We performed a comparison between Field Effect Covalence and LMNTRIX Active Defense based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the SIEM and the ticketing function; the latter is very smooth and easy to read and understand. We don't have any issues looking at the ticketing information when we're trying to identify what's going on."
"The most valuable feature is reviewing tickets and the notes added by technicians."
"Among the valuable features are the agent, continuous reporting, and dashboard. It has all the features we need and we haven't had to customize it, other than turning on certain features that we wanted."
"The speed at which their services are reactive is valuable. Nowadays, when a threat hits an endpoint, you've got minutes, not hours or days. Their average response time is about four minutes on an alert. For anything that needs to be sent to us, it's about fourteen minutes, which is pretty good. They're the third SOC that I've used in fifteen years. By far, they are the quickest ones to act. When you're looking at prevention, that's a key factor."
"Binary Defense's most valuable feature is the 24/7 monitoring and threat hunting. Their team checks the latest breaches and how they're done."
"The customization has been the most valuable aspect and was really the reason we ended up selecting Binary Defense. They worked with us to provide exactly the level of support, features, response, and collaboration we needed."
"The best part about Binary Defense MDR is that it runs on everything, and they keep an eye on things 24/7."
"One of the main benefits of Binary Defense MDR is the ability to easily meet with their support team to discuss any issues we encounter."
"The most valuable features are Action Recommendations of Observations, which keep us informed about existing vulnerabilities so we can proactively update our endpoints and those of our customers against potential threats."
"Covalence's cloud protection element has been excellent. A lot of organizations are using 365. It's hard to find a secure solution for protecting accounts. We've gone down the path of trying to utilize other security solutions for that particular area. We've been disappointed and always come back to trying to implement Covalence when we can so we know people are safe."
"It provides valuable insights into our IT environment, enabling us to improve reselling, upgrades, and customer management."
"It is easy to manage surveillance."
"There are user notifications about our cloud solutions and access, meaning authentication and possible breaches. Overall, the notifications and alerts are valuable. There are also new features like the DNS protection, which is quite good."
"I get alerts if there's malicious activity or restrictions, should they any suspicious activity emerge."
"We now have a single cybersecurity product that protects all of our threat services, and all the endpoints."
"The standout feature is its continuous 24/7 monitoring of all network traffic, providing unparalleled vigilance."
"Automatic alerts from staying current with the threat landscape have helped us stay safe."
"We have a dedicated technical representative that is very responsive."
"LMNTRIX first validates incidents before alerting us of the activity, so we're not inundated with false positives."
"LMNTRIX gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment. It tells us about possible threats and how to fix any issues."
"The fact that it's constantly hunting, looking for anomalies, and can evict without any intervention is really incredible."
"We found that an earlier version of the agent had high memory usage and that was a bit concerning, but we raised the concern with their support team and they immediately replied that they had noticed the same thing and had a candidate fix already available... it totally fixed the issue."
"I would like to see more frequent check-ins with our security status."
"The current reporting system could benefit from improvement."
"The only area I see for improvement with Binary Defense is their service portal. It could benefit from some enhancements."
"I would like to get more reports from Binary Defense about what they're blocking."
"The most significant area for improvement is in support for non-English speakers; we're a global organization, so many of our users are not English speakers, which can make interacting with them a challenge. There's no Chinese language support, so we must rely on what we can do with the internet. We don't expect Binary Defense to build a language staff, but details can get lost in translation when we assume the whole world speaks English."
"I don't find any downside to them, but if I have to put one, it would be consistent manpower or staffing. The only area where the solution can be improved is going to be with people. As they grow, they are struggling with the same thing that every other company is, which is getting talent and getting that talent to stay, but they've just revised their tiering system to go from a flat analyst and manager to a three-tier solution where it goes through two or three before it gets elevated. That seems to have worked out well, so if one level misses it, the next one picks it up, and it works out fine."
"It's hard to think of anything that they need to improve on, but just to point out something, I would like to see them provide advanced XDR."
"I have had a couple of challenges around updates to the agents where it seems it doesn't automatically replace older versions."
"The area where they can make it better is by giving responses to the end-user. For example, when there is an alert to the administrator, I get it. I have to copy and paste everything to everyone... And then I have to follow up with them, and it's a real pain."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"One limitation is that if someone takes their laptop outside the office building, the DNS firewall provides minimal coverage, and we are unable to generate reports."
"They put too much detail into the emails."
"I would like Covalence to include patching."
"Covalence's SEAS feature wasn't very user-friendly."
"I'd like improved visibility into the backend data where logs are stored, along with integrations with a wider range of products."
"The only multifactor authentication that is available is Google Authenticator. I would love to see other multifactor applications added to this list as well as physical devices such as Yubikey."
"The dashboard can seem overwhelming at times. It's fairly simple for the end user, and we don't need to do much to make it work, but the dashboard makes it seem a little more complicated than it actually is. There could also be more guidance on how to set up playbooks."
"In the beginning, we were having issues with the LMNTRIX respond agent not playing nice with Cisco AMP."
"The next release might include a monthly newsletter."
"The portal is still a bit buggy, although it's new and still being refined."
