Kimberly Brock - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time threat detection has improved with comprehensive asset scanning
The threat intelligence feature is expected to be a significant advantage. However, a section for software inventory and real-time comparison with current CVEs would be beneficial. One can review an inventory of assets being scanned, including a software inventory along with CVE updates based on a company's software subscriptions, would be a game changer.

Stable solution with a good customer support service

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution works well for our team as it offers a hands-off approach, which we need."
"Whenever there is a major thing like Exchange vulnerabilities, it scans our Exchange server for indicators of compromise. It then alerts us and points exactly where we need to go to check for ourselves if it is normal or not."
"The tool definitely saves money for our company's customers."
"They provide useful quarterly updates."
"Having quarterly meetings with the team to review the last 90 days and determine what if any changes need to be made."
"Security protection is the best feature of this product."
"The visibility into our endpoints is huge."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the managed detection and response component."
"The installation was straightforward."
"It is a very scalable solution."
 

Cons

"We need an easier way to audit and act on agents."
"It's nitpicky; however, if it could integrate with more of our products, like our CRM, that would be ideal. They may only integrate with Salesforce. We use a different mid-market CRM."
"While it isn't a regular occurrence, there have been some gaps in response to some support questions. Questions get answered, yet there are times it takes longer than I'm comfortable with."
"I have heard that the tool doesn't go right to the endpoints."
"We get a lot of false alarms, but that's because they don't know our network in detail. I think that could be alleviated if we told them more about our network so they could create rules to skip some of those things."
"I would like to see them build the ability to co-sell an EDR platform, manage an EDR or manage the actual response, potentially from the issues that are coming up from the security risks."
"It can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."
"If you are not in the security field, this can be difficult to figure out from time to time."
"Its user interface could be better."
"The only feature needing improvement which comes to mind is the need for better pricing for the licensing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is pretty competitive."
"I find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"I believe there is a per-seat license"
"It is an expensive solution."
