"The threat hunting service is very useful for a security professional."
"The fact that it's from Microsoft, you don't have many false positives, unlike products from other vendors might have."
"It's great for investigating what's happening on a machine. They show a whole bunch of machine timeline events that are related to a security incident. They have quite good details on the things related to threat and vulnerability management, such as any weakness that has been disclosed publicly, assets that are exposed, and if there is an exploit active in the wild for that vulnerability. It can provide you with all such information, which is cool."
"Technical support is good."
"Even after restarting, it tries to quickly reestablish connection which is very helpful."
"It keeps us all accountable and ensures secure internet connections while we all work remotely."
"Their split tunneling feature has been very valuable to our company since implementing the Perimeter 81 solution."
"Logging back into Perimeter 81 is relatively user-friendly as I just need to re-type my Windows credentials in to access the VPN."
"The feature that I have found to be most valuable is the reputation that the company has regarding privacy. Nowadays, this is critical, especially when you do all of your work online."
"The benefits are really built into the underlying protocol, however, Perimeter81 makes these available in a user-friendly way."
"The setup is really easy...I rate the support team a ten out of ten."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I think Microsoft needs to improve some of the security aspects of Defender. The email part, in particular, needs to be improved in terms of security effectiveness."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint could improve by providing more user-friendly dashboards. They may be complicated for some."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint should include better automation that will make it faster to detect the latest threats happening across the world."
"Lacks some additional integration."
"It would be helpful if they included XDR features, on top of the EDR functionality."
"Its interface can be improved a little bit. We would like to have some sort of centralization. It should have something like a central server that is managing all the other clients. There are solutions from Kaspersky or ESET NOD32 that are really doing this kind of thing currently. We would like to see something similar from Microsoft."
"I would like to see improvement from a management perspective. We have had to depend on Intune for certain tasks."
"There are some areas in the proactive threats that are just overwhelming the SOC, so we've had to turn those off until we can figure out how to filter out the false positives."
"I don't know if it is technically feasible, however, if the Desktop App could be used as a Web App or a Chrome Extension it would be very nice."
"A Google Chrome extension would be handy instead of logging into the app."
"Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential."
"It would be nice to have a notification sound when Perimeter81 disconnects, as I sometimes don't notice when the icon shows that it's disconnected, and I end up wasting time waiting for my browser to load a page that shows an error, usually error 404."
"Currently, I am not able to define a different country or location, which can result in negative experiences as the tool is being recognized by websites and this can make it difficult to access them or force me to disable the program temporarily."
"The solution's speed of upload and download is an area where it lacks"
"One of the more negative experiences using Perimeter 81 is the fact that I am logged off after a pre-determined amount of time which cuts off access to some of my company's resources."
"In the future, maybe P81 can improve the network traffic balancing and redundancy."
