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."

"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."

"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."

"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 initial setup is not overly complicated."

"The interface is user-friendly."

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

"Immediately we can pick up the computers in the network if any malicious operation that is triggered."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"It has allowed us to see what is happening on our servers."

"We're using it more for reporting, that's all. We're using it to help our customers to pass any kind of audits that they receive."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment that it provides to users. The integrations that the product has with third-party applications are useful."

"Any unusual behaviour, we can monitor. We have alerts set up to be sent when we receive signs of any unusual behaviour."

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

"The new cloud-based panel is excellent both for client review as well as for our SOC to review and respond to threats. It is much easier to configure and use than the previous solution from AlienVault."

"The solution is stable."

"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."

Cons

"What needs to improve in Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response and what I'd like to see in its next release is a centralized dashboard that allows you to view what is there, similar to what's on Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager: a beautiful display and reporting. Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response has to start with the compliance, the homepage, etc. Everything should be there and should be customizable. The options should be there. The tool is very good currently, but visibility for IT administrators is lacking and needs to be worked 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."

"It initially took some time to deploy."

"There can be problems with the EDI."

"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."

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

"The product's reporting isn't great."

"They need to improve their technical support services."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."

"I've been using it just for my own personal upskilling in terms of how the product works. At the moment, it is pretty straightforward and simple, and it is working how it is supposed to. The feedback would come once it is deployed to customer sites. They'll be using it on a more frequent basis, and that's when the feedback would come in terms of the areas in which they're facing issues or are looking for simplicity."

"Sometimes the log is unclear, and the report is a bit ambiguous."

"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."

"Source material on the forums to be more up-to-date with the changes happening within the product. Forums being out-of-date with information due to the changes makes troubleshooting a little more difficult - specific to the HIDS agents."

"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."

"AlienVault must improve their correlation feature. Some of the events do not match with the correlation rules and some of the correlation events are false-positive."

"This solution could be easier to use."

More USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"The pricing is manageable."

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

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

"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."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."

"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."

"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."

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

"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"

"The pricing is a good value. The key thing is that for the new product, the licensing of it, is subscription-based and it's based on data. Clients need to be really careful when thinking about that, because odds are they're going to need to put a lot more data into it than what they initially estimate, which is going to drive their subscription costs up."

"It is affordable, and it also has many features that the premium products such as ArcSight and QRadar have. It is a very good platform for a SIEM solution. Everything is included in the price."

"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."
