Gives us visibility into current critical security events and improves our time to respond

They send us alerts and have done a really good job of eliminating the false positives. Early on, there were quite a few. But as they learned about our organization and the roles of individuals within it, that has drastically gone down. For example, initially, they would say so-and-so ran a script. Now, they know who our sys admins are and that running that script is typical for them. The benefits are the visibility into current critical security events and the effect on our time to respond. Binary Defense has helped reduce our security alerts because we know where our trouble points are, or if we're missing things, and what we need to deploy. It has given us visibility into what to put in and that is how it has helped us the most. I would estimate it has reduced our security alerts by 60 to 70 percent. It has improved our security posture significantly. And because they do a lot of the management for us, it has reduced our team's workload. We only have to work on the stuff that's identified as something we need to work on, so it has definitely helped performance.

Great dashboard and interface, which is very user-friendly and provides a detailed analysis of each incident

It basically works as an XDR. We have the kind of servers on which our XDR CrowdStrike is installed, and it generates alerts. For example, if someone tries to install a systematic agent from their end, it generates an alert. We can then investigate through the incident task and see all the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Binary Defense, we don't just get an alert, but also a detailed rundown of why they're alerting us on it. They tell us what was executed, or the username, script, or IP. That way, we're not wasting time investigating."

"Binary Defense has a human service department that provides live monitoring for our systems."

"The biggest aspect for us is that they are able to conform to our environment and utilize our tools. That way, we still maintain ownership of all the data and access to the applications, and we never lose control of the ability to run the solution ourselves if we need to."

"Binary Defense is comprehensive. We see most of the questionable activity. Once you see things a couple of times and are familiar with the processes, you know what those are. The level of activity is definitely favorable."

"The case interface is Binary Defense MDR's most valuable feature."

"The customization has been the most valuable aspect and was really the reason we ended up selecting Binary Defense. They worked with us to provide exactly the level of support, features, response, and collaboration we needed."

"The speed at which their services are reactive is valuable. Nowadays, when a threat hits an endpoint, you've got minutes, not hours or days. Their average response time is about four minutes on an alert. For anything that needs to be sent to us, it's about fourteen minutes, which is pretty good. They're the third SOC that I've used in fifteen years. By far, they are the quickest ones to act. When you're looking at prevention, that's a key factor."

"The best part about Binary Defense MDR is that it runs on everything, and they keep an eye on things 24/7."

More Binary Defense MDR pros

"The threat response from this solution is very comprehensive. It not only allows us to detect the threat, but also to isolate it and check the recovery capability of the compromised system."

"It's a stable application. It is one of the most stable out of all the other market applications, especially if you're talking about within the EDR platform."

"The features I have found valuable are artificial intelligence, which protects us against malicious forces of any kind, and device control through the remote execution tool."

"It works as a security device and provides an extra layer of security to our devices and computers."

"CrowsStrike Falcon Complete is a good solid endpoint protection solution; it has a good engine and is on par in terms of efficacy with SentinelOne, and with Microsoft Defender for endpoint protection."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete has a very lightweight agent that provides signatureless detection protection from known and unknown malware or ransomware which is very useful."

"The most valuable feature is that it has a zero-day approach. It does not work with the signature itself. It looks into what is happening on an endpoint and protects you better against threats that are not yet known but are captured in a signature. It provides far better detection than when it is only signature-based. You get much quicker protection against any new threat. This is the most important feature of the CrowdStrike solution."

"The threat intelligence of CrowdStrike Falcon is the most valuable feature."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR pros

"The most valuable feature is that it works and isn't compromised. Other solutions I have used have all been compromised and SentinelOne is the only one that hasn't been compromised as far as I understand."

"SentinelOne has a rollback feature that has helped them gain popularity in the market. No other competitors of the solution including Cisco, Fortinet, or Cortex XDR have this feature. SentinelOne is a kernel-independent solution. We don’t need to check the kernel dependency on the Linux platform. They also commit to a 100 percent recovery from ransomware attacks. The solution has rollback features for ransomware on Windows."

"SentinelOne is a comprehensive solution for protecting SOAP-based web services and AWS-based cloud infrastructure."

"SentinelOne Vigilance is a very stable solution."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"SentinelOne Vigilance is an endpoint security tool with quarantining, dashboards showing us information, and many capabilities like manual and automatic quarantine of environmental issues."

"The initial setup process was straightforward."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance, which is very important for us in our company."

More SentinelOne Vigilance pros

Cons

"I would like to get more reports from Binary Defense about what they're blocking."

"We found that an earlier version of the agent had high memory usage and that was a bit concerning, but we raised the concern with their support team and they immediately replied that they had noticed the same thing and had a candidate fix already available... it totally fixed the issue."

"It's hard to think of anything that they need to improve on, but just to point out something, I would like to see them provide advanced XDR."

"The current reporting system could benefit from improvement."

"I would like to see more frequent check-ins with our security status."

"We should be able to isolate devices faster. They should shorten the time between clicking on a device to contain it and carrying out the action. That would be a welcome improvement."

"If I were shopping for an MDR solution today, I would not only look for a company that has the ability to alert, detect, and remediate, but also the ability to integrate vulnerability management. That's a big thing that they're lacking today."

