Network detection enhances security while seamless integration boosts utility
I use Fortinet FortiNDR for its Network Detection features, primarily with FortiGate on-premises. However, I do not handle day-to-day operations myself; my team manages the tools. In general, there is no issue with FortiGate in our company Some of the valuable features include FortiGate's Network…

Constant monitoring and analysis boosts network security
There is always room for improvement. I am not giving it a perfect score because I am sure there is something that could be enhanced.Having some sort of certification or training, along with more periodic webinars might be helpful. Having a larger support network would be beneficial. Nobody I know has heard of Lumu, so they are in the same space as Darktrace or CrowdStrike, but people give blank stares. As the community grows for Lumu then that will improve, but that is not really a criticism of Lumu, they simply have not been around that long.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The dashboards are very informative compared to other solutions like Cisco, providing valuable insights into network threats."
"With this solution, you don’t need to invest in expensive cybersecurity software because you can operate within the product easily."
"You can access external links, playbooks, MITRE Matrix, and a lot of information."
"Most of it is automated, so I do not have to watch it to get alerts."
"The context provided by the tool is very complete, it includes the miter matrix, playbooks, links, hashes, and much more."
"The tool's support team helps partners resolve any problems with the product."
"It's been helpful for overall extended network visibility."

"Lumu has allowed us to operate cybersecurity in a better way, with a manageable number of incidents that contain all the context including the Mitre matrix and much more, while providing visibility across on-premise, cloud, remote environments, and IoT such as IP cameras, with automatic mitigation that lets our team focus only on incidents that require our full attention."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in third-party integrations, particularly with other vendors like Check Point and Palo Alto."
"I would like to see the inclusion of sandboxing in the bundling. Currently, sandbox is not included in our package."
"I am happy with the current features. However, one important one is to improve the reports."
"Nothing so far needs to be improved."
"Having a larger support network would be beneficial. Nobody I know has heard of Lumu, so they are in the same space as Darktrace or CrowdStrike, but people give blank stares."
"The reports need improvement."
"Lumu's ability to discover threats is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"It would be good if we could access the physical logs."
"The integration with different vendors and endpoints could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is the cheapest solution we found."
"The tool is available at a good price. The tool offers a good and competitive price for customers."
"Compared to Lumu, other solutions are more expensive. SentinelOne was a bit cheaper, and another provider's price structure is unclear, but Lumu fit our budget nicely. SentinelOne's cost depends on the number of devices, and it might be similar to Lumu's, depending on deployment."
