Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution also watches over Microsoft 365 and keeps a copy of logs."
"The solution is all encompassing and can incorporate email monitoring."
"The solution helps to detect some suspicious items for us and our clients."
 

Cons

"Some texts seem to report items as normal too quickly."
"The feature we keep asking for is a vulnerability scan."
"The solution does not tie into other EDR products like CyberArk or CrowdStrike but that might be more useful."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is in line with other products."
