Easy to use, stable, and easy to install
We use this solution for the Ministry of Defense and the special agencies It adds value to our existing platform, and therefore our system becomes more important for the customer. The most valuable feature is the ease of use and the full reach of services. It's pretty decent, and I don't see…

Constant monitoring and analysis boosts network security
There is always room for improvement. I am not giving it a perfect score because I am sure there is something that could be enhanced.Having some sort of certification or training, along with more periodic webinars might be helpful. Having a larger support network would be beneficial. Nobody I know has heard of Lumu, so they are in the same space as Darktrace or CrowdStrike, but people give blank stares. As the community grows for Lumu then that will improve, but that is not really a criticism of Lumu, they simply have not been around that long.

Pros

"It adds value to our existing platform, and therefore our system becomes more important for the customer."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use and the full reach of services."
"I like Lumu's simple user interface. When we deployed it, we got full access, allowing us to identify IP addresses on the network and connect machine names to users. It helped us identify and block threats via the firewall. I also appreciate the chat support and ticket closure process. We're currently reviewing network detection solutions, and my recommendations include Lumu, Sentinel, and a few others. Regarding functionality and user-friendliness, I would recommend Lumu over the others."
"The context provided by the tool is very complete, it includes the miter matrix, playbooks, links, hashes, and much more."
"Lumu protects against threats immediately and handles them in time."
"Lumu has allowed us to operate cybersecurity in a better way, with a manageable number of incidents that contain all the context including the Mitre matrix and much more, while providing visibility across on-premise, cloud, remote environments, and IoT such as IP cameras, with automatic mitigation that lets our team focus only on incidents that require our full attention."
"It's been helpful for overall extended network visibility."
"You can access external links, playbooks, MITRE Matrix, and a lot of information."
"The tool's support team helps partners resolve any problems with the product."
"The automated response to incidents works effectively out of the box, and the number of interfaces and platforms it can work with is impressive."
 

Cons

"I would like to see it integrate with third-party systems."
"I would like to see it integrate with third-party systems."
"The integration with different vendors and endpoints could be improved."
"Having a larger support network would be beneficial. Nobody I know has heard of Lumu, so they are in the same space as Darktrace or CrowdStrike, but people give blank stares."
"The free version is minimal compared to the full version."
"I am happy with the current features. However, one important one is to improve the reports."
"It would be good if we could access the physical logs."
"Lumu's ability to discover threats is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"The reports need improvement."
"The reports need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing costs are yearly."
"Compared to Lumu, other solutions are more expensive. SentinelOne was a bit cheaper, and another provider's price structure is unclear, but Lumu fit our budget nicely. SentinelOne's cost depends on the number of devices, and it might be similar to Lumu's, depending on deployment."
"It is the cheapest solution we found."
"The tool is available at a good price. The tool offers a good and competitive price for customers."
