Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
"The dynamic analysis feature in Cuckoo Sandbox is excellent compared to others."
"The scalability is an eight out of ten."
"The pricing, if compared to other products, is cheap."
"The stability is great."
"It's light. I almost don't know that I am using it."
"I like everything about ESET Endpoint Security, and as an installer, it's very easy to install the solution, but the most important feature is that it helps defend against any virus. When the virus comes, ESET Endpoint Security stops it."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus for the endpoints."
"This is a product at the top of its game. That is the reason we choose to support and sell it."
"The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
 

Cons

"I want the command to be quicker."
"It lacks correlation with other types of information, such as explaining why a particular file was modified or identifying the specific process responsible."
"The only issue is with the installation, which requires some adjustments."
"Cuckoo Sandbox could improve its signature detection because it currently only shows simple file modifications and connections to different botnets."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"We do get false positives."
"The solution could improve by having higher-level security and reporting."
"The solution lacks the automation I need."
"ESET Endpoint Security could improve EDR integration."
"We would like to see more options in the help menu for users."
"The adware module could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to pay five to ten thousand dollars for this solution."
"It's a cost-effective product"
"It is just under $20 a user per year, and there are no additional costs. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of pricing."
"The pricing can be a bit more flexible."
"For 200 or so users, it might cost around $10,000 or so. That is for a first-time purchase. A renewal may come in at $7,000 to $8,000, or around 20% to 30% less. This is a rough estimate of what to expect."
"I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten. It is neither cheap nor expensive for our clients."
"Pricing for ESET Endpoint Security could be lower because here in Hungary, it's expensive."
"This is not an expensive product."
"You need to pay for the ESET Endpoint Antivirus license monthly or yearly, whichever you choose."
