Comprehensive risk analysis helps identify key performance trends but report access needs improvement
My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow. The moment I select from the entire list of repositories in my vertical, which is almost more than 400 repositories, it takes a lot of time for me to load the report. Sometimes it fails. I do not have Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). It's only given to the application security team, and Apiiro as a vendor does not have the rollback access control enabled for the clients, so that would have given me access to the reports tab, which would have made my life easier. Currently, I have to go to the risks tab to pull out all this information. I started exploring dashboards with Copilot. I need to reach out to the Apiiro teams to see if I can get an access token so that I can pull out a Power BI dashboard. I think Apiiro definitely has its own capabilities, but if there are access tokens that teams can use to build a custom dashboard, that would be great. This might already exist, but that is something which will ease the vulnerability management day-to-day activities.

Gained trusted 24/7 threat coverage and now focus security efforts on architecture and design
In my experience, the best features Red Canary offers are their team, their monitoring team, their expertise at incident investigation, and a focus on suspicious or actual indicators of compromise to ensure that we're not spending time just reviewing logs, but that we're actually looking at things that may indicate we have broader issues. The Red Canary team's expertise stands out compared to others I've worked with because their team is organized into smaller pods that support a given number of clients, so they're not just a bevy of operators going around the clock. The teams themselves have coordination and cohesion, and they get to know us. Their integrations into the different platforms and systems that we use all line up with our needs, whereas a number of other platforms offered a different variety of integrations that did not line up with our requirements. Red Canary has positively impacted my organization because I don't have to spend and hire resources to look at logs, which has enabled us to do much more in terms of improving security across the organization. With the freed-up resources, we've been able to implement CSPM, SAST, software testing tooling, and engage much more closely with our developers and engineers to focus on secure architecture and design.

Pros

"Apiiro's secrets detection feature has saved us several times, which we appreciate greatly."

"Red Canary has positively impacted my organization because I don't have to spend and hire resources to look at logs, which has enabled us to do much more in terms of improving security across the organization."
"I recommended Red Canary to my friends who work in other organizations."
"The near real-time review translates into near real-time action. So, in addition to alerting, Red Canary MDR has response playbooks built out."
"The valuable features of this solution are it integrates well with different EDR software, such CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black, and the information it provides is helpful."
"I am satisfied with this solution and it is very competitive with other similar EDR or MDR solutions because it provides very impressive information about the root cause of the threat, such as malware."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part."
 

Cons

"My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow."
"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."
"User management is a little bit clunky."
"Red Canary's pricing spectrum may not be ideal for smaller financial institutions."
"The most valuable feature of Red Canary MDR is the overall threat protection it provides."
"Red Canary can be improved by continuing to add new features and capabilities to what they are looking at, including the types of data they're looking at and the types of systems that they're integrating with."
"In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users."
"I would like there to be an on-premise version of this solution for our data centers because of the proliferation of online threats."
"I wish Red Canary could have a graph that shows the endpoint, user, and how it spreads, providing a visual representation to easily identify what happened."
"The price could always be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Red Canary MDR I use is an open-source tool."
"I have not compared Red Canary to other solutions to know if the price is high or low. However, I have found the price of this solution fair and reasonable, it cost approximately $100 per year, per device. If they could provide the solution for $50 per year, per device, it would be better."
"The solution could vary in price depending on how many endpoints a company has."
