Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable aspect is undoubtedly the exploration capability""I like 365 Defender's advanced threat hunting. The dashboard is user-friendly with templates for site policies, etc. The most important use case is evaluating the risk links and applications.""It's a great threat intelligence source for us, providing alerts for things it detects on the network and on the machines. We've used it often when there is a potential incident to see what was done on a computer. That works quite nicely because you can see everything that the user has done...""The product integrates security into one tool instead of having third-party security tools.""The most valuable feature is the network security.""The comprehensiveness of Microsoft's threat detection is good.""The unified view of the threat landscape on a central dashboard is the most valuable feature.""Scanning, vulnerability reporting, and the dashboard are the most valuable features."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Pros →

"The forensics within the solution are quite good. The ransomware mitigation is also impressive.""I am impressed with the tool's common dashboard feature. The solution is also easy to deploy and manage. Reporting is also easy with the software.""The product is user-friendly.""It is easy to interact with, and its cost is also good.""Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams.""The most valuable feature is the anti-ransomware capability. It's been helpful because we have been seeing a lot of information around what the ransomware hit.""The patches on offer are very helpful.""The EDR (Enhanced Data Detection and Response) and the DLP (Data Loss Prevention) components are valuable assets."

More Intercept X Endpoint Pros →

"Our impressions of the solution's ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions is perfect.""The solution is both stable and scalable.""It has the ability to rollback a ransomware infection instantly and with minimal disruption to the user & provides robust reporting.""It has helped to reduce our organizational risks.""The Storyline feature has significantly affected our incident response time. Originally, what would take us hours, now it takes us several minutes.""It is great for security monitoring and blocking when needed.""SentinelOne is the next-generation EDR solution.""The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability, as opposed to the traditional rule-based antivirus."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete Pros →

Cons
"The price should be adjustable by region.""Improving scalability, especially for very large tenants, could be beneficial for Microsoft Defender XDR.""The cost can be high if you want to build custom license packages. Another area for improvement is the policies. In Azure, we need to implement policies in JSON format, but in 365 Defender 365, it would be helpful to use a different format so we can customize the platform.""Support is hit or miss. Microsoft wants you to buy premium support contracts. Though they call themselves professional support, it's almost like throwing questions into a black hole. You get an answer, but it's never helpful.""From an integration standpoint, it is always improving overall. With Security Copilot coming out, as partners, we are waiting for the GDAP support so that we can actually see Security Copilot on behalf of customers if they subscribe to it.""There should be better information for experts on features in the solution. What I see when reading about features in Microsoft 365 Defender is that it is always general information. If Microsoft could go deeper into details for the experts about how to use the tools, usage of it would be more familiar and it would be easier to use.""One of the biggest downsides of Microsoft products, in general, is that the menus are often difficult to find, as they tend to move from place to place between versions.""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."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Cons →

"The initial setup can be a bit challenging.""The customer service and support could be improved in regards to response time. It could be faster.""As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of.""Sophos has a lot of different features. Some of them are tied to different clients, which may mean that different prices or licenses have to be added on. It can be a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with the logic of how they work. They can make it a little bit clearer.""The solution's pricing could be better.""The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface.""Intercept X could enhance its support services, particularly in terms of response time and resource allocation.""We've had difficulty with uninstalling the solution. When we try to uninstall an old version of the basic Sophos Antivirus, it doesn't seem to uninstall completely."

More Intercept X Endpoint Cons →

"Improvements for SentinelOne's Singularity Complete could include adjusting pricing for specific markets, ensuring affordability, and better alignment with customer expectations in those regions.""SentinelOne Singularity Complete should focus on analytical data. Backend aggregation can make things faster in the front end.""I'd like to see more documentation.""They should train their own people so that they can train us better. The theory is good.""It's good on Linux, and Windows is pretty good except that the Windows agents sometimes ask for a lot of resources on the endpoints. That could be in the fine-tuning for scanning. In Mac, they are complaining about the same problems, that it's using a lot of resources, but that could also be that we have to configure what it is scanning and what it should not scan. Currently it scans everything.""I would appreciate it if they would consider providing a comprehensive vulnerability assessment report that goes beyond just application vulnerabilities.""I've had some issues with the specific agents, however, we are moving off of that particular OS that we were having issues with. Other than that, it's been a pretty solid tool.""I would like to have a remote desktop feature added so we can remotely access our endpoints."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • More Microsoft Defender XDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
  • "The price is pretty good."
  • "When you start going to the EDR technologies and the MTR, it is a little bit expensive. It's a very good technology, and obviously, you're going to pay for it, but the pricing could do a little bit of work."
  • "We were able to eliminate the ransomware using the one-month, full-featured trial license."
  • "Licensing is based on the number of users. They give a discount for editors who are considered as important members. From what I know, Sophos products are not expensive. If you have a license extension, you just need to contact the editor or partner to change the mode of licensing or extend the license to cover more people."
  • "Intercept X for endpoints is around $35 per user per year. The server version is $95 per server per year."
  • "I find the pricing to be a little bit expensive, although it is acceptable, for now."
  • "The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."
  • More Intercept X Endpoint Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is competitive, if you compare it with other solutions on the market."
  • "Spend money on the security for the endpoint."
  • "The price for it is very competitive compared to other Next Gen EPP."
  • "The per-seat cost is low, but you have to commit to a certain number of licenses for a year."
  • "The larger count you have, the deeper discount you will receive in your contract."
  • "Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."
  • "USD$6 per end point which decreases as end points increase."
  • "Pricing is a bit of a pain point. That's where we have not been able to convince all of our customers to use SentinelOne. The pricing is still on the higher side. It's almost double the price, if not more, of a normal antivirus, such as NOD32, Kaspersky, or Symantec."
