| Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees | 4.0 | I've used Field Effect MDR for eight months to keep my customers secure, appreciating its update detection, but faced licensing and server installation issues. While support helps, it's time-consuming, and I haven't seen an ROI yet. |
| Chief Security Officer at Intelligent Technical Solutions | 5.0 | We use Field Effect MDR for delivering managed IT services, appreciating its comprehensive visibility across various environments. While its alert management is efficient, it could improve by expanding cloud application support to include more commonly used integrations. |
| Security & GRC Executive at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | Field Effect MDR provides comprehensive security solutions that include host-based protection, DNS firewalls, and cloud monitoring, though its user interface and SIEM capabilities need improvement. Enhanced patch management and application allowlisting features would further strengthen its offerings. |
| Cybersecurity Operations Manager at Attitude IT | 5.0 | Field Effect MDR is integral to our security stack, providing valuable alerts and proactive protection. While it doesn't replace our entire solution suite, adding an email filter would enhance it. We chose it over ThreatLocker due to better onboarding and pricing. |
| Vice President at Owen Faricy Motor Company | 4.5 | I use Field Effect Covalence to monitor endpoints at our automotive dealerships. Its AROs and endpoint views are valuable, though it lacks timely updates and manual endpoint removal. Despite no measurable ROI, its cybersecurity potential is significant. |
| Architecte de solution TI (Sales Engineer) at BGM Informatique | 4.5 | We primarily use Field Effect MDR for client security, offering comprehensive protection across workstations and accounts. Valuable features include DNS firewall capabilities and alert management. While some areas need improvement, recent pricing adjustments and responsive feedback have been beneficial. |
| Operations Support Specialist at SupportMyMac | 4.5 | As an IT company managing diverse clients, we chose Field Effect MDR for its valuable 24/7 monitoring. While it excels in technology, improvements in cybersecurity training are needed. The ROI is substantial, outperforming alternatives like Huntress. |
| Director of Operations at Intega IT | 5.0 | We are an IT-managed service provider using Field Effect Covalence for cybersecurity, appreciating features like threat detection and suspicious email analysis. This resulted in a 35% business growth, though integration of third-party patching would enhance efficiency. |
