Has significantly influenced our security strategy as it helps us plan attacks and take initial steps in compromising networks
I haven't explored cost-saving aspects or utilized integration capabilities within BloodHound. Additionally, I haven't used AI features in Broadcom for threat detection yet, leaving that to our IT team to handle. If you're already familiar with the field, learning to use BloodHound Enterprise shouldn't be too tricky as the UI is user-friendly and the features are straightforward. I'd rate my overall experience around an eight, mainly due to occasional performance issues and deeper operational concerns. However, in terms of features, UI, and ease of use, it's top-notch.

Access to other software is just one click away and suitable for big organizations
Currently, we have limited use of Microsoft AD. We only use it to see if user blocks are available. If they are, we unblock the account and get access accordingly. AD has paid access control features. We can add access control over AD. For example, for documentation, we use an Outline tool. It's open source, and we add our company's knowledge base to it. It's an alternative to Confluence. We don't want everyone to have access to all documentation. If I create documentation for my team, only my team should have access, not support or sales. We can add these scopes or access controls over AD. Once integrated, the person will get the appropriate access control features upon logging in. Role-based access control is a great feature of Active Directory.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The custom Cypress queries in BloodHound Enterprise is the most valuable feature."
"The features we find most effective for identity security include access reviews, two-factor authentication, and modification."
"I find the most valuable feature to be conditional access."
"The reverse proxy feature provides additional security that is not available in other solutions."
"The solution's technical support offers great assistance to users."
"The valuable features include multifactor authentication, accessory capabilities, and conditional access for specific applications."
"The primary and most valuable aspect of Azure AD identity is its ability to function seamlessly on both on-premise and cloud infrastructure, eliminating the need for extensive updates. However, this dual solution can pose vulnerabilities that require substantial support and security measures in the on-premise environment. Despite the challenges, it is currently not feasible to completely abandon AD, especially for companies in the sales and energy sectors. The integration with Microsoft Defender is crucial for enhancing security, making identity and security the primary focus and purpose of Azure AD."
"The solution helps us with authentication."
"The tool is simple and you can find a lot of tutorials, and videos on YouTube that can help you."
 

Cons

"A few months ago, there was a problem with the digesters having trouble importing data from the normal digesters, a significant issue that needed attention."
"Microsoft has not offered control over how they calculate high or low-risk scenarios. While they mention if a low risk is found by Microsoft, the triggered policy isn't customizable."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Identity labeling and sensitivity needs improvement."
"Microsoft has room for improvement in simplifying their integration with third-party solutions and making the licensing model more understandable."
"There is a lot of confusion around the user interface."
"Azure AD could improve by enhancing the availability of specialized courses for security, such as NETSCOUT security or other relevant certifications. It would be beneficial to have specific courses for security, to provide in-depth knowledge and skills related to Azure AD. While there are micro-learning resources available for various concepts, many people in the IT industry may not have the time to go through all the courses to properly configure and utilize Azure Active Directory. Simplifying the implementation process and making it easier for individuals to join a company with Azure AD could also be considered areas for improvement."
"The recent CrowdStrike issue affected most systems."
"The solution is not optimized to work with Mac devices on a granular level. They work seamlessly with Windows but have a lot to improve to work with Mac devices. It also needs to improve stability and scalability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
