Provides effective incident response and investigation features
We also use Palo Alto's XDR, SentinelOne, Trend Micro, and quite a few others. SentinelOne is nice because you have a centralized dashboard. You just have a single instance and can manage all your clients from one central dashboard, which Cybereason currently lacks. It hinders our use case because we have to redeploy our rules. However, SentinelOne's search feature is slightly more limited than Cybereason's. SentinelOne's search feature is very restrictive, and they have a certain way you have to do it. If you don't follow that way, you're kind of stuck. The deployability is the same, and we have not had scalability issues. We don't work with a larger client. Our largest deployment was about 3,000 endpoints. Cybereason's tech support or the support engineer tends to be slightly better than SentinelOne's because there is no direct contact for support in our region. We usually have to reach out to either the European or the American branches for assistance. There's a bit of a time delay or something that happens. Those are the only major differences.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"I have found many of the features to be useful."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"A big advantage of McAfee Endpoint Security is the ability to manage very big environments. We are supporting environments with 200,000 to 300,000 endpoints. The ability to manage with one single console is very important for us. McAfee has phenomenally improved in terms of detection. It provides real-time detection and response with the error, Real Protect, and reputations. It is not only based on signatures but also on behavior analytics, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. We have environments that never had issues with ransomware in the last 20 years. McAfee has a very good performance in this field."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
 

Cons

"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product. The system also starts slowly in some instances. If for some reason this solution crashes, we could lose all our data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The tool is affordable"
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
