Good filtering and reporting tools but can be difficult to use
It can scale as needed. It's not a problem. There are different teams using it. We have CSOC, which is internal, which is onshore, then we have a security operations center that is offshore, which would be in India. The onshore team might be a group of three, and the offshore might be a group of five. Likely, we have eight to ten people in total using the product directly.

Beneficial AI detection, helpful support, but modern UI needed
The initial setup of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System requires a bunch of steps starting with installing the hardware and setting it up. However, most of the setup is done by the vendor. I rate the initial setup of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System an eight out of ten. The vendor provides free training in the software provided.
