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

"The initial setup process is straightforward."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

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

"The initial setup is not overly complicated."

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

"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 interface is user-friendly."

"Their EDR solution, the ability to mitigate issues through their command line, is probably the best feature that we've had. We use that all the time. It's very useful for doing investigations."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."

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

"The asset discovery and inventory capabilities in USM Anywhere is quite good."

"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."

"Asset discovery seems to be good."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence."

"Allowed us to help our customers satisfy compliance needs around logging and monitoring."

Cons

"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."

"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."

"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor."

"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."

"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."

"I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping."

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

"I feel it is a shame that I cannot create groups of groups with inheritance."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."

"The reporting module could be a little easier to handle, as it requires quite some trial and error until you get the reports you want. Also, it would be great to have a graphical interface for the Network Intrusion Detection System's rule management."

"AT&T AlienVault USM can improve searchable data. It should be available for more than 90 days. If you need more than 90 days of data, you have to put a request and they give you raw data, which is not easy to search. A good addition would be to allow users to search data older than 90 days."

"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."

"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."

"One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs... The logger can only hold so much data. If they improved that, that would help."

"Different functions to customize reports should be added."

"The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

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

"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."

"The pricing is manageable."

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

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."

"It's very reasonably priced. It was one of the lowest among the ones I looked at. Licensing is pretty flexible. They can do a two-year or a three-year, even a one-year, perhaps."

"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."

"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."

"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."

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

"Its price is in the medium to upper range."

"The ROI is quite good."
