Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."
"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."
"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is good for ELK Stack, the user experience is great because of its architecture. The ELK has a great performance and it has very good speed in the search and Kibana. Additionally, the visuals and dashboards and very nice and customizable."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"This solution can identify many threats inside the organization (compromised endpoints, configuration issues), as well as "outside" threats (botnets, network scanners, web-attacks, etc)."
 

Cons

"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"Search performance can be slow. The Raw Logs feature is painfully slow. And if we're talking about the newer, the Anywhere product, you can't even schedule reports on the thing. There are probably a dozen other features I'd really like to see there, but that would be one of the biggies."
"The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
"I've been using it just for my own personal upskilling in terms of how the product works. At the moment, it is pretty straightforward and simple, and it is working how it is supposed to. The feedback would come once it is deployed to customer sites. They'll be using it on a more frequent basis, and that's when the feedback would come in terms of the areas in which they're facing issues or are looking for simplicity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"It's affordable for most customers."
"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"So far, I feel the product's pricing is a good value. The technology is decent. You get what you pay for. I think it's fair."
