Continuous monitoring has improved threat detection and reduces incident response time

Deepwatch could improve with more granular customization of detection rules and alert tuning to better fit specific cloud workloads and use cases. Additionally, it can be improved by enhancing the dashboarding. It should also support deeper cloud-native integrations such as AWS, Azure, and GCP, which would further improve operational efficiency and control. Regarding the support, I would say that the support team should be more responsive because ideally, the response time of the support is quite long, which is sometimes frustrating. However, I do agree that for easy issues, they respond within the expected time, but for complex issues, they do take time to respond.

Customer security is enhanced with software and update detection while licensing process needs improvement

A quick specific example of how I use Field Effect MDR to keep my customers secure is that it helps me identify computers that need updates, even when I believe they are already updated. Field Effect MDR finds software and Windows updates that aren't being completed, which I find very valuable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Deepwatch, I have seen a 40 to 50% reduction in MTTR due to faster detection and guided response playbooks, and false positives have also dropped significantly by 40 to 50% through better correlation and risk scoring, which significantly reduced SOC workload and improved analyst efficiency."

"The most valuable aspect of Field Effect Covalence is its ability to continuously monitor for and identify potential threats."

"One of the most useful and impressive features of the system is its detailed notification mechanism."

"The AROs have been incredibly helpful."

"The most valuable feature is the network traffic monitoring function."

"The most valuable aspects of Covalence for me are the exceptional customer service and the support from the dedicated team."

"A client of ours with Field Effect MDR is less likely to be a victim of a cyber attack."

"What I like the most about Field Effect Covalence is the ease of deployment, the fact that it's cost-effective to roll out, and it is reasonable."

"I like how comprehensive Field Effect Covalence is."

Cons

"Regarding the support, I would say that the support team should be more responsive because ideally, the response time of the support is quite long, which is sometimes frustrating."

"Because this is a security solution, I would recommend that they extend their support hours, and perhaps for emergencies, even to 24/7 or 24/5."

"It would be greatly beneficial to integrate compliance-related reporting directly into the portal."

"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."

"If they can include an email filter system, that would be great."

"It would be more effective if it could surgically isolate the specific malicious process instead of deleting the entire machine."

"The tagging of ARO closure has room for improvement."

"It would be incredibly valuable to have the Field Effect team handle some of the third-party application patching they're currently identifying."

"In terms of improvement, there are instances where the ARO responses are slightly slower than preferred."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is a little pricey. It is a little on the high end, but we are continuing to use it. We signed the contract and have not canceled, so we find value in having it."

"Covalence is cost-effective."

"Field Effect is fairly priced from my perspective. You get a lot of bang for the buck with this and a level of visibility that provides you with greater peace of mind knowing that the system is carefully monitored. You also have automated responses for known malicious behavior at any time of the day. Someone could have their Office 365 mailbox compromised at 2 in the morning on a Saturday when most people are asleep or not paying attention, and the system can prevent an issue in an automated way."

"The pricing is fair and reasonable."

"Field Effect Covalence's pricing is just right."

"The shift to a per-user pricing model and the introduction of a base price for the on-premises or virtual appliance has been particularly advantageous."

"We were particularly impressed with their pricing model, which charges per user rather than per system."

"The pricing is comparable to what else is out there."
