Sagar Shekhar - PeerSpot reviewer
An open-source tool that offers great automation capabilities
Red Canary MDR generates a lot of output, so it would be good if, in the end, it generates a summary of all the previous attacks and what was the outcome of a single attack, especially so that it becomes easy for the user to see the summary and analyze the whole thing. In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users.
SunilPanigrahi - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution with good duplication capabilities and fair pricing
The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.  I've been using the solution for five years. The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any problems over the past five years of use. Scalability is fine. We keep adding different…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The valuable features of this solution are it integrates well with different EDR software, such CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black, and the information it provides is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part."
"The near real-time review translates into near real-time action. So, in addition to alerting, Red Canary MDR has response playbooks built out."
"The solution works well for what we use it for and the support and protection are good."
"I recommended Red Canary to my friends who work in other organizations."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
 

Cons

"In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users."
"I would like there to be an on-premise version of this solution for our data centers because of the proliferation of online threats."
"Red Canary's pricing spectrum may not be ideal for smaller financial institutions."
"The price could always be better."
"The most valuable feature of Red Canary MDR is the overall threat protection it provides."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have not compared Red Canary to other solutions to know if the price is high or low. However, I have found the price of this solution fair and reasonable, it cost approximately $100 per year, per device. If they could provide the solution for $50 per year, per device, it would be better."
"The solution could vary in price depending on how many endpoints a company has."
"Red Canary MDR I use is an open-source tool."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
