Worth the money, fantastic communication, and fast service with an average response time of about four minutes on an alert

This is my third SOC. I have never had anybody react as well. So, it's hard for me to provide something that they could do better because I'm really happy with them. I just signed another three-year contract with them. I don't find any downside to them, but if I have to put one, it would be consistent manpower or staffing. The only area where the solution can be improved is going to be with people. As they grow, they are struggling with the same thing that every other company is, which is getting talent and getting that talent to stay, but they've just revised their tiering system to go from a flat analyst and manager to a three-tier solution where it goes through two or three before it gets elevated. That seems to have worked out well, so if one level misses it, the next one picks it up, and it works out fine. Consistent staffing is the only challenge they have because when you're hiring level-one analysts, you go through them pretty quickly. You'll probably hire them at 50K or 55K, and after they do it for a year, they find out they can make 85K somewhere else, and they bounce. So, their turnover is a little high, but that's it.

Helps to manage cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and improve our security team's efficiency and security posture

It would be incredibly valuable to have the Field Effect team handle some of the third-party application patching they're currently identifying. While it's fantastic that they're proactive in this area, the time commitment is significant. Integrating patching into their existing service offering would be a game-changer. I'd love to see a tool that aids sales discovery efforts when we engage new clients. Ideally, this internal tool would scan their network environment to identify potential risks and give us a comprehensive picture of their network infrastructure. This would be a huge asset in informing our sales strategies and showcasing our expertise.

Very easy to use with multiple options for licensing and scaling

Our company uses the solution instead of a traditional antivirus as an endpoint protector. We have all security alerts passed off to a SOC. We are a football club and have 350 users across coaches, medical staff, and ticketing agents. The solution is very easy to use. The solution should add…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Binary Defense, we don't just get an alert, but also a detailed rundown of why they're alerting us on it. They tell us what was executed, or the username, script, or IP. That way, we're not wasting time investigating."

"The best part about Binary Defense MDR is that it runs on everything, and they keep an eye on things 24/7."

"One of the main benefits of Binary Defense MDR is the ability to easily meet with their support team to discuss any issues we encounter."

"Among the valuable features are the agent, continuous reporting, and dashboard. It has all the features we need and we haven't had to customize it, other than turning on certain features that we wanted."

"Binary Defense has a human service department that provides live monitoring for our systems."

"The customization has been the most valuable aspect and was really the reason we ended up selecting Binary Defense. They worked with us to provide exactly the level of support, features, response, and collaboration we needed."

"The most valuable feature is reviewing tickets and the notes added by technicians."

"The most valuable features are the SIEM and the ticketing function; the latter is very smooth and easy to read and understand. We don't have any issues looking at the ticketing information when we're trying to identify what's going on."

More Binary Defense MDR pros

"Direct and easy and quick communication to the Field Effect cybersecurity team experts has led to quick resolution of any problems or alerts."

"It is easy to manage surveillance."

"Unlike previous solutions, where we were solely informed of security incidents, Covalence's MDR allows for real-time incident prevention."

"I get alerts if there's malicious activity or restrictions, should they any suspicious activity emerge."

"Covalence's cloud protection element has been excellent. A lot of organizations are using 365. It's hard to find a secure solution for protecting accounts. We've gone down the path of trying to utilize other security solutions for that particular area. We've been disappointed and always come back to trying to implement Covalence when we can so we know people are safe."

"The ARO alerts are helpful to use almost daily to get a sense of what actions we need to take to expedite security measures."

"The most valuable features are AROs, which provide timely notifications for out-of-compliance or out-of-specification detections."

"The most valuable features are Action Recommendations of Observations, which keep us informed about existing vulnerabilities so we can proactively update our endpoints and those of our customers against potential threats."

More Field Effect MDR pros

"The endpoint security software is great."

"The initial setup process was straightforward."

"Stable solution for protecting, deploying, and managing endpoints, and comes with valuable features such as behavioral analytics and machine learning."

"SentinelOne is a comprehensive solution for protecting SOAP-based web services and AWS-based cloud infrastructure."

"The SentinelOne Active EDR is the most valuable feature."

"SentinelOne Vigilance is an endpoint security tool with quarantining, dashboards showing us information, and many capabilities like manual and automatic quarantine of environmental issues."

"SentinelOne Vigilance has very good detection."

"The best feature of this solution is the third-party management aspect. An external company oversees the tool's management and monitors the data it generates. If the EDR detects suspicious activity, it will react accordingly and take necessary actions, such as blocking a device."

More SentinelOne Vigilance pros

Cons

"The only area for improvement that I can think of relates to statistical analysis for SLAs. They are in the middle of moving to a new product called D3 which is going to do some backend work for them. I know they are working to improve some of the help desk statistics, such as the time the tickets open and the time they are closed."

