Senior Relationship Banker at Joint stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of V
Experience boosts operational efficiency while performance sees room for improvement
I don't have specific information on whether it was purchased on the AWS marketplace or somewhere else. I am working with Dynatrace Operator. I am also working with Algosec, Alluvio, CrowdStrike, Firemon, Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, and other solutions. I think it's a good tool, and I am satisfied with it. We have not stored cloud workloads with Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline yet; we are still on-premises. The technical support takes about one to two hours to respond, which is acceptable. I am satisfied with the scalability of the product. The interface is good.
Anthony Tuhame - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Technology Manager at Everseen
Continuous threat monitoring has strengthened our endpoint protection and reduced false positives
Key improvements I would like to see include fewer false positives. I understand that almost all EDR or cybersecurity platforms cannot be 100 percent accurate, but I need to see fewer false positives. Another thing I want to see is improved threat detection accuracy. I want them to improve their AI and investigations and implement a faster investigation process. I would recommend them to invest heavily in machine learning. I would also recommend introducing onboarding calls before someone purchases the software because we faced a challenge whereby we had no idea about how to install it in our system. We had to rely on documentation and support, but if they could offer onboarding calls, it would be great.
