"Microsoft Defender XDR provides strong identity protection with comprehensive insights into risky user behavior and potential indicators of compromise."
"The attack simulation is excellent; initially, this feature wasn't very robust, but Microsoft improved what we could achieve with it. We can now customize our practice phishing emails and include our company logo, for example. Attack simulation also helps integrate with third-party solutions where applicable and provides an overview of our security architecture through testing. The summary includes areas for improvement in our protection and what steps we need to take to get there."
"The best feature is threat hunting. There are a lot of other features I like, such as the alert mechanism. The chain alert mechanism has a huge impact. It combines all the alerts into one incident and automatically correlates them with AI."
"We can automate routine tasks and write scripts to carry out difficult tasks, which makes things easier for us."
"The visibility into threats is also very impressive because Microsoft helps you predict things and provides analytics to help you really improve your security. And all of this technology works across the domain, so it is pretty helpful in terms of threat analytics."
"The most valuable feature is probably the aggregation and correlation of the different telemetry points with Defender for Identity, Defender for Endpoint, and Defender for Cloud Apps. All of these various things are part of that portal. We've wanted that single pane of glass for years."
"Advanced hunting is good. I like that. We can drill down to lots of details."
"It's a very scalable tool that can be used in a very small environment or in a very large environment. Everything can be managed from a simple dashboard and can be scaled up or down depending on the customer's environment."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform is the large capacity it can handle. Additionally, the interface of the platform is good."
"Forescout Platform has granular features and one of the most impressive features is the agentless feature."
"The most valuable features of ForeScout is the fact that it can do network access control either with 802.1x or without 802.1x."
"The most valuable features are remote access and administration scripts."
"The user interface is quite simple."
"Forescout has a feature that blocks the endpoint at the point of collection. It sets preconditions and will block the system if those aren't met."
"Forescout CounterACT has allowed us to better open our access and control wireless access globally from our HQ. This allows us to monitor the network access for every office globally. This has improved overall security, reducing risk and opening up the opportunity to provide greater end user flexibility."
"Forescout Platform is stable, it is great."
"We love the API. We use it to generate robust reporting, and we also developed tools to perform agent actions remotely without needing to provide all IT staff with console access."
"We have had very few false positives or false negatives, which allows our analysts to focus on their work instead of dealing with noise."
"It has the ability to rollback a ransomware infection instantly and with minimal disruption to the user & provides robust reporting."
"The protection SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides to our endpoint devices in terms of cybersecurity is valuable."
"We opted for SentinelOne because it gives you visibility and control over all the devices on which you have the agent deployed. That is very valuable because, in the end, all the attacks enter only through one gateway, which is usually a user's computer."
"The solution has helped reduce our alerts."
"What I like best about SentinelOne Singularity Complete is its web-based admin interface, which allows me to go into the platform, look at the entire organization, particularly all of the sentinels or endpoints, and manage everything from there."
"I was extremely happy with their technical staff. The solution's tech support is top-notch. They have some really good engineers on their team."
"Stability could be improved by avoiding frequent changes to the interface."
"In the future, it would be beneficial for Microsoft to consider making the product more user-friendly or simplified for those who are interested in using it. Currently, it requires a high level of technical expertise, making it challenging for beginners or less experienced individuals."
"When we do investigations, it would be better if Microsoft could populate the host dashboard more. When we open any host for investigation, we want the entire timeline of what is happening on the host, including all the users logging in, their hardware, Windows version, etc."
"There could be a way to proactively monitor unusual activity ."
"The advanced threat-hunting capabilities are phenomenal, and the security copilot enhances that, but some data elements could be better or have more context inside of the advanced tables themselves. The schemas feel a little limited to what they're building into the product. It's probably just a maturity thing. I imagine we'll see the features I want in the next year."
"The mobile app support for Android and iOS is difficult and needs improvement."
"The console is missing some features that would be helpful for a managed services provider, like device and user management."
"The interface could be improved. For example, if you want to do a phishing simulation for your employees, it can take a while to figure out what to do. The interface is a bit messy and could be updated. It isn't too bad, but doing some things can be a long process."
"As a product, there is nothing to complain about. However, they should improve their overall support. You need that level of knowledge, that level of information is clearly not available. First and foremost, that information is not accessible. The second point to mention is that once you purchase the later support and services. That is, they will continue to charge you for every service."
"They should improve features related to IT security. ForeScout should analyze behavior to see if the behavior is malicious behavior and block this device. They should develop the ability to analyze the behavior of the device in my environment."
"The fact that Forescout Platform doesn't have a presence in the South African region is a weakness because of which you can't ask for help from them if you have any problems."
"Forescout Platform needs to improve how the device works in preventing rogue servers."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"Two things can be improved in the Forescout Platform. First of all, the support for some certain proprietary protocols from other vendors, but they are very widely used. If the TechEx from Cisco, was added to Forescout, then it will be a full solution for me."
"Definitely, having more third-party integration would be an improvement."
"Forescout Platform could improve the costs of integrations."
"This solution would be more attractive to customers if the price were lower."
"Their CASB tool needs to mature. I think there are some CASB vendors out there that have a dashboard tool that's much more mature than SentinelOne. That would be the only constructive criticism that I have."
"One of the things they could do is extend the product range to include Android and iPhone so that you could have the app on your phone as well. There is probably something going on there with that, but that's something that they're lacking at the moment. For instance, if I was to have to recommend a client to protect their phone, I'd have to recommend Norton or something else. I don't have an answer within the SentinelOne solution."
"The delay in updating inventory is ten minutes. If it can be improved, it will help a lot."
"We had some stability issues when we started working with SentinelOne."
"SentinelOne is making a lot of moves to acquire various companies, but the roadmap isn't clear, and it is still uncertain how the new acquisitions will integrate. For example, SentinelOne recently acquired a mobile security solution, but there is no real integration between the platforms."
"The way Singularity Complete handles blocking external mass storage is annoying because it is so difficult to unblock single endpoints."
"As a cloud-based product, there is a minimum number of licenses that need to be purchased, which is unfortunate."
