CRITICAL

“Great IPS, slow SOC”

3.0
Oct 6, 2023
Our overall experience has been alright to say the least. Their network sensors have been absolutely wonderful and are a cornerstone of our security stack. However, their SOC performance has been less than stellar, with many tickets and requests taking many hours - if not days - to receive attention and follow-up with us. This could be potentially catastrophic in the event are a massive security emergency.

eSentire Managed Detection and Response Services Likes & Dislikes

Like

One of the aspects we appreciate most about eSentire's service is the exceptionally low false positive rate. Alerts are highly accurate, which means our team only receives notifications when there is a genuine security event requiring our attention. This precision allows us to focus our resources on real threats without being distracted by unnecessary alerts, improving both efficiency and response time. The reliability of the alerts gives us confidence in the monitoring system and ensures that critical incidents are addressed promptly, which is invaluable in maintaining a strong cyber security posture.

Like

The network sensors, sumo logic SIEM, and their business review meetings are wonderful. The portal for their service is quite interesting and very intuitive.

Like

For me, the 24x7 ESOC monitoring service is hands down the most valuable. I like how I can be contacted at anytime during the night or day once any suspicious lateral movement is detected in our environment.

Dislike

Honestly, there is very little to dislike about eSentire's service. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and we have built a strong, collaborative working relationship with their team over the years. They have consistently been there for us during critical security incidents, providing expert guidance and support whenever needed. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and deep expertise make them an exceptional partner, and we truly value the trust and reliability they bring to our cybersecurity operations.

Dislike

Lack of communication from the SOC, arbitrary flagging and labeling of various malwares discovered via their integration with our endpoint protection as false positive or other mis-labeling, painfully slow turn-around time for tickets and requests.

Dislike

There is nothing really to dislike, as that is a strong word, however the area of improvement I can recommend is where they can introduce Managed Vulnerability Detection and Response services which is different from Managing threats detected. They can package this on top of an MDR service where the tools that are on hand can detect missing patches or find the most vulnerable assets in our environment, and ESentire can have a dedicated team similar to their ESOC who can attend to those vulnerabilities and patch or mitigate them for us.

    Small IT teams like ours have benefited a lot from constant cybersecurity threat monitoring and faster response

    5.0
    Jan 29, 2026
    Pretty much everything we have done to implement ESentire's MDR service in our environment has gone well. Since we are a small IT Team, their 24x7 ESOC monitoring capability has taken a huge load off of us in terms of attending to active cybersecurity threats detected in the environment, which sometimes flew under the radar when we did not have such a solution in place. For a small IT team like ours, I'd say this is a very handy service to have and IT Leaders like myself can sleep better at night :)

    eSentire provides exceptional services, capabilities and support. They enable our mid-size organization to maintain a very robust security posture without requiring an internal 24x7x365 SOC function. eSentire is constantly rolling out new features, capabilities and coverage as the technology and threat landscape evolves. I would highly recommend them to other organizations.
