It monitors the latest threats and gives me a broader perspective of what's hitting us
Binary Defense's most valuable feature is the 24/7 monitoring and threat hunting. Their team checks the latest breaches and how they're done. The MDR team contains all their clients' accounts for this type of behavior. Their interface is customizable, but I don't need to tweak it much because it's already fairly intuitive. The dashboard shows all of our endpoints and threat hunting. You can see the false positives on the dashboard, showing the systems getting hit the most. Everything the solution protects is there so I can check everything in about 10 minutes. Integrating Binary Defense doesn't cause a noticeable slowdown in performance. It doesn't interfere with any programs that I've seen so far. Our environment is cloud-based, so no local servers are involved in our everyday endpoint activity. A few servers are in the stadium, and we put agents on them to monitor them. It works great. Binary Defense doesn't interfere with any of it.

Helps eliminate the workload on security teams, but the implementation process could be a little more streamlined
We use the solution for SOC and SIEM The product has helped me eliminate the workload on my security team. The product provides integrations with several different SaaS applications. The implementation process could be a little more streamlined. I have been using the solution for nine months.…

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very good. They are definitely competitive and they were lower at the time that we went with them."
"Binary Defense has changed its pricing model from being primarily based on the volume of data to one based on escalations and incidents they handle."
"Binary Defense MDR is priced competitively and may be slightly lower than CrowdStrike."
"After we acquired this platform, we met with a number of different vendors. Binary Defense came in with a proposal that was surprisingly affordable. In fact, we were able to recoup the cost of their services within a short period of time. This is because Binary Defense is able to provide the same level of security as a team of two or three in-house analysts but at a fraction of the cost. As a result, Binary Defense is saving us an estimated $250,000 to $300,000 per year."
"The pricing isn't that bad, it's very competitive. I don't feel that it's over-priced and I don't feel that it's under-priced."
"It's valued at the right price. Even with the number of endpoints we have, we don't feel that it's a lot more than any competitor. In fact, it might be less expensive when you look at the fact that you're getting a full flex SOC out of it along with the tools."
"The pricing is on target. Working with their sales team on pricing negotiations was a pleasant process. They were very respectful of the constraints we had and I feel that we're paying a fair price."
"The solution's price is spot on; if anything, it's slightly below the norm for most services. Compared to building the same team internally, it would cost more to create the same amount of capability than what we get from an external team. Price-wise, Binary Defense is in a great spot."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing is fair."
"I find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."
"The pricing is pretty competitive."
"It is more expensive than CrowdStrike, but it also has more features. I don't remember the amount, but I do remember that it was on the higher side. I believe we have five sensors, and the sensors have a yearly cost. We don't have any additional costs, but I know that if we have more features, they will add to the cost."
