Cloud-based administration streamlines network security management
ExtraHop Reveal(x) can improve regarding integration capabilities. For instance, the market is getting really flooded with Microsoft Sentinel, and I know there is an integration possible, but the tools on the market right now indicate that integration should not be a skill from an integrator point of view. It should be quite easy for customers to integrate that solution into SOCs, SIEMs, or any other integration with other tools. There are various integrations from which there's a manual on how to do it, but specifically, the Microsoft portfolio, particularly Sentinel, integration is not yet there. If you score them on a scale of one to ten, ExtraHop scores around a 7.5 to an 8 on an integration basis, but there's actually room for improvement on that side. In the older days, ExtraHop had a license model where you could do all you can eat, so if you had a sensor with 10 gig of capacity, you could use all the entire 10 gig of throughput. They changed that to an asset-based license model, and that's an absolute downside of the solution, where it is harder for smaller companies to acquire the solution itself. That has given us quite some problems in positioning the solution properly within the network, so the licensing model is an absolute downside where they need to improve.

Helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence
The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources. It does a very good job in correlating and identifying threat actors. Its integration with other products such as HCI, Firewall, and VDI solution for native control and detection also adds significant value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security features of this solution are the most valuable."
"When there are performance issues with an HTTP app, ExtraHop enables us to identify the causes within a few minutes. We can see what transactions are being impacted by something that may be happening within the server environment."
"ExtraHop Reveal(x) is one of the tools that works out of the box when it comes to threat hunting."
"The solution offers a friendly GUI for security features."
"We had useful information within the hour of deployment. The ability to trace back for historical analysis, as well as the behavioral analysis done with the security information, puts the user in a position to make an informed decision to mitigate the performance or security incidents. Regarding the security incidents, Reveal (x) is able to create incident cards that guide your teams through the incidents and gives you the option to delve into the transaction detail to potentially view payloads as well."
"The ability ExtraHop Reveal(x) has to mitigate risk from external IP addresses has been a lifesaver for us."
"ExtraHop has improved our service drastically, and in that sense, it has saved us money because we can quickly identify problems."
"ExtraHop Reveal(x) is highly recommended and very good."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources."
"Sangfor Cyber Command has helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence."
"The tool is a good product in the NDR market. Its valuable features are ease of management and breach of response features. It is an easy-to-learn solution."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive and gets more expensive if a company needs to scale it."
"ExtraHop Reveal(x) could improve by allowing a longer look back in the feature. Right now you have a limit of 30 days to look back on your activity. I've used Darktrace before, and they allow you the ability to play back events. This would be a good feature to have in ExtraHop Reveal(x)."
"The solution should include more support protocols."
"Netflow - Processing Netflow can be cumbersome as it requires triggers to truly gain value and insight. This in turn can add a bit of load to the hardware. The focus of ExtraHop Reveal (x) is live packet data."
"I would like to see more cloud capability."
"I would rate the price a three out of five. It could be less expensive."
"Setting up ExtraHop is complex because we needed a nuanced understanding of the data flows into our data center."
"I think the tuning capabilities could be improved. We're working on minimizing false positives. Apart from that, everything seems fine to me."
"The product needs to improve its dashboard. Integration with existing systems has been challenging. When comparing it with Trend Micro, which offers an all-in-one NDR solution, the tool's integration process can be difficult."
"The solution could improve by incorporating email security."
"Technical support could be improved, and I rate them a seven. The support team has fewer cybersecurity resources capable of managing Cyber Command compared to other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate ExtraHop Reveal(x) six out of 10 for affordability. We pay for an annual license. It's always one of those trade-offs. You get a lot of value, but ExtraHop isn't exorbitantly priced. You can pay extra for additional features like the ability to decode HL7 traffic, which is crucial for EMR environments."
"The solution is based on an annual subscription model and is expensive."
"I rate the price of ExtraHop Reveal(x) a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"I would rate the price a three out of five. It could be less expensive."
