Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have found the ability to delete unwanted threats beneficial.""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.""Another noteworthy feature that I find appealing in Microsoft Defender is the credit-backed simulation. This feature enables organizations to train their users on effectively responding to phishing emails through a simulated training environment.""The most valuable feature is probably the aggregation and correlation of the different telemetry points with Defender for Identity, Defender for Endpoint, and Defender for Cloud Apps. All of these various things are part of that portal. We've wanted that single pane of glass for years.""The attack simulation is excellent; initially, this feature wasn't very robust, but Microsoft improved what we could achieve with it. We can now customize our practice phishing emails and include our company logo, for example. Attack simulation also helps integrate with third-party solutions where applicable and provides an overview of our security architecture through testing. The summary includes areas for improvement in our protection and what steps we need to take to get there.""The visibility into threats is also very impressive because Microsoft helps you predict things and provides analytics to help you really improve your security. And all of this technology works across the domain, so it is pretty helpful in terms of threat analytics.""The ability to integrate and observe a more cohesive narrative across the products is crucial.""It gives a lot of flexibility in terms of configuration and customization as per the business requirements."

"The advantage of the solution is being able to go look up threat actors and get a lot of detailed information about different attacks and different tactics and general information about threats.""It is so valuable to have someone performing these functions outside of our business hours when we don't have staff in the building. We've seen a lot of solid metrics on the amount of malware that it's detecting and resolving. We're pleased with it so far.""The feature I have found most valuable is directory monitoring. We experienced an instance of threat actors trying to ensure a complex and massive attack against our customer's infrastructure on the forum. That is, they were animating people on a formum. The solution alerted us to this two days ahead of the attack, which gave us plenty of time to prepare for it."

"The product gives us a lot of insight.""The solution is very easy to set up."

More Tenable One Exposure Management Platform Pros →

Cons
"The logs could be better.""When we do investigations, it would be better if Microsoft could populate the host dashboard more. When we open any host for investigation, we want the entire timeline of what is happening on the host, including all the users logging in, their hardware, Windows version, etc.""Correctly updated records are the most significant area for improvement. There have been times when we were notified of a required fix; we would carry out the fix and confirm it but still get the same notification a week later. This seems to be a delay in records being updated and leads to false reporting, which is something that needs to be fixed.""There is no common area where we can manage all the policies for the EDR, third-party solutions, devices, servers, Windows, Mac, etc., but it's on the road map, and we ware waiting for that feature.""The message trace feature for investigating mail flow issues should add more detailed information to the summary report... if they could extend the summary report a little bit, make it more descriptive, ordinary administrators could understand what happened and that the emails failed at this or that point. That way they would know the location to go to try to correct it and to prevent it from occurring again.""I personally have not seen much evidence of how Defender can enhance the story of zero trust for enterprises.""Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs.""At times, there may be delays in the execution of certain actions and their effects."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Cons →

"Mandiant's on-prem client is too processor-intensive, so it's putting a strain on the local device's CPU. When a scan is running on the device, the other processing tasks slow to a crawl. We're still trying to figure out the correct settings for the client.""They could have better support. Now that they've merged, they are moving towards a portal system, which isn't very helpful.""I think that the data query that is used for data cloud language should be improved. It's really hard to query actual data from the platform."

More Mandiant Advantage Cons →

"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies.""The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."

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."

    Mandiant Advantage is a multi-vendor XDR platform that provides security teams of all sizes with frontline intelligence. Mandiant Advantage aims to speed up operational as well as strategic security and risk decision making. Mandiant Advantage provides security teams with an early knowledge advantage through the Mandiant Intel Grid, which provides platform modules with current and relevant threat data and analysis capabilities. Organizations are better protected from cyber attacks and more confident in their readiness when they have access to continuous security validation, detection, and response.

    Mandiant Advantage Features

    Mandiant Advantage has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • Threat intelligence: Front-line intelligence that enables a defender to be aware of the strategies and tactics that opponents are employing at this moment. Organizations will be able to contextualize, prioritize, and implement the most pertinent new intelligence by fusing ASM and threat intelligence.
    • Security validation: This allows security teams to optimize, rationalize, and prioritize their security activities from a budget and manpower viewpoint. It measures the effectiveness of security controls applied within an organization. Controls can be evaluated against the most recent TTPs actively used by threat actors by incorporating information into the security validation procedure. Organizations can determine whether their security policies are successfully thwarting or detecting attacks against their external attack surface by integrating ASM and security validation.
    • Automated Defense: In order to fuel SOC event/alert correlation and triage, Automated Defense combines knowledge and intelligence with machine learning. This is similar to integrating a machine-based Mandiant analyst into your security program. By merging ASM and Automated Defense, more context is given to Automated Defense, enhancing the relevance and usefulness of alarms.
    • Attack surface management: ASM offers a continuous, scalable method for locating hundreds of different asset and exposure types within on-premises, cloud, and SaaS application environments. In addition to assets being found, technologies in use are also identified, and vulnerabilities are confirmed rather than just speculated. Cyber defenders are able to effectively and efficiently limit their external exposures by integrating the full Mandiant Advantage suite into ASM, which prioritizes and validates the information regarding the attack surface.

    Mandiant Advantage Benefits

    There are many benefits to implementing Mandiant Advantage. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

    • Boost your current security investments: No matter what security policies you have implemented, you may improve your security capabilities by automating Mandiant's expertise as a virtual extension of your team.
    • Improve your visibility and priority: View the threats Mandiant is continuously monitoring across your attack surface and internal controls in order to prioritize and drive focus.
    • Flexible deployment: Depending on your needs, Mandiant Advantage can be supplied as technology, along with support, or as a fully managed contract.
    • Scale efficiently: Without the need for time-consuming and expensive human labor, a SaaS-based strategy deploys in hours, scales with your environment, and provides constant expert analysis.
    You can now translate technical asset, vulnerability and threat data into clear business insights and actionable intelligence for security executives. Combine broad exposure coverage spanning IT assets, cloud resources, containers, web apps and identity platforms, with threat intelligence and data science from Tenable Research. Focus efforts to prevent likely attacks and accurately communicate cyber risk to support optimal business performance.
