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.

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

"Lumu protects against threats immediately and handles them in time."
"You can access external links, playbooks, MITRE Matrix, and a lot of information."
"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."
"The tool's support team helps partners resolve any problems with the product."
"It's been helpful for overall extended network visibility."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"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 solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"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."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
 

Cons

"The free version is minimal compared to the full version."
"It would be good if we could access the physical logs."
"The integration with different vendors and endpoints could be improved."
"Nothing so far needs to be improved."
"The reports need improvement."
"Lumu's ability to discover threats is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"I am happy with the current features. However, one important one is to improve the reports."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"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."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"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."
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
 

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."
"The tool is available at a good price. The tool offers a good and competitive price for customers."
"It is the cheapest solution we found."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"This product is costly."
"The product is expensive."
