Real-time alerts and managed services reports give me a view of the landscape, things that might have slipped through the cracks

Pros

"The real-time alerting for things such as people getting dropped into a VPN group or the domain admin group — things like that which really shouldn't happen without proper change management, but we all know the reality, they do from time to time — gives me real-time visibility into what's going on."

Cons

"With version 8, there are quite a few things. The query tool was one of the big ones, and the query speed was one of the big ones, but they've made some great strides between versions 8 and 9. There were also issues in version 8 around the ability to get the data back out. It's one thing to collect data, but it's a whole other thing to be able to present it or run it in a timely manner. The old tool, depending on how far back I was looking, might even time out and I would have to run it again. "

The SOC center monitors, hunts, and notifies us of threats around the clock

Pros

"Netsurion has its own security operations center, where it tracks information that comes across our telemetry."

Cons

"Netsurion's SOC can be a bit too aggressive at times."

Allowed us to consolidate cybersecurity technology but there's a steep learning curve for onboarding and deployment

Pros

"I think Netsurion scales well. We've gone from a small number of agents up to thousands. So I would imagine that it would continue to scale. I don't see any issue with that. "

Cons

"The agents on the endpoints seem to fail quite a bit, requiring manual involvement from the local administrators. I would like to see their product be much more ad hoc and update automatically."

Provides real-time alerting, a dedicated team, and around-the-clock monitoring

Pros

"The most valuable feature is definitely real-time alerting, especially in situations where someone might attempt to exploit or hack into our network."

Cons

"I would also like to have a dashboard that I can access anytime to review the real-time data from their website."

Takes the load off of our systems administrator from having to manage, vet, and analyze logs

Pros

"When I looked last week, we probably averaged about 20 million log entries a day. So, we certainly can't individually manage that. Just looking at the reports, then trying to go back and find anything that was questionable, was a challenge. Therefore, the managed service has been invaluable to us in terms of being able to narrow the scope of what really needs to be looked at and bringing those things to our attention to be dealt with."

Cons

"I would like to see a faster response when we see things like 15,000 lockouts. I really wished that I had known that on Friday afternoon rather than waiting until I got the weekly report today. By the same token, they are looking at it from the point of view that this is a system or software malfunction. This is not a bad actor repeating the exact same password three times a second. Therefore, they can tell that this is not a bad thing. However, it's not a security event but it is an operational event for me. Knowing this sort of thing would help my team and me out more because then we would be able to clear out a lot of network traffic that we didn't know was going on. So, we would like quicker updates on non-high security events."

Having a managed SOC reach out and contact us when something pops up is useful, but the threat detection and response is passive

Pros

"We don't have the eyeballs available to stare and watch for things, or even have the capability of building internal alert systems. So, the managed SOC has been huge for freeing up staff to work on other responsibilities. We are saving on at least one full-time employee. "

Cons

"The threat detection and response is passive. We have asked if there were options for taking action, and we have not gotten any feedback on that, which would be useful to know. Depending on the situation and threat, some actions may not be possible, but we haven't gotten any feedback on what options could be directed and actionable with the understanding that it may have an extra cost. It would be nice to know or find out if it is actually possible to take actions by a SIEM service or a SIEM agent."

The threat detection and response show you exactly where you're vulnerable

Pros

"Netsurion was easy to deploy. I have worked with other systems that were a little less complex, but they weren't quite as easy to deploy. "

Cons

"We get a report generated on a particular day of the week and we go through it, trying to mitigate problems and make sure we're seeing everything that's happening. It would be helpful if the SOC spent a little more time with us going through some of those reports. "

Circumvents the need to hire and manage 24/7 in-house monitoring/alerting, and gives us actionable threat intelligence

Pros

"When it comes to threat detection and response, it does a very good job detecting and blocking on its own. And the SOC is a nice added value because they're doing analysis on things that aren't as obvious, on things that you can't just detect with a signature or behavior. Also, any SIEM will come with a lot of noise, so having them do a lot of the initial analysis to find out what's critical and what issues are false alarms is very good."

Cons

"Everything that I've wanted has been added in. EDR was added, and MITRE was added. Those were two big ones that we didn't even have to push for."
