Scalable platform with intuitive features for detecting malicious files

The initial setup process is straightforward. We have to install the agent, create a package, and deploy it on servers. It has a prebuilt console managed by the cloud team of Cybereason. We don't have to worry about the console and concentrate on endpoint implementation. It takes ten days to deploy it on 10,000 devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is efficient."

"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

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

"It gives all the information in a clear response."

"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."

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

"The initial setup process is straightforward."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"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."

"Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers."

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

"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."

"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."

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

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

"OTX is a great module that lets staff maintain and monitor updates regarding events in the infrastructure and takes decision to improve the security perimeter."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"There can be problems with the EDI."

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

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."

"The lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."

"Different functions to customize reports should be added."

"The AT&T AlienVault USM is okay, but the relational database is not very good for large amounts of data. For example, many logs cannot be processed. It has been very slow for the queries and some data which are large, it is not very good in this case."

"Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing."

"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."

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

"There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks."

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."

"The pricing is manageable."

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

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

"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."

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

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."

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

"It has good pricing."

"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."

"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."

"I don't know exactly, but I know it is based on the number of logs and the retention duration, such as 30 days or something like that. So, the smallest package is about 500 a month for 30 days of logs. There is a virtual machine. You need resources for it. It is a log collecting VM. They provide the software, and you just have to load a virtual machine. So, you're going to incur some CPU RAM and storage for wherever this log collecting appliance is running, which typically is in our cloud and on our platform for the customer."

"It's saved security costs."

"The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license."
