Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's what we use the CIS Benchmarks for. It's for employing hardening rules and keeping them up to date when things happen on our systems. So it's really configurations and stuff that harden and report back."

More SaltStack SecOps Pros →

"The tool will then detect any anomalies, such as an intruder who has breached the network, which can trigger the system lockdown feature if it's enabled and meets the defined threshold.""The granularity of applying the policies is valuable.""We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security.""The most valuable feature is the centralized console, which can handle different products that we have.""The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system.""The console and tools are very user-friendly.""The monitoring in the management console allows us to find out what is going wrong, and it gets reports even before the user reports it.""The advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server."

Cons
"This solution is really unusable from my perspective at this point. Overall, I would rate the solution a one of ten."

More SaltStack SecOps Cons →

"They need to develop a more flexible product that can be scaled such that it fits well into a small business or a bigger, enterprise-level solution.""A user or administrator making the policy in the DCS should have a very thorough knowledge of the operating system or policy making. You have to be very specific about the data structure.""Adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus.""There is plenty of room for improvement with this product, and it could start with platform metrics.""This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine.""It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily.""Agent management is a challenging task.""Could have better reporting capabilities and better support."
