The team is awesome. From a personal perspective, I have done a lot of webinars and different events with the team itself. They have been great at communicating about the product. I would suggest going and signing up for a webinar because they really explain the product well through that. The team will reach out to you after the webinar and follow up and get to know you as well. To those considering Field Effect MDR, I would advise making sure that your client knows that you are very likely going to uncover some things that you may need to remediate right away. You just need to prepare them. Typically, they are not monetary changes. There may be some policy changes that you have to make within the company. Have that conversation with them so that they are prepared and flexible with those changes when they come. I would rate Field Effect MDR a ten out of ten.
I would rate Field Effect Covalence nine out of ten. The only maintenance Covalence requires is updating the endpoint agent twice a year, at most. These updates are released by Field Effect and necessitate modifying the group policy to reflect the new version. This is because the old group policy won't work with the updated agent. Completely unfamiliar with Field Effect before consulting for an end user, I've come to appreciate it immensely. Now, it brings me real peace of mind. My advice to almost everyone I've talked to about Covalence is that in the first few months, there's gonna be a lot of leg work, bringing your systems up to date and in compliance with what the AROs are recommending. But once you have them up to date and know what to look for, it's pretty easy maintenance going forward of your network.

To a colleague who is interested in a cybersecurity solution but says they have never heard of the vendor Field Effect, the provider of Covalence, I would say definitely check it out. I would probably send them the onboarding material that I received when I first started with all of the information on how it works and why it is a benefit. I would rate Covalence a nine out of ten. I am quite happy with it. It is very user-friendly, but there is always room for improvement. There may be things that I do not understand because I am not fully tech-savvy, but it is doing what it is supposed to be doing as far as I am concerned. I am happy with the product and the service.
I rate Field Effect Covalence nine out of 10. Many people out there try to do it themselves. They'll try to use a freeware or open-source solution to build their own thing. I see this in my industry a lot. People try to maximize profits by finding the most inexpensive solutions out there and combining them all under one solution. However, at the end of the day, your team has to monitor them 24/7. If you're not, what's the point? It doesn't work. Trying to talk somebody out of building a better mouse trap is always hard.

I would rate Field Effect Covalence a nine out of ten. I've been extremely pleased with it overall. There are just a couple of minor areas in the web portal that could be improved for easier navigation. Apart from that, I've been incredibly happy with the service. No real maintenance is required for Covalence. For someone unfamiliar with Field Effect, I'd start with a quick internal product demo. This highlights key features and limitations, followed by directing them to their website and comprehensive support docs. Finally, I'd share my positive firsthand experience with the software. For large-scale deployments of Covalence, having an RMM solution or another multi-machine deployment method is crucial. While manual installation is feasible for smaller clients, efficiently managing broader deployments requires automated tools. Otherwise, the setup process itself is straightforward.
Field Effect Covalence is a 24x7 vulnerability scanning solution for your environment, identifying risks to local/remote endpoints as well as cloud-based accounts and resources. Performing proactive maintenance on areas of risk is much more effective than waiting for boom and then reacting. Saying that, Covalence integrates very effectively with endpoint anti-malware to notify and if necessary lockdown threats. It also identifies and notify of potential cloud-based account compromise, such as brute-force attempts and impossible travel. It is the most effective XDR solution in the cybersecurity space and significantly superior to the likes of SentinelOne, Arctic Wolf, Blackpoint, Crowdstrike, Huntress etc. It provides peace of mind for you and your clients, plus a consider saving on the need to employ dedicated expensive security professionals in-house.
I would rate Field Effect Covalence a nine out of ten. Someone interested in a cybersecurity solution but has never heard of Field Effect Covalence, should check it out. To anyone looking at Field Effect Covalence, I recommend doing their homework, doing a demo, comparing pricing, and ensuring it fits their environment.
I would rate Field Effect Covalence a ten out of ten. Field Effect Covalence is a hidden gem in the managed service provider industry. We partnered with them early on, and it's fantastic to witness their growth, participation in trade shows, and proactive initiatives like this one to raise awareness. Having experienced its effectiveness firsthand, I wholeheartedly recommend Field Effect Covalence as the best-kept secret solution we've encountered. Any MSP would be well-served by considering them. Organizations must avoid the need for additional resources simply to handle endless false positives and threat alerts. Managed detection and response services are designed to save time and resources with a proactive defense. Choosing a solution like Field Effect and Covalence allows us to maintain our current staffing levels while gaining awareness of vulnerabilities. This means we don't need to build a dedicated security team or hire a Chief Security Officer. Covalence takes care of it all, making it a perfect fit for an MSP. Ultimately, we want a company that's there to support us whenever we need them.
I would rate Field Effect Covalence ten out of ten. Covalence only requires minimal patch updates with no other maintenance. I highly recommend Field Effect Covalence. The amount of unseen threats is unbelievable and Field Effect Covalence brings them to light.

When it comes to managing Covalence, it's easy in the sense that all the information is there, but it's not automatic. You can't just plug it in and go to the golf course or take a nap. Someone has to review it and follow up, especially on the endpoints. It's like the weather: things change every day. New emails come in, and that's probably the biggest attack vector. There are always new threat actors. It's not difficult, but you need to monitor it and respond to whatever shows up on your dashboard. You need to keep all your systems up-to-date, patched, and secure. It helps. For example, Zoom updates their software just about every week. Everyone knows, "Okay, we have to update soon," because Covalence runs a comparison of identified vulnerabilities, and they always show up. Covalence doesn't cover physical assets, but it covers all the digital resources: networks, endpoints, and the cloud. It is installed and monitoring all the traffic on all of those systems. It is the product that does everything. If you haven't heard of Field Effect, you should consider it. What sold me is that it is a complete solution that is priced competitively. And I'm not saying that I bought it on price alone, but it ticked all the boxes that I was looking for: endpoint, network, cloud, and it wasn't $24,000 a year. For a small company, that's a sizable amount. There just wasn't an SMB product that could compete with Covalance when I was looking. Maybe there is one out there now, but I have sat in on so many presentations and I didn't see any for small and medium-sized businesses like Covalence. Maybe now that the enterprise market is saturated, Arctic Wolf is coming out with a less feature-rich product priced for small-to-medium-sized businesses. But it's hard to compete with Covalence in that market based on its feature set and cost. The big takeaway is that we haven't been paralyzed by a cyberattack. I know it's stopping things. I don't know if there was some threat actor who tried to attack us and then said to themselves, "Oh, man, these guys have Covalence." For me, it's a case of job security that we haven't been attacked. If anything happens, they're going to look at me as the VP of IT and say, "It's your fault." But we haven't been attacked, and we see all the vulnerabilities. It's all laid out. It's monitoring every endpoint and every packet. For me, that's peace of mind.
I would rate Field Effect Covalence nine out of ten. Our environment is a Windows environment, and there are approximately 300 endpoints. People should consider Field Effect Covalence, which is a robust, scalable, and dependable solution that is certainly worth reviewing. Talk to some users who are currently using Covalence to get their feedback. Covalence is an enterprise-level solution that is both functionally rich and cost-effective.
I give the solution a nine out of ten. People should be prepared for the solution to quickly identify a lot of things that have gone unnoticed for some time. Field Effect Covalence is an excellent solution.
