Correlates incidents, allows for quicker identification and helps prioritize investigations
The only challenge is, and that’s where we come into play, it’s a pretty high-tech platform. So, it’s difficult for small and medium-sized organizations to manage it on their own. It’s a very complex system. It requires a lot of expertise. All my guys who work on it have gone through certification from Stellar itself. There are three different certifications that you need to complete. Only then are you certified by Stellar to work on it. It’s a very complex platform. Not everyone can use it. A simple IT engineer or system admin won’t be able to handle it because it’s quite complex. You need to have an understanding of the industry, the subject, and the tool. So, just purchasing this tool or license and then using it on your own would be very difficult to configure and manage on a day-to-day basis. The pricing model is not suitable for small and medium companies, particularly small companies. The minimum pricing model they have is suitable for companies with more than one thousand users. So, if someone has 50 to 100 users, like typical small companies, it’s difficult for them because the cost involved is high. Stellar would charge you for those thousand users, but you do not need all those users. So what are they going to do? I guess Stellar does not want to target small companies directly and maybe relies on resellers and MSPs like us to sell it. So, that is something I would recommend changing. Otherwise, it’s a great tool, but because of the pricing model, small companies are unable to leverage the advantage of this beautiful tool. So, the pricing model should be suitable for small and medium businesses. The product currently has vulnerability monitoring and everything. But if they could also do something about vulnerability management and maybe patch management, that would be nice.

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

"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
"The solution provides a data view of the Alpha systems with Trellix installs and makes small changes to the central management console. Nothing on the endpoints themselves works, but it focuses more on the management side."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
 

Cons

"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"They can improve its resource consumption, such as memory, and maybe provide better or smaller updates. It always takes a lot of resources, but it has been getting better. I have been using McAfee products for the last 20 years or so, and I know it is getting better."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"The local technical support could be better."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s a single license platform."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"Annual license fee is good"
"Pricing is fair."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"No comment."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
