We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting.""The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location.""LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs.""It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring.""The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting.""It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm.""What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems.""Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."

"Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution.""All of the security components are valuable including, antiphishing, antispam, and stage three antivirus.""Having a single pane of glass for all Microsoft security services makes everything much easier. A security analyst can go to a single portal and see everything in one view. The integration of everything into one portal is a huge benefit.""Scanning, vulnerability reporting, and the dashboard are the most valuable features.""The most valuable feature depends on the scenario. For compliance, I like Microsoft Purview Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention. Sentinel is the most helpful feature for security. 365 Defender helps us prioritize threats across an enterprise. It's a crucial feature for the managed services team.""It has been great for us. Previously, we didn't have a solution to protect us, especially from malware, whereas now, we are getting protection up front, especially from the malware attacks coming through emails or endpoints.""Microsoft Defender XDR is scalable.""Microsoft XDR's system of analysis and investigation is super convenient for our customers. It integrates with other Microsoft solutions like Defender for 365 to protect email traffic from malicious external web links and phishing."

Cons
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par.""The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it.""It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved.""The search feature needs to be improved.""What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product.""It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices.""LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users.""The UI could be improved a little bit."

"What could be improved in Microsoft 365 Defender is its licensing, e.g. it should be more consolidated and would be good if it has some optimizations. Improving the alerts and notifications, in terms of adding more details, would also be good for this solution.""At times, there may be delays in the execution of certain actions and their effects.""Just like in any solution, the price can always be cheaper.""There could be a way to proactively monitor unusual activity .""Automated playbooks and automated dashboards would be preferable to the way the data is currently being presented.""The price could be better. It'll also help if they can continuously update and upgrade the solution. Every day there's a new virus uploaded into the network, and we have to keep updating it to identify all these things.""Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs.""Advanced attacks could use an improvement."

  • "The solutions price is fair for what they offer."
  • "The price could be better. Normally, the costs depend on the country you're located in for the license. When we were in the initial stage, we went with the E5 license they call premium standard. It cost us around $5.20 per month for four users."
  • "The price of the solution is high compared to others and we have lost some customers because of it."
  • "Microsoft is not competitive with the pricing of the solution. The competitors are able to offer lower discounts. The price of the solution is higher."
  • "We have a lot of problems in Latin America regarding the price of Microsoft 365 Defender, because the relationship between dollars and the money of the different countries, it's is a lot. Many customers that have small businesses say that they would like the solution but it is too expensive. However, large companies do not find the cost an issue."
  • "The most valuable licensing option is expensive, so pricing could be improved. Licensing options for this solution also need to be consolidated, because they frequently change."
  • "Microsoft should provide lower-level licensing options. They should do it in such a way that even an individual could purchase a license, and it should be entirely flexible."
  • "They have moved from a licensing model to pay-per-use... The question is: What happens if, for any reason, there's not enough budget to accept this model? That could be a great problem."
