    MDR Solution Simplifies Threat Detection and Security Configuration for Teams

    5.0
    Jun 27, 2026
    The MDR solution is incredibly easy to configure and deploy, possibly helped in part due to us being previous customers using endpoint protection. The solution is easy to manage and provides live information of what is happening within our environment. It's also easy to spot problems and helps us to continuously develop and improve our security configurations. The solution has alerted us to strange activities on the network, with some false positives and some genuine threats that we wouldn't have found so easily without this product.

Like

The service runs in the background with minimal input from our team. They're constantly watching, something that people in a team of our size cannot do. It helps to provide me with some re-assurance that there are additional safeguards within our system. It is very easy to use and configure. It's easy to scale up and down and is very competitively priced compared to other vendors that we considered.
