Protects against threats and handles it in time with moderate pricing
Mostly, Lumu is an automatic tool. We'll deploy on firewalls and DNS servers. Lumu detects every attack on our network. The other day, we had CLC, the command controller, and the tool reacted automatically. It detected the attack and immediately blocked it without intervention from my team. The improvement is in the security process, as it's now entirely automated. We no longer require a technician or engineer to monitor our network 24/7. Lumu updates with AI and global threat intelligence, which greatly assists us. Since our workload is lighter, Lumu handles all of our tasks. We're using FortiGate for the firewall and Kaspersky for endpoints. If you are going to Lumu, you need another solution for the endpoint. You need to integrate with other tools like firewalls or another antivirus. I recommend the solution based on the price, usability, and service offered by the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Automatic reports streamline tasks and offers easy report gathering
The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart, though I forgot the exact term. I encountered several issues while trying to create solutions for this advanced version, which seem unrelated to query or data issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can access external links, playbooks, MITRE Matrix, and a lot of information."
"Lumu protects against threats immediately and handles them in time."
"I like Lumu's simple user interface. When we deployed it, we got full access, allowing us to identify IP addresses on the network and connect machine names to users. It helped us identify and block threats via the firewall. I also appreciate the chat support and ticket closure process. We're currently reviewing network detection solutions, and my recommendations include Lumu, Sentinel, and a few others. Regarding functionality and user-friendliness, I would recommend Lumu over the others."
"The context provided by the tool is very complete, it includes the miter matrix, playbooks, links, hashes, and much more."
"Most of it is automated, so I do not have to watch it to get alerts."
"It's been helpful for overall extended network visibility."
"The tool's support team helps partners resolve any problems with the product."
"Features like alerts and auto report generation are valuable."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"Splunk's technical support is amazing."
"It's easily scalable."
"Features like alerts and auto report generation are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
 

Cons

"Lumu's ability to discover threats is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"Nothing so far needs to be improved."
"The reports need improvement."
"The integration with different vendors and endpoints could be improved."
"It would be good if we could access the physical logs."
"I am happy with the current features. However, one important one is to improve the reports."
"The free version is minimal compared to the full version."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"The dashboard part could be improved."
"In terms of improvements, advanced reporting could see enhancements as there are some issues with latency. Additionally, there are challenges with configuration findings during lexical analysis."
"High data ingestion costs can be an issue, especially for large enterprises, as Splunk charges based on the amount of data processed."
"In terms of improvements, advanced reporting could see enhancements as there are some issues with latency."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to Lumu, other solutions are more expensive. SentinelOne was a bit cheaper, and another provider's price structure is unclear, but Lumu fit our budget nicely. SentinelOne's cost depends on the number of devices, and it might be similar to Lumu's, depending on deployment."
"It is the cheapest solution we found."
"The tool is available at a good price. The tool offers a good and competitive price for customers."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
