User Testimonials
	Cybereason Defense Platform	Microsoft Forefront (Discontinued Product)
Likelihood to Recommend	Cybereason I'd recommend Cybereason due to it's efficacy, low TCO, low false/positive rate. The product was easy to implement and maintain. One of the major advantages of using Cybereason is that it requires minimal training for level 1 users to use the tool. Incentivized Keith Barros Senior Director, Information Security Read full review	Discontinued Products In large deployments, I have found Microsoft Forefront to be very effective at combating the majority of threats faced by our users. It provides the base platform for catching threats that would otherwise threaten our users and their data. If you have an environment that is under constant malware threat, then a secondary program may be needed as required. Incentivized Emma Ridener Desktop Support Intermediate Read full review
Pros	Cybereason EDR Forensics Mitigation Response Incentivized Jarcy de Azevedo Junior Cyber Security Tech Lead Read full review	Discontinued Products SCEP is a light weight client which is minimally impactful on the user end. Forefront's management console provides excellent monitoring and reporting. Setup and configuration is very easy. Incentivized Emma Ridener Desktop Support Intermediate Read full review
Cons	Cybereason Slow support Bugs on their interface Log extraction Incentivized Jarcy de Azevedo Junior Cyber Security Tech Lead Read full review	Discontinued Products Malware detection is not quite 100%. We have to use a secondary program occasionally. On low ram and weak CPU systems scanning can freeze the machine. The same reporting tools that are on the console version, aren't on the client. Incentivized Emma Ridener Desktop Support Intermediate Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cybereason Cybereason provides superior protection than either Microsoft or CrowdStrike and a better TCO. We receive less false positives than with Microsoft Defender and Cybereason is easier for level 1 users to use. Incentivized Keith Barros Senior Director, Information Security Read full review	Discontinued Products The biggest advantage that MSF and SCEP provide over Norton is: One: Far less client overhead required. Both Norton and McAfee are highly intensive client side when in use. Two: We've had far better luck using the Microsoft system with its detection capabilities, versus the others. Three: It is tied right into the Microsoft updating system, which provides central updating capabilities of av/mal/windows updates.

Return on Investment	Cybereason Helps on threat hunting MalOps is very good When we face a bug, it takes too much time for them to respond Incentivized Jarcy de Azevedo Junior Cyber Security Tech Lead Read full review	Discontinued Products Less turnaround on virus based issues. Helps reduce malware issues over time. Can breed overconfidence in the system, so people don't always try a second tool. Incentivized Emma Ridener Desktop Support Intermediate Read full review
