    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.

    It is valuable software for when it comes to a large or medium organization, since it helps to protect the endpoints, but as the number of servers increases its value increases. However, it is important to keep in mind that when it comes to low end devices, its protection can affect their performance. This is because it is not a software with a very light agent.

    • The incident management piece is the heart and soul of the product. A single area where all data in relation to network and email protection is available.
    • Works well in conjunction with the standard Symantec Endpoint product.
    • URL Protection is advanced and very helpful
    • Technical support is great and definitely the best I have ever seen for a "anti-virus" type product.

    Cons
    Google
    • Paywalls exist throughout the data set and can halt an investigation without the right model
    • Some data was incomplete or broken up between pay tiers
    • Navigation through the data lacked a definitive trail or breadcrumbs to retrace steps during investigations

    • I don't like that I have to maintain the client and keep it up to date. Updating the client is not a very easy process.
    • Deploying the client could be easier. They have a deployment tool, but it doesn't really get to all PCs, which means I still have to manually deploy it.
    • Because the product has so much customization, it can also be very difficult to set up and understand.

    Symantec Advanced Threat Protection has done a sufficient job at identifying true positives. However, the UI could be improved and the amount of false positives is a little too frequent for my liking

    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.

    Frankly, the other products were too expensive to make the change from Symantec so we continued with the tried and true protection. We don't have the funding to move to a more expensive product and the manpower that it would take to implement a new solution.

    • Some digital assets were lost due to failures to detect various threats.
    • We had to use other products in combination in order to trust that all threats were actually detected, taking extra time. We couldn't use just SATP.
    • Ability to quickly manage/deploy via AD made maintenance of the application itself quick and easy.
