Featured Reviews

Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration of multiple firewalls enables advanced threat detection
The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable. Cybereason XDR facilitates two-way communication, where the firewall sends data to the Cybereason system, and it can communicate with the firewall to stop unwanted communication. Customers can deal with multiple types of firewalls with ease. The behavioral analytics help detect advanced threats when attackers use existing software. The multilayered protection approach, including NGAV, integrates XDR detection with antivirus to assess and counter threats effectively.
AhmedEl-Tayeb - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"The solution is reliable."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
 

Cons

"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."
"Customer service is rated as a five out of ten. When they work and reach the right level, they are helpful, but getting to the right person can be time-consuming."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"There is room to improve with scalability."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"The management console is a little bit difficult to understand for admins. You need a lot of time in order to become familiar with that. It is a little bit complicated and not too easy to understand. Its price can also be improved. Its price is higher than its competitors. McAfee also needs to have better cloud integration and more data centers in the EU. The cloud center should be in Europe or in Germany. In Germany, it is really important to have access to your data within the same country. Customer data needs to be placed and processed in the same country."
"The resolution time should be faster."
"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"Pricing is fair."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
