“Automation and Human Intervention Balanced in Ontinue’s Security Event Response Service”

5.0
Dec 13, 2025
Excellent. While the service is underpinned my Microsoft capabilities, Ontinue has leveraged Microsoft platforms and built features and services that go way beyond the Microsoft offering. The goal of the service in my view is to ensure that the client is not overloaded with security event signals that do not require human intervention. They have automated and optimized response to signals and alerts to provide maximum protection, while ensuring that human intervention is prioritized for events of high sensitivity or that require elevated permissions. Additionally, Ontinue has designed an elaborate onboarding process that delivers client expectations and makes an otherwise complicated process quite simple. Clients must be engaged as a significant part of the onboarding requires in-depth description of the environment and of the roles and responsibilities. The Ontinue MXDR service is one the most useful services contracts.

CRITICAL

“Satisfactory Support and Portal, Yet Slow on Crucial Incidents”

3.0
Jun 4, 2025
I was not involved in the purchasing decision or onboarding process so I cannot speak to that. Ontinue have good communication when reaching out to them and with the monthly review calls. I also like that they they can provide support with configuring a secure environment. However, the main MDR function of the service could be better. Often they are slow to respond to new incidents, including high severity ones, and sometimes miss out elements that should have been part of the response.

Ontinue ION MXDR Likes & Dislikes

Like

1. Service utility. The Ontinue MXDR service is a truly useful service. 2. Ease of interaction. All events are delivered to a Teams channel in a succinct, easy-to-read manner with all the relevant information in the chat-like message. 3. Escalation and ownership view. It's easy to see who owns the next action and what is expected. 4. Automation. Ontinue has perfected the art of automating low and medium risk incidents, which form up to 85% of incidents.

Like

I like the portal to view information about incidents/alerts in. I also like that they can provide support with securing the wider environment. Communication is easy and fast both through Teams and weekly calls.

Like

In this order: 1) ease of adoption, 2) technological fit within our Microsoft environment, and 3) the 24x7 service with consistent low response times.

Dislike

1. Cost. The service is certainly worth more than its dollar or euro cost. As a humanitarian organization, it's a real squeeze to justify it. 2. Coverage for systems that are not covered by the Microsoft SEIM is limited. 3. I have no 3rd issue to report :-)

Dislike

Slow to respond, can miss out key response elements when responding to incidents.

Dislike

Kick-off and technical integration materials could be improved. Specially around rollback procedures in case the service becomes discontinued at some point.