"If I were shopping for an MDR solution today, I would not only look for a company that has the ability to alert, detect, and remediate, but also the ability to integrate vulnerability management. That's a big thing that they're lacking today."

"We found that an earlier version of the agent had high memory usage and that was a bit concerning, but we raised the concern with their support team and they immediately replied that they had noticed the same thing and had a candidate fix already available... it totally fixed the issue."

"We should be able to isolate devices faster. They should shorten the time between clicking on a device to contain it and carrying out the action. That would be a welcome improvement."

"The current reporting system could benefit from improvement."

"While my understanding is that they're working on this, I would like to see some more of the quantification or reporting."

"The only area I see for improvement with Binary Defense is their service portal. It could benefit from some enhancements."

"I would like to see more frequent check-ins with our security status."

More Binary Defense MDR cons

"Field Effect MDR could broaden its cloud application integrations to integrate better with Office 365, Azure, Salesforce, etc. They integrate about 15 to 20 out of the box. I'd love to see a lot more than that."

"I'd love the price to be a little bit less."

"In the AROs tab, if we encounter multiple duplicate recommendations, it would be helpful to be able to select and resolve or dismiss them all at once."

"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."

"While the reporting is good, I would like more of a white-label option with my company's name at the top and a clean look for the report."

"I have had a couple of challenges around updates to the agents where it seems it doesn't automatically replace older versions."

"One limitation is that if someone takes their laptop outside the office building, the DNS firewall provides minimal coverage, and we are unable to generate reports."

"Field Effect Covalence could benefit from enhancing its packing slip process."

More Field Effect MDR cons

"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't actively monitor incoming emails or offer an email plugin for Outlook."

"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't have a direct connection with MSPs."

"My customers who use the tool mostly want a summary of the monitoring activities of the product in a report form...t can be useful for our customers to identify the threats and incidents encountered by the product."

"The solution's memory forensics capabilities and hard disk capacities are quite basic."

"It is not easy to remove the customer without the dashboard."

"My only complaint is that the knowledge base is not accessible to the customer."

"Occasionally during an update, customers may temporarily be without protection until the upgrade is complete."

"There's no problem with how this product works, but the toughest challenge that customers find is with its deployment and tuning. Getting it tuned properly takes some time. You can deploy it with just about anything, but it's always a challenge."

More SentinelOne Vigilance cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Binary Defense MDR is priced competitively and may be slightly lower than CrowdStrike."

"It has been good. We have saved money, and we have a better product."

"The solution's price is spot on; if anything, it's slightly below the norm for most services. Compared to building the same team internally, it would cost more to create the same amount of capability than what we get from an external team. Price-wise, Binary Defense is in a great spot."

"The pricing isn't that bad, it's very competitive. I don't feel that it's over-priced and I don't feel that it's under-priced."

"It's valued at the right price. Even with the number of endpoints we have, we don't feel that it's a lot more than any competitor. In fact, it might be less expensive when you look at the fact that you're getting a full flex SOC out of it along with the tools."

"The pricing is on target. Working with their sales team on pricing negotiations was a pleasant process. They were very respectful of the constraints we had and I feel that we're paying a fair price."

"The pricing is very good. They are definitely competitive and they were lower at the time that we went with them."

"From the initial cost that Binary Defense came in with, we pared it down quite a bit over the course of 30 or 60 days. My leadership would say that their cost was high, but realistically, they were in line with the market."

More Binary Defense MDR pricing and cost advice

"The shift to a per-user pricing model and the introduction of a base price for the on-premises or virtual appliance has been particularly advantageous."

"While the contract duration might change, the pricing remains highly attractive."

"The licensing model itself is solid, but we're ironing out some inconsistencies in how customer profiles are configured."

"It is a little pricey. It is a little on the high end, but we are continuing to use it. We signed the contract and have not canceled, so we find value in having it."

"A top-tier competitor to Field Effect in Magic Quadrant that we had been using until our switch to Field Effect was a great product, but each capability had an additional charge. We had to license modules separately, and each of those add-ons had to be added onto its own consumption and agreement. It was a nightmare from a billing perspective because we had multiple agreements, and each one had a jagged anniversary or a renewal anniversary. It was a nightmare, whereas Field Effect MDR is one product."

"Although Covalence is expensive, it provides good value for the price."

"Field Effect Covalence's pricing is just right."

"We're currently enrolled in the volume package, which offers tiered pricing based on usage."

More Field Effect MDR pricing and cost advice

"I give the cost a three out of ten."

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."

"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."

"The tool's pricing is slightly cheaper than other alternatives. It's not just about licensing costs; because we already have it implemented, we can save money on deployment and initial setup. Additionally, SentinelOne Vigilance is slightly cheaper in licensing, maybe around 10-15 percent cheaper."

"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."

"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."

"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten since it is really expensive, but it is well worth what my company gets."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
