Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In Microsoft 365 vendor products, monitoring and connectivity across all Microsoft and third-party connectors enable viewing of all activity within those environments.""The comprehensiveness of Microsoft's threat detection is good.""My clients like Defender's file integrity monitoring. They're monitoring Windows and Linux system files.""Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution.""The summarization of emails is a valuable feature.""We are connected to Microsoft and have every laptop enrolled. This acts as an endpoint. The tool helps me check security and compliance. I can also check what a device is doing.""Microsoft Defender XDR is scalable.""We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Pros →

"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation.""The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."

More Cybereason XDR Pros →

"The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication.""They have recently updated the features and the most valuable ones are the instant threat response, ease of use, web interface, integration, and easy access. RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very compatible with other solutions and technologies. However, they do not rely on third-party solutions and have most features built-in.""It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues.""The log correlation is good.""RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility.""Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files.""This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."

Cons
"There should be better information for experts on features in the solution. What I see when reading about features in Microsoft 365 Defender is that it is always general information. If Microsoft could go deeper into details for the experts about how to use the tools, usage of it would be more familiar and it would be easier to use.""Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs.""Correctly updated records are the most significant area for improvement. There have been times when we were notified of a required fix; we would carry out the fix and confirm it but still get the same notification a week later. This seems to be a delay in records being updated and leads to false reporting, which is something that needs to be fixed.""Sometimes, configurations take much longer than expected.""The user interface of Microsoft 365 Defender could improve. They could make it simpler.""In the Microsoft Azure Portal, in Active Directory, if there is anything on the user it will provide you with the information, but you still have to go through it a bit. And sometimes, I have experienced difficulties in understanding the information, especially because the synchronization between Microsoft Intune and the devices that are connected to the user in Azure Active Directory takes a lot of time.""The mobile app support for Android and iOS is difficult and needs improvement.""I personally have not seen much evidence of how Defender can enhance the story of zero trust for enterprises."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Cons →

"Cybereason's customer support could be better.""The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."

More Cybereason XDR Cons →

"The solution lacks a reporting engine.""RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration.""This solution needs an upgrade in reporting. I have heard from RSA that they are working on this, but as of yet it is not available.""When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something.""NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious.""The integration of the solution needs to be improved. The dashboard needs lots of updates as well. In the next release, we would like to see advanced fraud detection features.""The initial setup requires a high level of skill.""The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solutions price is fair for what they offer."
  • "The price could be better. Normally, the costs depend on the country you're located in for the license. When we were in the initial stage, we went with the E5 license they call premium standard. It cost us around $5.20 per month for four users."
  • "The price of the solution is high compared to others and we have lost some customers because of it."
  • "Microsoft is not competitive with the pricing of the solution. The competitors are able to offer lower discounts. The price of the solution is higher."
  • "We have a lot of problems in Latin America regarding the price of Microsoft 365 Defender, because the relationship between dollars and the money of the different countries, it's is a lot. Many customers that have small businesses say that they would like the solution but it is too expensive. However, large companies do not find the cost an issue."
  • "The most valuable licensing option is expensive, so pricing could be improved. Licensing options for this solution also need to be consolidated, because they frequently change."
  • "Microsoft should provide lower-level licensing options. They should do it in such a way that even an individual could purchase a license, and it should be entirely flexible."
  • "They have moved from a licensing model to pay-per-use... The question is: What happens if, for any reason, there's not enough budget to accept this model? That could be a great problem."
  • More Microsoft Defender XDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
  • More Cybereason XDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "With RSA, there is flexibility in choosing the service, products, and the range that meets your requirement, as well as they are flexible in terms of pricing."
  • "They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."
  • "It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."
  • "I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."
  • "The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."
  • "It is an expensive product."
  • "The price of the solution depends on the environment. If the environment is large then it will cost more. However, the larger the environment with more endpoints, you will receive an increased discount. If the environment is very small, then you might think it is expensive. It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."
  • "The pricing is not very economical. It is a quite costly product for India. One thing is that when you purchase it, you have to purchase a module separately."
