We can make more informed decisions on whether an action is malicious

The ease of use and dashboards are improving. We came in at a time when they were developing a new dashboard screen. Therefore, we have had some confusing times between the old and new dashboards. Knowing how the new one works, I have seen vast improvements with it. 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. They are improving on this because I have seen some improvements in the user interface that helps with this. Part of it was moving two different screens into one, merging the two together. It is very good, but it is very technically detailed and would be harder for an entry-level person to decipher. However, improvements are being made. It leverages indicators of behavior to help us remediate faster against attacks. Sometimes, I wish there was more detail on why they consider it malicious.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform. It is very straightforward."

"The solution is efficient."

"The initial setup is not overly complicated."

"They do a very good job of providing multi-stage visualizations of malicious operations that immediately show all attack details across all devices and users. Since it is MalOp-centric model, you can see if there has been a similar operation across multiple machines. If it is the same thing appearing on multiple machines, you see all the machines and users affected in one screen."

"The initial setup process is straightforward."

"The dashboard is very good and you can consider it as an interactive UI."

"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The interface is user-friendly."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"It provides a single pane of glass view, coupled with a whole security ecosystem. The ability to manage everything from a central point, including vulnerability assessments, asset management - including the services provided by the various hosts, NIDS, HIDS, etc. - provides a very efficient way of dealing with things."

"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."

"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."

"SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance."

"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."

"Asset discovery seems to be good."

"The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."

"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved."

"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."

"It initially took some time to deploy."

"Ad hoc higher-level reporting to senior management can be improved or can be implemented. That's definitely an area of improvement that they need to focus on."

"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."

"It should be more stable, and the sensor needs improvement in terms of connectivity."

"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."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"More complimentary training needs to be done for use with this tool. If you get into a bind, then it will cost you."

"In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly."

"I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."

"The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement."

"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."

"they seem to have bugs from time to time that go unfixed for a while and that is frustrating. I'm not saying the product needs to be bug-free, but they need to be responsive to bugs."

"The reporting tools are a bit lacking for building reports to give directly to customers, but support has been helpful in giving our requests for new features to the development team and following up with us."

"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."

More USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."

"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."

"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."

"The pricing is manageable."

"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."

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."

"Negotiate the best package for your environment."

"It's saved security costs."

"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."

"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."

"QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."

"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."

"It's affordable for most customers."
