| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Director, Information Technology at a educational organization with 201-500 employees | 4.0 | We use Lumu as our managed SOC for security event coordination, finding its automated incident response and platform extendability impressive. While minimal in false positives and cost-effective, more community growth and support would enhance usability. |
| IT Director at Atlantic Quantum Innovations | 4.5 | I find Lumu valuable for quickly addressing threats, though integration with vendors and detailed reporting could improve. While Lumu lacks dedicated endpoint protection, it remains solid despite not being as comprehensive as solutions like CrowdStrike and Darktrace. |
| Network Security Analyst at ALACHUA COUNTY ITS | 5.0 | Lumu automates most alerts, enabling us to respond efficiently based on collected data. Although we've seen a return on investment, accessing physical logs could be faster. We haven't considered or used other solutions and have no specific cloud provider. |
| Network Security Analyst at ALACHUA COUNTY ITS | 5.0 | We utilize Lumu for enhanced network visibility, focusing on firewall logging, active blocking, and email monitoring. Its simplified packet information improves response efficiency. Previously using Alienvault, we found Lumu met all our cybersecurity needs with no improvements necessary. |
| Chief Solutions Architect at a government with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | I implemented Lumu for network detection to identify and block threats, appreciating its user-friendly interface and support services. Although the free version is limited, I recommend Lumu over other solutions due to its functionality and ease of use. |
| Information security and quality engineer at Federacion de Aseguradores Colombianos Fasecolda | 5.0 | I value Lumu's automated threat analysis, providing quick insights and context for my hybrid network. It's easy to use, supports remote work, and implementation was quick. While reports need improving, I'm satisfied and plan to upgrade. |
| Deputy Manager Technical Support at Restaurantes TOKS | 5.0 | I value Lumu for identifying network compromises, providing complete context, and automating responses in my hybrid environment. It improved my cybersecurity operations and reduced alert fatigue. However, I believe its management reports need enhancement. |
| CIO at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees | 4.0 | In my experience with Lumu, it effectively complements other tools for monitoring and detecting ransomware in real-time within our environment. However, its threat discovery capabilities could improve. The tool provides a decent ROI within a few months. |
