Find out what your peers are saying about CrowdStrike, Arctic Wolf Networks, Huntress and others in Managed Detection and Response (MDR)."One of the main benefits of Binary Defense MDR is the ability to easily meet with their support team to discuss any issues we encounter."
"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."
"The speed at which their services are reactive is valuable. Nowadays, when a threat hits an endpoint, you've got minutes, not hours or days. Their average response time is about four minutes on an alert. For anything that needs to be sent to us, it's about fourteen minutes, which is pretty good. They're the third SOC that I've used in fifteen years. By far, they are the quickest ones to act. When you're looking at prevention, that's a key factor."
"Binary Defense has a human service department that provides live monitoring for our systems."
"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 biggest aspect for us is that they are able to conform to our environment and utilize our tools. That way, we still maintain ownership of all the data and access to the applications, and we never lose control of the ability to run the solution ourselves if we need to."
"The best part about Binary Defense MDR is that it runs on everything, and they keep an eye on things 24/7."
"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 solution helps to detect some suspicious items for us and our clients."
"The most valuable feature is threat hunting."
"It is stable and scalable. It has good technical support."
"The product’s most valuable feature is rapid response."
"I like Sophos MDR's inbuilt feature for DLP (Data Loss Prevention)."
"The authentication it offers minimizes the risk of access."
"The most valuable feature of the Sophos Managed Threat Response is the central management capabilities and monitoring."
"The product as a whole is truly outstanding and it excels in detecting and responding to various types of cyberattacks."
"There are lots of benefits because it includes real-time network threat detection (RNT), IP spoofing prevention, and a 24/7 support system. There is also protection against ransomware attacks."
"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."
"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."
"We found a couple of bugs in the user interface."
"The most significant area for improvement is in support for non-English speakers; we're a global organization, so many of our users are not English speakers, which can make interacting with them a challenge. There's no Chinese language support, so we must rely on what we can do with the internet. We don't expect Binary Defense to build a language staff, but details can get lost in translation when we assume the whole world speaks English."
"We found that an earlier version of the agent had high memory usage and that was a bit concerning, but we raised the concern with their support team and they immediately replied that they had noticed the same thing and had a candidate fix already available... it totally fixed the issue."
"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."
"We should be able to isolate devices faster. They should shorten the time between clicking on a device to contain it and carrying out the action. That would be a welcome improvement."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The integration with third-party solutions as an area for slight improvement"
"Sophos MDR’s pricing is the biggest factor that needs improvement per customers and technical professionals."
"It could be more secure."
"Threat intelligence is an area for improvement for MDR."
"The product's pricing could be less expensive."
"They should improve XDR and threat protection capabilities for zero-day attacks."
"There is room for improvement in performance and upgrades."
"Sophos MDR lacks integration with MDM solutions."
