Scalable platform with intuitive features for detecting malicious files

The initial setup process is straightforward. We have to install the agent, create a package, and deploy it on servers. It has a prebuilt console managed by the cloud team of Cybereason. We don't have to worry about the console and concentrate on endpoint implementation. It takes ten days to deploy it on 10,000 devices.

An automated solution that helped me detect threats in less than half the time it used to take

Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network. We also got multiple kinds of logs. By running some queries from the logs, we could find and fix the anomalies in the environment. Sentinel's threat visibility was great at telling us if we had something going on in our environment. We had to set up alerts in our environment based on the logs. If we had the right alerts set up, we got notified about threats and where security was lacking, so we could also take care of that. Sentinel's threat intelligence helped us prepare and take proactive steps for potential threats before they hit. Having preparation before a threat has helped our security operations. When I was using it, I used to keep going into my dashboards and looking for any threats on a weekly basis, or maybe two or three times a week. Based on that, we would recommend certain changes to the server and infrastructure teams to block or allow some ports. Sentinel's threat intelligence helped plan security against risks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform. It is very straightforward."

"For me, the technical support is good."

"It gives all the information in a clear response."

"We didn't have the visibility that we now have. It has increased our visibility by a lot. So, we put a lot more time into really looking at our environment and what is happening throughout our different networks. It has increased our visibility by around fivefold."

"The initial setup process is straightforward."

"Cybereason's threat hunting and investigation are the most valuable features. Threat hunting is a user-friendly feature that keeps you safe. Investigation offers an added value that I haven't seen with other EDR services. It allows you to find specific policy problems within your environment."

"Immediately we can pick up the computers in the network if any malicious operation that is triggered."

"Cybereason absolutely enables us to mitigate and isolate on the fly. Our managed detection response telemetry has dropped dramatically since we began using it. It's very top-of-mind. We were running some tabletop exercises and none of the detections were getting triggered by the managed security services provider. So we needed to find a solution that would trigger high-fidelity alerts. That was Cybereason and it dramatically changed our landscape from the detection and response perspective."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"We can do advanced hunting queries and modify SQL queries to get desired results based on the rules triggering over the console."

"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources."

"The tool is simple to use."

"Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."

"The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this."

"The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."

"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."

More Sentinel pros

Cons

"I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping."

"The product's reporting isn't great."

"Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business."

"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor."

"There can be problems with the EDI."

"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."

"It initially took some time to deploy."

"Reporting could be a bit more granular so that we had the ability to check regions and countries. I just noticed that, for instance, if I look at our servers, it's either "contained" or it's "not contained". I don't have the option, for instance, to look at countries. It only allows me to look at users as one big group."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms."

"The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations."

"You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced."

"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."

"It is an ancient product."

"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."

"This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions."

"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"

More Sentinel cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."

"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."

"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."

"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."

"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"The solution’s pricing is aligned with its competitors."

"We inquired about getting support from the vendor, Micro Focus, but the cost was very high."

"We receive a pricing discount because of our ongoing partnership with Micro Focus."

"Sentinel's slightly on the expensive side."

"Sentinel is a subscription-based solution."

"Sentinel is moderately priced."
