Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
"The new cloud-based panel is excellent both for client review as well as for our SOC to review and respond to threats. It is much easier to configure and use than the previous solution from AlienVault.​"
"The best feature of this product is the ease of use. It is extremely easy to set up and get going. This is a very useful tool for a small organization."
"The vulnerability manager and the file integration are very good."
"The best thing about AlienVault USM is it being a “Jack-of-All Trades” solution. It provides SIEM, HIDS/NIDS, FIM, NetFlow, Asset Management, Vulnerability Management, etc., under one USM platform. None of the commercial SIEM vendors like ArcSight, McAfee, etc., can boast of such a diverse feature set."
"The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched."
"It has streamlined log aggregation and analysis to meet organizational and regulatory needs."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"Any unusual behaviour, we can monitor. We have alerts set up to be sent when we receive signs of any unusual behaviour."
 

Cons

"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."
"The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"There is room for improvement in Log parsing."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"The price of AT&T AlienVault USM could be reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."
"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"The pricing is a good value. The key thing is that for the new product, the licensing of it, is subscription-based and it's based on data. Clients need to be really careful when thinking about that, because odds are they're going to need to put a lot more data into it than what they initially estimate, which is going to drive their subscription costs up."
"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"It's very reasonably priced. It was one of the lowest among the ones I looked at. Licensing is pretty flexible. They can do a two-year or a three-year, even a one-year, perhaps."
