Featured Reviews

Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick response and reliable restoration enhance security operations
If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service. I'm a bit hesitant, however, this would improve the product or the offering. Detection time already is very quick. The completeness of the offering was integrating more data. I am discussing with a customer who wishes to include identity data. Detecting early when someone tries to compromise your ID would be a nice feature.
Sagar Shekhar - PeerSpot reviewer
An open-source tool that offers great automation capabilities
Red Canary MDR generates a lot of output, so it would be good if, in the end, it generates a summary of all the previous attacks and what was the outcome of a single attack, especially so that it becomes easy for the user to see the summary and analyze the whole thing. In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users.

Pros

"The quick reaction and the ability to restore the state before within a short time are significant."

"Automated information on zero-day threats is provided without us needing to ask."
"The quick reaction and the ability to restore the state before within a short time are significant."
"The near real-time review translates into near real-time action. So, in addition to alerting, Red Canary MDR has response playbooks built out."
"The valuable features of this solution are it integrates well with different EDR software, such CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black, and the information it provides is helpful."
"The solution works well for what we use it for and the support and protection are good."
"I recommended Red Canary to my friends who work in other organizations."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part."
 

Cons

"If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service."
"If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers."
"For every new client or every new case, my company has to spin up a new instance, because of which there is a new URL."
"The interface, particularly the dashboard we use for looking at alerts, could be improved."
"I would like there to be an on-premise version of this solution for our data centers because of the proliferation of online threats."
"The price could always be better."
"The most valuable feature of Red Canary MDR is the overall threat protection it provides."
"Red Canary's pricing spectrum may not be ideal for smaller financial institutions."
"In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, Cybereason Managed Detection & Response is effective for larger companies, but if you have a small company with less than 1,000 employees, then it gets expensive."
"Red Canary MDR I use is an open-source tool."
"I have not compared Red Canary to other solutions to know if the price is high or low. However, I have found the price of this solution fair and reasonable, it cost approximately $100 per year, per device. If they could provide the solution for $50 per year, per device, it would be better."
"The solution could vary in price depending on how many endpoints a company has."
