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.

An open-source tool that offers great automation capabilities

My company uses Red Canary MDR to simulate MITRE ATT&CK, like spearphishing and updating domain names The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part. If we have to perform MITRE ATT&CK, we have to do it step by step, wherein we have to run all the commands, while Red Canary MDR…

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

"Our mean time to response has gone down. We're much faster with direct response and have more investigative capabilities than we did before."

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

"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 biggest aspect for us is that they are able to conform to our environment and utilize our tools. That way, we still maintain ownership of all the data and access to the applications, and we never lose control of the ability to run the solution ourselves if we need to."

"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."

"In the six months we have been with Binary Defense on this, they run with the ball. They take care of our problems. When we get a ticket, they do not just give us a report."

"The most valuable part of Binary Defense is its team of cybersecurity analysts. Their analysts filter out the noise and only forward the critical threats that require a response instead of false positives."

More Binary Defense MDR pros

"The solution works well for what we use it for and the support and protection are good."

"The near real-time review translates into near real-time action. So, in addition to alerting, Red Canary MDR has response playbooks built out."

"The valuable features of this solution are it integrates well with different EDR software, such CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black, and the information it provides is helpful."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part."

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

"SentinelOne has a rollback feature that has helped them gain popularity in the market. No other competitors of the solution including Cisco, Fortinet, or Cortex XDR have this feature. SentinelOne is a kernel-independent solution. We don’t need to check the kernel dependency on the Linux platform. They also commit to a 100 percent recovery from ransomware attacks. The solution has rollback features for ransomware on Windows."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is that it works and isn't compromised. Other solutions I have used have all been compromised and SentinelOne is the only one that hasn't been compromised as far as I understand."

"The initial setup process was straightforward."

"The rollback feature offered by the product is good."

"In our company, we use SentinelOne Vigilance for security purposes. We not only use it to detect viruses but also to monitor any activities on the endpoints so that we can take appropriate measures to mitigate any potential threats."

More SentinelOne Vigilance pros

Cons

"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."

"Binary Defense MDR could be even better with additional features, like automatic scans and file quarantine."

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

"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."

"It's sometimes difficult to know when to engage Binary Defense or TrustedSec, their sister company. TrustedSec is more focused on offensive security, as opposed to the defensive security that the MDR solution provides. It would be awesome if there were a better bridge between that relationship for when we need to get more proactive services or when we need to do a penetration test."

"The current reporting system could benefit from improvement."

"It's hard to think of anything that they need to improve on, but just to point out something, I would like to see them provide advanced XDR."

"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."

More Binary Defense MDR cons

"In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users."

"The price could always be better."

"The most valuable feature of Red Canary MDR is the overall threat protection it provides."

"I would like there to be an on-premise version of this solution for our data centers because of the proliferation of online threats."

"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."

"When upgrades are required on the server, you need to almost remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely off the system. We put SentinelOne Vigilance on silence for the monitor mode, but we were having trouble upgrading the server. I had to remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely from the server, but that meant that all the previous logs of attacks I wanted to look at on the server were gone. This is one thing they need to improve, they need better compatibility with the Microsoft Windows service. I should not have to remove the agent completely to upgrade the service."

"The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."

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

"Sometimes, SentinelOne Vigilance also detects false positives, which are not true. In such cases, we need to make changes in the policies on the dashboard accordingly."

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

"I have found issues with the solution’s stability and implementation. The solution has performance issues. I would like the solution to launch the rollback plan for ransomware on Linux and Mac. It should be something similar to the support that Windows gets."

"SentinelOne Vigilance's integration capabilities with other products can be considered as an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

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 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."

"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."

"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 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."

"After we acquired this platform, we met with a number of different vendors. Binary Defense came in with a proposal that was surprisingly affordable. In fact, we were able to recoup the cost of their services within a short period of time. This is because Binary Defense is able to provide the same level of security as a team of two or three in-house analysts but at a fraction of the cost. As a result, Binary Defense is saving us an estimated $250,000 to $300,000 per year."

More Binary Defense MDR pricing and cost advice

"I have not compared Red Canary to other solutions to know if the price is high or low. However, I have found the price of this solution fair and reasonable, it cost approximately $100 per year, per device. If they could provide the solution for $50 per year, per device, it would be better."

"Red Canary MDR I use is an open-source tool."

"The solution could vary in price depending on how many endpoints a company has."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."

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

"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."

"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."
