Strong security reporting has supported our consulting work and drives better integration choices
I rated Adlumin Security Operations probably the same as Huntress at eight. They are better at reporting and better integrations. The integrations in terms of the number of integrations you can run from them or connect to are not as many as available with Huntress, but they have easier implementation. Overall, I would say it is the same. I do not want to see any additional features in the next release of Adlumin Security Operations, but I would change the pricing a little bit for around SIEM integrations and SIEM data collection. That is probably the maximum I would do. I do not really have much to say because that is literally five percent of our deployments versus ninety-five percent being Huntress. My overall rating for this review is eight.

Integrated analytics have improved threat visibility and reduced manual monitoring effort
One of the areas for improvement in Sophos MDR is the amount of traffic and the VPN because when we have that much load, the hardware gets a little bit heated. So they need to look into the capacity of the hardware. Functionality-wise and features-wise for Sophos MDR, we are somewhat satisfied, but there are a lot of things we don't use even. However, the critical part is there, which we use, while most other functionalities we don't require because the more complicated the configuration we do in a security fabric, the more difficult it is to handle those types of data and readings and analytics. We have enabled only the features and functions needed, leaving the rest disabled.