"It's sometimes difficult to know when to engage Binary Defense or TrustedSec, their sister company. TrustedSec is more focused on offensive security, as opposed to the defensive security that the MDR solution provides. It would be awesome if there were a better bridge between that relationship for when we need to get more proactive services or when we need to do a penetration test."

More Binary Defense MDR cons

"People should be able to obtain training at any point of the engagement so that if somebody who doesn't have the basic knowledge is getting thrown into it, they are able to get trained, and CrowdStrike is able to help them out. CrowdStrike is really doing what they're supposed to be doing, but it is like anything else where they have to keep up on their research and development, or they'll fall behind. This is a fast-paced environment, and I've seen that vendors that were really good three years ago are terrible now. CrowdStrike is trying to stay ahead of the bad guys. They have AI. I have not had a problem with them missing anything. If they missed something, they should just make sure that they don't miss it again and understand why they missed it. I don't know if they did."

"I would like to see CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR integrate more effectively with other technologies."

"Crowdstrike could be cheaper. It's pricier than Carbon Black."

"The only aspect where we've offered feedback for potential enhancement is essentially the user experience."

"The support is good from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete. We call them and we have a response immediately. They could improve by increasing their knowledge."

"The logging features aren't robust and the information isn't kept long enough."

"We're a small organization. I'm not sure how it would fare if you were larger and had more and more users and added complexity."

"This solution is lacking in a recovery feature. If there is a full compromise, this product can't recover the machine, which results in us having to rebuild the entire system."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR cons

"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't have a direct connection with MSPs."

"The solution should add endpoint clients for mobile and Linux devices because it currently doesn't support them."

"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't actively monitor incoming emails or offer an email plugin for Outlook."

"There's no problem with how this product works, but the toughest challenge that customers find is with its deployment and tuning. Getting it tuned properly takes some time. You can deploy it with just about anything, but it's always a challenge."

"My customers who use the tool mostly want a summary of the monitoring activities of the product in a report form...t can be useful for our customers to identify the threats and incidents encountered by the product."

"When upgrades are required on the server, you need to almost remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely off the system. We put SentinelOne Vigilance on silence for the monitor mode, but we were having trouble upgrading the server. I had to remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely from the server, but that meant that all the previous logs of attacks I wanted to look at on the server were gone. This is one thing they need to improve, they need better compatibility with the Microsoft Windows service. I should not have to remove the agent completely to upgrade the service."

"Sometimes, SentinelOne Vigilance also detects false positives, which are not true. In such cases, we need to make changes in the policies on the dashboard accordingly."

"I have found issues with the solution’s stability and implementation. The solution has performance issues. I would like the solution to launch the rollback plan for ransomware on Linux and Mac. It should be something similar to the support that Windows gets."

More SentinelOne Vigilance cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on target. Working with their sales team on pricing negotiations was a pleasant process. They were very respectful of the constraints we had and I feel that we're paying a fair price."

"The solution's price is spot on; if anything, it's slightly below the norm for most services. Compared to building the same team internally, it would cost more to create the same amount of capability than what we get from an external team. Price-wise, Binary Defense is in a great spot."

"From the initial cost that Binary Defense came in with, we pared it down quite a bit over the course of 30 or 60 days. My leadership would say that their cost was high, but realistically, they were in line with the market."

"It's valued at the right price. Even with the number of endpoints we have, we don't feel that it's a lot more than any competitor. In fact, it might be less expensive when you look at the fact that you're getting a full flex SOC out of it along with the tools."

"Binary Defense has changed its pricing model from being primarily based on the volume of data to one based on escalations and incidents they handle."

"The pricing is very good. They are definitely competitive and they were lower at the time that we went with them."

"Binary Defense MDR is priced competitively and may be slightly lower than CrowdStrike."

"After we acquired this platform, we met with a number of different vendors. Binary Defense came in with a proposal that was surprisingly affordable. In fact, we were able to recoup the cost of their services within a short period of time. This is because Binary Defense is able to provide the same level of security as a team of two or three in-house analysts but at a fraction of the cost. As a result, Binary Defense is saving us an estimated $250,000 to $300,000 per year."

More Binary Defense MDR pricing and cost advice

"There is a standard license to use CrowdStrike Falcon Complete."

"Its licenses are expensive for small-scale companies."

"CrowdStrike is more expensive than SentinelOne. Licensing works on the number of agents and the modules you buy. CrowdStrike has different modules, such as Falcon, Falcon Overwatch, Falcon Complete, etc. The pricing depends upon the module that the customer wants. They have different Incident Response (IR) teams, which are very expensive."

"Its price is very high. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is 50% more expensive than Cisco AMP for Endpoints."

"It is expensive, but looking at the capabilities that it brings, it is reasonable. There are no additional costs to the licensing costs. If you increase the number of licenses, support is included."

"They are really reasonable for the services they are providing. When you add more endpoints, you are going to pay more for the license."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very expensive in comparison to Bitdefender."

"The pricing is a little bit higher than other OEM competitors in the market, like SentinelOne and Trend Micro."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR pricing and cost advice

"The tool's pricing is slightly cheaper than other alternatives. It's not just about licensing costs; because we already have it implemented, we can save money on deployment and initial setup. Additionally, SentinelOne Vigilance is slightly cheaper in licensing, maybe around 10-15 percent cheaper."

"I give the cost a three out of ten."

"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."

"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten since it is really expensive, but it is well worth what my company gets."

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."

"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
