Stops ransomware before it executes and reduces response time for the team

A potential area of improvement for Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is their focus on file uploads and large data storage, backups, and other related areas. It is difficult to think of what they could improve, but low information provided by the system when it detects something is one area, particularly in scripting. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform detects malicious scripts but it needs better measures, perhaps signing scripts, so we can be sure that a script is created by a client, not by some malware. It is really about helping us triage incidents effectively, so a bit more help with the analysis of incidents, particularly what the Deep Instinct Prevention Platform agent has discovered, would be beneficial. We need to know what it has spotted that makes it suspect malware.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has given us a more structured approach for detecting and preventing threats. It has machine learning-based detection and prevention. Their engines, in even older versions, are able to pick these viruses and malware. They have posted a lot of use cases online for detecting different viruses and malware that have been out for many years."

"It has a very low false-positive ratio. That is important because it means we're not wasting time... We're able to run that entire 20,000-endpoint base with just a handful of engineers."

"It's just a single agent that has everything in it... With the EDR solutions, you have to install it, then you have another service history installed, and you have behavioral analytics, etc. With this, everything is in a single small "box," a small agent that has pretty much got everything."

"The support is very good. They reply and respond very quickly."

"The detection rate is very high. In all the testing with around 20 partners in different environments, quite a lot of them had installed with other anti-malware applications, like Sophos. This software can co-exist with those applications in the same machine. This is impressive."

"Deep Instinct's detection rate is close to 100 percent."

"The product offers integration capabilities and is also easy to use."

"Deep Instinct was a strategic complement to our Open XDR platform."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pros

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

Cons

"I think it's probably the administration, especially the administration platform, which could be improved in the solution. It's clunky and hard to navigate, especially for inexperienced technicians."

"If the client is working remotely and doesn't have a VPN then the deployment is difficult to do."

"I would like to see improvement in the user interface so that the user has more control. For example, it would be good if a user could change their grouping if they want to be part of another group. Or if I want to right-click and scan a specific file that I just imported, that would be helpful. Sometimes you just want to do an extra scan to make sure you're safe."

"I would like a little more training for the admins."

"If they can bring some additional, complementary solutions, like network scanning and the like, that will help. If they had some sort of a firewall which could help detect DDoS attacks and other things, it would be an improvement"

"Some features are too resource intensive."

"They have a manual, but it is not excessive."

"Deep Instinct Prevention Platform detects malicious scripts but it needs better measures, perhaps signing scripts, so we can be sure that a script is created by a client, not by some malware."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform cons

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are a nonprofit. The MSP had provides pretty decent nonprofit rates for us. This was one of the key factors that made us choose Deep Instinct over its competitors who were significantly more expensive."

"One thing about their licensing program that I like is that just one covers the server as well as on the endpoint as well as mobile devices. There is no complexity in calculating how many SKUs I need for mobile, for laptop, for desktop, and for servers. It's very simple and that makes it much easier to budget."

"Its pricing is too high, but that is not because of the product. It is expensive because of the cost of the console. You need a console to control the whole thing, but the console is expensive. You have to split this cost among all possible users. Normally, to be able to make it economically attractive, you need at least 1,000 agents, PCs, or users. If you have a customer with 300 to 500 agents, PCs, or users, it becomes too pricey."

"The pricing is a little bit expensive but we are satisfied with DI's performance."

"Their pricing is very competitive. It is good, fair, and a lot cheaper than what we were doing with Cylance."

"There are no additional costs on the price, and our company has a support contract, which bundles in those services anyway."

"There is a need for customers of the product to pay towards the licensing costs of the tool."

"If I include the false positive rate and the detection rate in the comparison, Deep Instinct is worth its price."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pricing and cost advice

"The price is comparable."

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."

"The product has average pricing."
