The Customer Support advantage alone, makes it worth it!
We used this product for managed security to help prevent and protect against cyber attacks or security breaches.
- Accurate and detailed reporting
- 24/7 Customer Support
- I can’t think of anything that would need improvement
- Excellent incident response time
- Less impact from Security Incidents
Honestly, Mandiant seems to be the best all around. Even with being a smaller business, it’s help tremendously and keeps us feeling safe and protected.

Mandiant Managed Defense - Integration & Protection
We were looking for Managed Detection & Response solution for our customer as there was issues on clarity of threats , which can not be define Bad & Good by even best technology available in market. MDR services can be a cost effective way to access the necessary detection & response skills and resources without having to recruit, train and retain the internal talent.
- Integration & Protection-Mandiant provide highest degree of integration with Endpoints, Networks ,email & Cloud and Identity solutions an organization already using
- Strong Protection- Mandiant has best threat landscape technology which provide holistic view of security & Protection.
- Due to split from FireEye Mandiant no longer can provide its own End Point Protection as part of MDR for customers that want to transition after incident is complete .
- Single remediation response with no-ongoing monitoring
- Mandiant is strong on automated remediation & rollback
- Predictable Pricing Rapid Response is sold as fixed days term license this takes way risk of hourly billing and runway costs
Mandiant MDR includes authorized hands on keyboard response , The defendor experts for Hunting services does not include managed response, only hunting detection and alerting.
Unlike Mandiant ,\Microsoft will not offer detection and response based on third party product data. Nor does Microsoft have the capability to add Network detection & response for analyzing both clear and encrypted network traffic.

MDR - Immediate Impact
Antivirus, while a good tool, doesn't rise to the level of use that EDR/XDR etc does.
Not only do you need to detect that problems exist, you need to kill them at the point-of-attack.
Endpoint detect-respond does this.
MDR also has a pool of 24x7 engineers reviewing telemetry of interest to action or inform against.

- SOAR
- Pool of engineers 24x7
- Cost-effective for what it does
- View on assets under mgmt
- Low-cost integrations with platforms/apps not already present
- Customize what default view is
- RAPID response against threats
- Improved posture
- Major addition to the suite of tooling (SIEM, DLP, AV, monitoring)
MDR is comparable - maybe more pricey than most; Trend XDR was much less & part of a suite of security tools - to those noted.
They offer comparable features & integrate with the major platforms (Azure AD, Salesforce, AWS, etc) and like the others could use a simpler way to onboard others not yet integrated.

Mind-blowing defense with futuristic attacks
The benefits of using the managed defense is the integration of frontline knowledge and all the research done of attackers that help protect customers at speed and scale. We were able to come up with pretty basic ways to work around any kind of issues and enhance our secuiry measures.
- Exposes hidden issues
- Response time is much quicker
- Risk against ransomware is low
- With the help lf experts from the mandiant team support is a click away
- Dashboards are very modern and maybe confusing at first. Placeholder tooltips may help
- Integrations with systems by default can help
- Pricing structure needs to be revised for small industries
- No negative testimonials
- Good amount of work shredded without attacks
- Roi increased in positive notes with quality
In comparison to any of the defense mechanisms i have worked with earlier nothing comes across as a cleaner approach to managing defense systems. With error reports being sent periodically till then time the tool learns from across places of new ways of attacks the tool is only evolving daily. It surely is a market leader and all vendors would be happy to use this tool

Mandiant Managed Defense - Strong, very Strong
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Mandiant Managed Defense is being used for 24/7 coverage for the CSOC. Managed Defense is also used as an escalation point for high-severity incidents.
- Excellent across all major tenant of incident response (detection, containment, eradication, etc.)
- Has a strong backend support system to perform advanced incident response activities (reverse malware engineering, etc.)
- Very scalable - no matter how small or large the incident, Managed Defense can tackle it, or escalate to Mandiant IR if the incident is complex and/or large enough.
- Very little opportunities for improvement. Perhaps support for more alert types. Currently, not all alerts reviewed by the in-house CSOC team are in-scope for Managed Defense.
- 24/7 coverage has been huge - that ROI has allowed the company to refrain from additional internal staffing of CSOC resources.
- There is a significant improvement in time to remediate and recover from incidents.
- Managed Defense has the ability to perform threat hunt exercises and perform enterprise-wide forensics beyond the capabilities of in-house CSOC resources.
I have found Managed Defense to be much stronger than previous managed providers I have used in the past. For example, SecureWorks provided a lot of email alerts that were noisy and very low fidelity. When our CSOC team sees an email come in from Managed Defense, they consider it high fidelity and jump on it immediately. There isn't a lot of noise of fluff with Managed Defense.
