Their team checks the latest breaches and how they're done."
"Binary Defense has a human service department that provides live monitoring for our systems."
"The best part about Binary Defense MDR is that it runs on everything, and they keep an eye on things 24/7."
"The most valuable features are the SIEM and the ticketing function; the latter is very smooth and easy to read and understand. We don't have any issues looking at the ticketing information when we're trying to identify what's going on."
"Among the valuable features are the agent, continuous reporting, and dashboard. It has all the features we need and we haven't had to customize it, other than turning on certain features that we wanted."
"The most valuable feature is reviewing tickets and the notes added by technicians."
"The customization has been the most valuable aspect and was really the reason we ended up selecting Binary Defense. They worked with us to provide exactly the level of support, features, response, and collaboration we needed."
"The most valuable part of Binary Defense is its team of cybersecurity analysts. Their analysts filter out the noise and only forward the critical threats that require a response instead of false positives."
"The product provides integrations with several different SaaS applications."
"The visibility into our endpoints is huge."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its ease of implementation."
"Arctic Wolf is laser-focused on providing top-notch customer service."
"Having quarterly meetings with the team to review the last 90 days and determine what if any changes need to be made."
"They provide useful quarterly updates."
"Arctic Wolf is our eyes and ears 24/7 because we can't possibly watch all of our alerts. We may see all of these alerts, but our attention is distracted because we're working on other things."
"This service makes answering audits much easier since it covers so many security best practices."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"The EDR product is simple to install. It is low maintenance. All the alerts go to Huntress first, and their analyst team reviews them and sends actionable things our way."
"While threat hunting is undoubtedly the most valuable feature, the combination of IP scanning, foothold identification, and canary monitoring has also proven to be incredibly beneficial."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The current reporting system could benefit from improvement."
"Binary Defense MDR could be even better with additional features, like automatic scans and file quarantine."
"I don't find any downside to them, but if I have to put one, it would be consistent manpower or staffing. The only area where the solution can be improved is going to be with people. As they grow, they are struggling with the same thing that every other company is, which is getting talent and getting that talent to stay, but they've just revised their tiering system to go from a flat analyst and manager to a three-tier solution where it goes through two or three before it gets elevated. That seems to have worked out well, so if one level misses it, the next one picks it up, and it works out fine."
"The only area I see for improvement with Binary Defense is their service portal. It could benefit from some enhancements."
"It's hard to think of anything that they need to improve on, but just to point out something, I would like to see them provide advanced XDR."
"If I were shopping for an MDR solution today, I would not only look for a company that has the ability to alert, detect, and remediate, but also the ability to integrate vulnerability management. That's a big thing that they're lacking today."
"I would like to see more frequent check-ins with our security status."
"I would like to get more reports from Binary Defense about what they're blocking."
"More integrations with various security tools to improve data ingestion would be beneficial."
"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"It can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."
"I would actually be interested in having fewer features at a lower price."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response's analysis and remediation parts could be improved. It's not bad, but it needs improvement."
"The implementation process could be a little more streamlined."
"I would like to see them build the ability to co-sell an EDR platform, manage an EDR or manage the actual response, potentially from the issues that are coming up from the security risks."
"We need an easier way to audit and act on agents."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
