    ThreatCure Guardian Care services enable us to block C&C connections from some of our infrastructure systems. They told us that they had seen lateral movements in the early stages, which may indicate a ransom attack. They later provided us with a comprehensive report detailing the threat actors who were utilizing an insider threat in this.

    Cons
    Plixer International
    • The free version has some limitations that make an accurate evaluation difficult, every day at midnight the data is flushed and you start over.
    • If you are purchasing the appliance, you won't have admin access to it.
    • Reporting could use some polished graphics and advance filtering features.

    Support is support, they are either there or they are not. Scrutinizer support has been there every time I've needed them. They rely a bit too much on email correspondence, sometimes I want a voice to tell me what to do, and fast

    Scrutinizer is a faster and simpler deployment while still delivering the tools and reports needed to gain accurate view traffic and network usage. Its cheaper than most alternatives and daily use is focused on understanding data, not making config changes so you can understand data. Risk reduction and elimination is the primary focus, Scrutinizer helps you do that.

    While some items offer perfect sight, others fall short in other respects. The ThreatCure ShieldOps platform provides our management and incident response team with a 360-degree perspective. This facilitates quicker decision-making for the future. Furthermore, ThreatCure has an opex model, but other suppliers require significant Capex investments, which is an added advantage of SMB organization like us.
