"The integration, visibility, vulnerability management, and device identification are valuable."
"Microsoft Defender's most critical component is its CASB solution. It has many built-in policies that can improve your organization's cloud security posture. It's effective regardless of where your users are, which is critical because most users are working from home. It's cloud-based, so nothing is on-premise."
"Its most significant advantage lies in its affordability."
"We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks."
"Advanced hunting is good. I like that. We can drill down to lots of details."
"In Microsoft 365 vendor products, monitoring and connectivity across all Microsoft and third-party connectors enable viewing of all activity within those environments."
"The most valuable feature depends on the scenario. For compliance, I like Microsoft Purview Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention. Sentinel is the most helpful feature for security. 365 Defender helps us prioritize threats across an enterprise. It's a crucial feature for the managed services team."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that Microsoft Defender XDR is easy to integrate with other Microsoft platforms or products."
"Obtaining visibility into the network and connected devices is very simple with this tool. It takes me three minutes to do a base deployment when all the parameters are available."
"Being able to sort on device types or devices with open ports is helpful when narrowing down assets of possible misconfigured devices that may be vulnerable on the network. We can take action on those devices based off of corporate policy."
"Forescout is easy to integrate with a lot of end systems."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"Within three or four days, we have complete visibility of your infrastructure on the network. Compared to other solutions, the deployment of the solution is easier and we can close the project quickly."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform is the large capacity it can handle. Additionally, the interface of the platform is good."
"Emergency response, risk assessment information to get a view of the of the vulnerability."
"It allows for good detection of all the vendor products we have on-site."
"SentinelOne also provides equal protection across Windows, Linux, and macOS. I have all of them and every flavor of them you could possibly imagine. They've done a great job because I still have a lot of legacy infrastructure to support. It can support legacy environments as well as newer environments, including all the latest OS's... There are cost savings not only on licensing but because I don't have to have different people managing different consoles."
"It delivers the type of security which we were hoping for, since we have a lot of different endpoint users utilizing different types of software. We have people who only use Office software, like email, Word, and PDFs. Then, we have people who use some applications that other people wrote. We also write applications in-house using people who develop software. Therefore, we have some machines using very high-end developer software for mechanical development, electronic development, and software development. Those users are used to managing their PC on their own. The centralize platform allows us to differentiate between those three groups of people. We have overall control and can oversee the security levels at all the endpoints. They have not yet been blocked in any way when performing the functions"
"The anti-ransomware capability to analyze the threats and user-friendliness are the most valuable features."
"The initial setup is very straightforward and easy."
"The reporting part is awesome."
"One of the features that convinced us to adopt SentinelOne was that the solution can recognize and respond to attacks with or without a network connection. That is very important."
"The terminating or killing remediation process that they use is top-notch. Pretty much anything that is even remotely malicious gets blocked by it within seconds. That is important for us. We have thousands of endpoints with tens of thousands of users. It is hard to do good security for that many people without some kind of automated detection and response. That is what SentinelOne does for us. It helps us automate that process."
"The most valuable features are forensic investigation and ransomware prevention."
"The management and automation of the cloud apps have room for improvement."
"It would be beneficial to have a more seamless experience with everything consolidated in one place, particularly when dealing with aspects related to the Exchange console."
"Generally, antivirus products provide a central control to manage every device in terms of who is installing it or who is trying to disable it, but Microsoft doesn't have such a control center for the antivirus product it provides."
"When we do investigations, it would be better if Microsoft could populate the host dashboard more. When we open any host for investigation, we want the entire timeline of what is happening on the host, including all the users logging in, their hardware, Windows version, etc."
"Improving scalability, especially for very large tenants, could be beneficial for Microsoft Defender XDR."
"There could be a way to proactively monitor unusual activity ."
"There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups."
"There are still some components, such as vulnerability management within the vendor product, where improved integration would be beneficial."
"Search - needs boolean functionality (or pseudo operand now working)."
"The solution needs more definitive pricing. The costs are hard to nail down."
"Forescout Platform could improve the costs of integrations."
"Forescout Platform could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"Multitenancy should be included in the next version so it could be used as a managed service provider."
"It does not support the TACACS+ protocol."
"The installation is not secure because it takes high admin privileges."
"They should improve features related to IT security. ForeScout should analyze behavior to see if the behavior is malicious behavior and block this device. They should develop the ability to analyze the behavior of the device in my environment."
"In terms of improvement, I would like to see better alerting to let us know if there is anything wrong with SentinelOne working on the endpoint of the computer."
"Native integration with the mobile console is an area that can be improved."
"The training for SentinelOne Singularity should be free. The solution has a lot of features but we do not know how to use them all. The moment someone purchases the solution they should contact them and provide them with a feature session on how to use the features."
"One area of SentinelOne that definitely has room for improvement is the reporting. The canned reports are clunky and we haven't been able to pull a lot of good information directly from them."
"They can improve the administrative interface. They can make it more user-friendly."
"There should be more integration models with different security operations tools or soft tools."
"I don't like switching the way you switch from legacy to XDR."
"In automation, if we could schedule when we run the task and on which systems we want to run the task, it would improve automation."
