Scalable platform with intuitive features for detecting malicious files
We use Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response to scan and detect unusual processes and malicious files on the endpoint The product's threat-hunting feature is very intuitive and easy to use as it is GUI-based. We need to know the specific fields we want to scan. It gives the entire report of…

Helps to monitor and detect cyberattacks
I use Trellix ESM to monitor inbound communication from known threat hosts and detect cyberattacks. It's also useful for outbound communication, but we block threat communication via a firewall The tool's effectiveness depends on how you define your log sources. To build visibility of incoming…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cybereason absolutely enables us to mitigate and isolate on the fly. Our managed detection response telemetry has dropped dramatically since we began using it. It's very top-of-mind. We were running some tabletop exercises and none of the detections were getting triggered by the managed security services provider. So we needed to find a solution that would trigger high-fidelity alerts. That was Cybereason and it dramatically changed our landscape from the detection and response perspective."
"The most valuable feature is the capability of the command used by the machine so that we see the kind of performance that is running."
"Cybereason's threat hunting and investigation are the most valuable features. Threat hunting is a user-friendly feature that keeps you safe. Investigation offers an added value that I haven't seen with other EDR services. It allows you to find specific policy problems within your environment."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The dashboard is very good and you can consider it as an interactive UI."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"It has good technical support, which is available around the clock. You can call up anytime and get whatever you want. My queues are resolved."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation rules."
"It is easy to use."
"Trellix ESM is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it."
"The most valuable feature for us is that it comes with many correlations, reports, and dashboards already available. It's also very easy to use."
"The solution's technical support is great."
"The tool's effectiveness depends on how you define your log sources. To build visibility of incoming and outgoing traffic, you need logs from perimeter defense, firewalls, web application firewalls, and endpoint protection. With good traffic visibility, incident response time is really quick."
 

Cons

"Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts."
"While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper."
"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."
"Cybereason does not have sandbox functionality."
"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."
"Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business."
"Reporting could be a bit more granular so that we had the ability to check regions and countries. I just noticed that, for instance, if I look at our servers, it's either "contained" or it's "not contained". I don't have the option, for instance, to look at countries. It only allows me to look at users as one big group."
"The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved."
"The initial setup is difficult and could improve."
"It seems McAfee does test its product before releasing. When we - not only us, other companies also - deploy McAfee, we face multiple issues from the customer side, after which, McAfee reacts and fixes the bugs."
"There's no software support from McAfee."
"Product-wise, adding accounts on a single data source by batch would be a really great help."
"The product is mature and needs little improvement, but we could enhance the customized dashboarding based on use cases."
"The product’s alert response feature needs improvement. It could be more flexible and secure."
"The disk space needed for events is not clear. In all clients, we had at least more than 100GB free that we could not use."
"The solution needs to improve case management. The UI is confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."
"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."
"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
"The pricing is manageable."
"The pricing is fair."
"The price of McAfee ESM is higher than some of the other solutions. There are additional features that can be added at an additional fee."
"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."
"The pricing is good, and they are competitive compared to providers such as RSA and IBM QRadar."
"We renew our license annually."
"Regarding pricing, Trellix ESM is not that expensive. It's less than half the cost of IBM QRadar."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
