We performed a comparison between Red Canary and SentinelOne Vigilance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"Binary Defense has a human service department that provides live monitoring for our systems."
"With Binary Defense, we don't just get an alert, but also a detailed rundown of why they're alerting us on it. They tell us what was executed, or the username, script, or IP. That way, we're not wasting time investigating."
"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 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."
"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 case interface is Binary Defense MDR's most valuable feature."
"The near real-time review translates into near real-time action. So, in addition to alerting, Red Canary MDR has response playbooks built out."
"The solution works well for what we use it for and the support and protection are good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part."
"The most valuable features of Red Canary MDR are its modeled after the MITRE ATT&CK framework and we can easily automate the containment of the endpoint. Additionally, it is easy to use and we have never had an issue with it."
"The valuable features of this solution are it integrates well with different EDR software, such CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black, and the information it provides is helpful."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is protection against ransomware and malware."
"SentinelOne has a rollback feature that has helped them gain popularity in the market. No other competitors of the solution including Cisco, Fortinet, or Cortex XDR have this feature. SentinelOne is a kernel-independent solution. We don’t need to check the kernel dependency on the Linux platform. They also commit to a 100 percent recovery from ransomware attacks. The solution has rollback features for ransomware on Windows."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is an endpoint security tool with quarantining, dashboards showing us information, and many capabilities like manual and automatic quarantine of environmental issues."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"In our company, we use SentinelOne Vigilance for security purposes. We not only use it to detect viruses but also to monitor any activities on the endpoints so that we can take appropriate measures to mitigate any potential threats."
"I would rate SentinelOne's customer service and support a five out of five."
"The initial setup process was straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"Binary Defense MDR could be even better with additional features, like automatic scans and file quarantine."
"The current reporting system could benefit from improvement."
"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."
"In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users."
"I would like there to be an on-premise version of this solution for our data centers because of the proliferation of online threats."
"There should be an easier way to update agents to new levels in Red Canary MDR. However, it is not a huge issue but it would help."
"The most valuable feature of Red Canary MDR is the overall threat protection it provides."
"The price could always be better."
"SentinelOne Vigilance could improve if it provided us with more control over the dashboard."
"The solution's memory forensics capabilities and hard disk capacities are quite basic."
"I have found issues with the solution’s stability and implementation. The solution has performance issues. I would like the solution to launch the rollback plan for ransomware on Linux and Mac. It should be something similar to the support that Windows gets."
"The solution should add endpoint clients for mobile and Linux devices because it currently doesn't support them."
"Sometimes, SentinelOne Vigilance also detects false positives, which are not true. In such cases, we need to make changes in the policies on the dashboard accordingly."
"When upgrades are required on the server, you need to almost remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely off the system. We put SentinelOne Vigilance on silence for the monitor mode, but we were having trouble upgrading the server. I had to remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely from the server, but that meant that all the previous logs of attacks I wanted to look at on the server were gone. This is one thing they need to improve, they need better compatibility with the Microsoft Windows service. I should not have to remove the agent completely to upgrade the service."
"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't actively monitor incoming emails or offer an email plugin for Outlook."
"SentinelOne Vigilance's integration capabilities with other products can be considered as an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
