Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution."
"It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
"​Very straightforward and very easy to implement.​"
"It is a scalable solution. If required, we can scale it more. That's not an issue...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The customer service/technical support for this solution is very fast."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the virtual path function, which is the reason we chose to implement it."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
 

Cons

"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"The web interface could be much better."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"The risk is very complex. We need our tools to be more intelligent, more automated, more detectable."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's quite pricey."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"CrowdStrike had an advantage over Trend Micro when it came to pricing. Trend Micro had several modules, so it was a little priced up, but CrowdStrike was not. However, even CrowdStrike has increased their price now, so probably both of them are on par, but the number of modules that Trend Micro has is far more than CrowdStrike. It comes with file integrity monitoring, application control, and web reputation. It has outbound URL protection, and it also has ransomware protection for servers, whereas CrowdStrike Falcon is a straightforward solution."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"The solution is offered at an average price point"
