Saves money, helps reduce false positives, and has excellent customization capabilities

Sometimes, something may not install right; however, whenever we have challenges, they are very solution-oriented and ready to figure things out. While my understanding is that they're working on this, I would like to see some more of the quantification or reporting. They're working on better detecting the impact they're having and what they're working on. That's an area they should continue to focus on. Having those metrics will be valuable. They just need to continue to be focused on Open MDR, and on being open to many tools and being broadly compatible across tool sets if possible. That's unique, and it is a differentiator in the marketplace.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Binary Defense MDR is priced competitively and may be slightly lower than CrowdStrike."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"After we acquired this platform, we met with a number of different vendors. Binary Defense came in with a proposal that was surprisingly affordable. In fact, we were able to recoup the cost of their services within a short period of time. This is because Binary Defense is able to provide the same level of security as a team of two or three in-house analysts but at a fraction of the cost. As a result, Binary Defense is saving us an estimated $250,000 to $300,000 per year."

"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."

"I find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."

"The pricing is pretty competitive."

"The pricing is fair."

"It is more expensive than CrowdStrike, but it also has more features. I don't remember the amount, but I do remember that it was on the higher side. I believe we have five sensors, and the sensors have a yearly cost. We don't have any additional costs, but I know that if we have more features, they will add to the cost."
