    IT works very well in the non-profit and small business space when there is a need for remote access or connecting several sites in a point to point VPN, user management and rule creation are very easy. The use of the MyKerio website for remote management also makes it easy to troubleshoot problems and make changes if technical staff are not onsite.

    Usually SOC leverages Intel from mutiple sources. The scenarios are: 1.Suitable: In large scale SOC where more than 5000 devices are being monitored and the tech stack is wide, Mandiant will play an excellent role in that scenario. 2.Not Suitable: In small scale SOCs wherein limited devices belonging to the same tech stack is being used then the analysts can rely on OSINT and it is not useful to buy the solution.

    Mandiant Advantage Threat Intelligence has a very usable platform, with well-differentiated sections for the analyst, as well as the possibility of cross-searching to obtain the desired results. All this is presented with an interface that is easy on the eye and not very messy, which increases productivity and the speed with which work is done.

    Support is very slow to respond and it takes a long time to convince level 1 techs that you need to be moved up to someone more senior. I believe support is outsourced and they are graded on how few tickets they need to escalate to higher tiers so they will try to figure out a solution even if it is detrimental to the overall support experience.

    We found Kerio Control to provide the most features and easiest management of all the solutions we looked at, while cost was not the lowest the value was by far the best when you considered all the factors, costs, and manhours involved in deployment and management.
