and effectively. One of the biggest benefits of Open XDR is that it allows us to rely on a single partner to monitor our systems. This frees up our time so that we can focus on other aspects of security. Another benefit of Open XDR is that it is incredibly communicative. We have a Slack channel where we can quickly and easily communicate with our partners. This has been invaluable in the event of critical incidents. Binary Defense MDR improved our organization by multiplying our security forces. They filled a huge security gap by providing end-to-end monitoring of our Google Workspace and AWS environments. This gives us peace of mind knowing that someone is watching our systems 24/7. Binary Defense MDR significantly improved our security posture. They filled a major blind spot in our security program by monitoring our systems 24/7. They have also been a valuable asset to our team, helping us to pass our SOC 2 audit with flying colors. Additionally, they helped us to comply with a variety of regulatory requirements, including those of the FDA, GDPR, and HIPAA. Overall, Binary Defense MDR has been a tremendous asset to our organization and has helped us to improve our security posture significantly. We have a dashboard that shows us all the cases that Binary Defense handles. Without looking at it, I would say they handle 90 to 98 percent of our low-level alerts. This means that when they bring something to my team or me, we know that it is worth looking at. They have already looked at it and determined whether or not it is something that needs to be escalated to the client. If it is not, we can simply mark it as closed and move on. We only need to analyze about three percent of the alerts that Binary Defense looks at. This is because they automate the process of reviewing low-level alerts, freeing up our team to focus on more complex issues. Binary Defense MDR significantly reduced our IT team's workload. We could not do without them. Their services allow us to monitor a large number of alerts seamlessly and completely automated. Without Binary Defense, we would not be able to maintain our strong security posture. Binary Defense MDR saved our organization a significant amount of time. We no longer have to spend hours manually searching for and investigating security threats. Instead, Binary Defense's team of experts does this for us 24/7. This freed up our time to focus on other important tasks, such as developing new products and services.

Offers robust real-time monitoring capabilities but issues with stability of the solution
The deployment could definitely be improved. We still have some of the RedCloak agents. They don't have a remote-controlled uninstall. You have to manually connect to every machine to remove it. Taegis, that's not an issue with Taegis. Taegis actually does work that way. You can remove it. We push it out from Intune. But the RedCloak has tied it even after supposedly running the uninstall; it's still there. In future releases, if Taegis could come with bundled AV. It would be a great feature, which was actually one of the reasons why we moved to CrowdStrike because of the bundled solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's valued at the right price. Even with the number of endpoints we have, we don't feel that it's a lot more than any competitor. In fact, it might be less expensive when you look at the fact that you're getting a full flex SOC out of it along with the tools."
"The pricing isn't that bad, it's very competitive. I don't feel that it's over-priced and I don't feel that it's under-priced."
"Binary Defense has changed its pricing model from being primarily based on the volume of data to one based on escalations and incidents they handle."
"The pricing is very good. They are definitely competitive and they were lower at the time that we went with them."
"From the initial cost that Binary Defense came in with, we pared it down quite a bit over the course of 30 or 60 days. My leadership would say that their cost was high, but realistically, they were in line with the market."
"Binary Defense MDR is priced competitively and may be slightly lower than CrowdStrike."
"The pricing is on target. Working with their sales team on pricing negotiations was a pleasant process. They were very respectful of the constraints we had and I feel that we're paying a fair price."
"The solution's price is spot on; if anything, it's slightly below the norm for most services. Compared to building the same team internally, it would cost more to create the same amount of capability than what we get from an external team. Price-wise, Binary Defense is in a great spot."
Information not available
"The price is kind of on par. The licensing was comparable to other solutions. It's not particularly high or low."
"The Red Cloak agent is free."
"The pricing for this solution is reasonable. One agent costs approximately 270 dirhams/70 USD for one year. There is a reduction in cost per licence as the number of licences used increases."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
"Initially, the cost was going to be something around $160 or $170. And eventually, I think they brought it down to $110 and they also threw in some endpoint protection platforms."
"The pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR is very expensive and could be more cost-effective."
