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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is not overly complicated."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform. It is very straightforward."
"For me, the technical support is good."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform."
"Immediately we can pick up the computers in the network if any malicious operation that is triggered."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"The interface is very good."
"The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."
"The tool provides automated responses."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"The most valuable features include the ability to raise alarms when there are issues, easier configuration compared to other vendors, centralized update management, and keeping the product updated efficiently."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
 

Cons

"It initially took some time to deploy."
"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."
"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."
"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."
"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."
"Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"The interface is not the best."
"The pricing of WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"The pricing is manageable."
"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."
"The price is comparable."
"The solution is a bit more expensive than other options."
"The price of WatchGuard is very good."
"The price is very good."
"The solution is cheap."
"There is a license required to use the solution and we pay annually. The price could be reduced because it is a bit expensive."
"The pricing is competitive."
