Offers some features but needs better customization and analysis tools
There are solutions that can perform better, but due to pricing for our corporate implementation, we had to stay with this solution. It accomplishes the necessary tasks, but there is room for improvement. The features are not as customizable as we would prefer, but they are workable. If configured properly, you can perform a drill-down analysis. However, I have not used this feature much for our infrastructure on the network side.

Has improved threat detection and reduced manual workload through real-time cloud insights
ThreatSync+ NDR has helped identify potential security gaps in my network, and we are currently working on resolving them. The impact on incident response time varies. During daytime operations, it reacts instantly with a notification delay of 10 to 20 minutes, while nighttime notifications can have up to eight hours delay. ThreatSync+ NDR has enhanced our ability to proactively manage network risks by enabling us to implement extra measures at a lower level based on its findings. The compliance reporting tools are comprehensive and meet our requirements. Though we haven't conducted official compliance reporting yet, we anticipate it will save approximately one day of work in report compilation. Regarding pricing, WatchGuard rates a nine out of ten. We maintain 1,001 licenses for ThreatSync+ NDR, serving approximately 1,000 users, with about 300 local users in the UK. ThreatSync+ NDR's effectiveness in identifying weaknesses before exploitation is excellent and very quick. I recommend ThreatSync+ NDR to other users based on its rapid deployment and immediate value delivery. I rate ThreatSync+ NDR 9 out of 10.
