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.

Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting

We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For me, the technical support is good."

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

"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 initial setup is not overly complicated."

"We didn't have the visibility that we now have. It has increased our visibility by a lot. So, we put a lot more time into really looking at our environment and what is happening throughout our different networks. It has increased our visibility by around fivefold."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"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."

"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."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."

"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."

"Speed"

"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."

"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."

"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

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

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

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

"There can be problems with the EDI."

"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."

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

"They need to improve their technical support services."

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

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."

"Reporting system could be improved."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

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

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

"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

"It is relatively cheap."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"The pricing is high."
