Venugopal Potumudi - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

The solution provides automated responses and helps protect our systems
We use the solution to protect our systems. We also use it for real-time detection The tool provides automated responses. It has a lot of features. The interface is not the best. I do not like it. The reports must also be improved. I am currently using the solution. I have contacted the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The activation of features within ENS and the collection of threats into a single console is a strong point."
"The most valuable feature is user-based policy provision."
"Technical support is excellent."
"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
"The threat scanning is excellent. It uses predictive technology and I can utilize attack data to help us fine-tune our systems and network infrastructure. This protects us against current and future attacks."
"We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye."
"Provides protection against threats."
"The setup is not that complex. It takes five to ten minutes to set up."
"I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies."
"The most valuable features include the ability to raise alarms when there are issues, easier configuration compared to other vendors, centralized update management, and keeping the product updated efficiently."
"The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"The tool provides automated responses."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
 

Cons

"The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."
"They have something called Managed Detection and Response. They get intel from their customers, and that intel is shared with the rest of FireEye's customers. I want to subscribe to their intel, but that is not available to us."
"I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
"The product could be flexible and offer better pricing."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"The pricing of WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response could be improved."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
