Product Description

Let Blackpoint's managed SOC team monitor your network so you can focus on running your business.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

At the core of Blackpoint’s MDR service is our patented SNAP-Defense – the first contextually aware breach detection and response program on the market. Instead of relying on the integration of numerous, disjointed third-party technologies, Blackpoint was designed from scratch to directly support MDR objectives and workflows. SNAP-Defense automatically collects and correlates meta-data around suspicious events, reducing data and analyst overload.

With monitoring, detection, and response all built-in, Blackpoint’s MDR analysts have unparalleled visibility into hacker tradecraft, lateral spread, and remote privileged activity. Our partners trust Blackpoint for high-performance cybersecurity that can protect against today’s and tomorrow’s threats.

What do you like best about Blackpoint Cyber?

The solution is extremely powerful yet extremely simplistic to deploy. As a pre-sales architect, I appreciate how easy the process is from standing up a trial, deploying it for my customers, then converting these trials to a paid subscription. I have not come across any other vendors that make it this easy!

The post sales support is fantastic as well however it's not likely you will be talking to them much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackpoint Cyber?

I wouldn't say I really "dislike" anything about the product. One of my big "Wish List" items is the ability to monitor Google Workspace. At least in our neck of the woods, Google Workspace is becoming more and more prevalent and it would be nice to have a tool that addresses this attack surface as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackpoint Cyber solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many of our customers face different types of compliance regulations. Blackpoint has helped our customers address some of the compliance requirements at a fraction of the cost of some of the bigger and more complex solutions on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackpoint Cyber?

BlackPoint is amazing. Not only do they have a very robust solution but the support and attention are amazing. The pricing is perfect for us. You can customize what threats they handle for you or what you want to be notified about.

They are a huge help in the audit/proposal phase. We met with our rep and an engineer before a proposal meeting and they went over all of the security issues they were able to identify after an initial scan/review of the prospect environment. We had a robust conversation that helped us understand the risks so we could effectively communicate that to the end client.

They also have marketing materials you can brand including the branded monthly reports. I highly recommend them. They are by far my favorite partner currently to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackpoint Cyber?

Could use more video tutorials for support to show how to deploy the tool, audits, etc. The tools are great but at times I'm not sure how or where to use the information. Written documents are not my first choice when looking for a training tool. I like to see exactly where and how to do the steps. Very visual/hands on. I usually have the most trouble with the O365 component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackpoint Cyber:

Stop looking for a SOC. This is your answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackpoint Cyber solving and how is that benefiting you?

We don't have the resources in-house to do our own SOC/SIEM monitoring. Blackpoint was our answer. They have a 365 add-on component as well. We were able to really boost our offerings after bringing them on board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Larissa Pistan of Blackpoint Cyber

Hi Dominique,

What do you like best about Blackpoint Cyber?

It's easy to deploy and manage. Support is outstanding and quick. The user interface is simple and intuitive. Reporting is good as well. I've found their offering is somewhat unique and better than competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackpoint Cyber?

No product is perfect but I haven't really found anything I dislike about it directly. However, it is another vendor and product to manage separately from others we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackpoint Cyber solving and how is that benefiting you?

Blackpoint is like an additional team member without the cost and effort of adding specialized staff. They are better than just a SOC as they act as part of your team to take action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackpoint Cyber?

The speed that Blackpoint responds to alerts is second to none. Covering the local network and Microsft 365 accounts 24/7 helps me sleep better at night. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackpoint Cyber?

The only downside I can think of is they do not have a Mac OS agent. Hopefully, that will come shortly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackpoint Cyber:

Take them up on their free proof of concept deployment. The reports on your environment speak for themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackpoint Cyber solving and how is that benefiting you?

We solved 24/7/365 monitoring and actioning of security-related events. The benefit is peace of mind for a fixed cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackpoint Cyber?

The interface is simple enough that a presentation to the client is easy, the visual heads-up helps define more than just the security product, it provides an almost tactile experience that the client can use to begin to understand concepts that are becoming increasingly important for non-technical people to have a grasp on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackpoint Cyber?

I would like to see more integrations, which isn't to say I don't enjoy writing out XML plugins, but as of right now the most convenient thing for me to have in my life would be integrated ticket generation and resolution in Kaseya BMS and VSA. I can get this done a bit by using the email parsing module, but even a limited auto-response "feedback loop" between the two systems would generate an awful lot of unnecessary traffic and correspondence that would need to be stored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackpoint Cyber solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm getting response from clients that can now actually SEE how their actions affect their environment, particularly with regard to simple things like SMB shares or IoT device traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Larissa Pistan of Blackpoint Cyber

Hello Benjamin,

Thank you so much for your positive feedback and for taking the time to post this review.

It's our customers that allow us to constantly improve the way we do business. We are planning on adding more integrations throughout 2022 - stay tuned!

What do you like best about Blackpoint Cyber?

The onboarding process is fast, easy and the sales team is responsive. It's very easy to add clients and manage licenses. The reports are also easy to get and nice-looking for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackpoint Cyber?

The SOC is non-responsive to requests for additional information regarding reported incidents. The annual contracts are restrictive and not suitable for the MSP model. Their detection rules are generic across all clients and do not monitor unique per-client needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackpoint Cyber solving and how is that benefiting you?

We stuck with them for a year, reporting problems we went along. There were no changes to the platform, and we have not seen any benefits from using this solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Larissa Pistan of Blackpoint Cyber

Hi Ernest,

Thank you for leaving your review and sharing your comments with us. Our team is pleased that you enjoyed our streamlined onboarding, license management, and reporting processes!

In your review, you touched on Blackpoint’s 24/7 SOC and annual billing model. We regret to hear that your experiences with these two aspects of our offering we not to your satisfaction. Blackpoint Cyber takes all partner feedback very seriously and one of our most important core values is to strive for continuous improvement.

As such, we will have your Partner Success Manager reach out for more details pertaining to your experiences and look forward to working closely with you to understand more and resolve any lingering concerns.

What do you like best about Blackpoint Cyber?

Live monitoring with a real US-based SOC. The support is top-notch and the customer service is fantastic. We leverage the Snap agent and 365 defense product. We haven't found much to compare since most rely on monitoring an AV solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackpoint Cyber?

The cost is one item that could use some work and there should be a way to uninstall/retire agents from the cloud side vs relying on a manually uninstall from the workstation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackpoint Cyber:

They are next level - we highly recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackpoint Cyber solving and how is that benefiting you?

We added a true MDR/IDS to our clients to secure their environments from constant cyber threats. We know our clients are in good hands with a true SOC driven solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackpoint Cyber?

Onboarding with Blackpoint was a great experience. We immediately feel like part of a team of people engaged in protecting our business and customers from threats. They are actively engaged with us to ensure that we are happy and things are working as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackpoint Cyber?

No downsides.. Microsoft 365 monitoring is having some initial hiccups; but I am confident in the team's ability to resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackpoint Cyber:

Don't look any further. You need a partner who will work with you and not simply sell you a product. A SOC is a tool so you still need your own processes and services around it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackpoint Cyber solving and how is that benefiting you?

24/7 security monitoring was not something I wanted to invest in for our business model. We needed to trust in the expertise of Blackpoint Cyber to know what threats are real and what detected threats are noise. The communications we have had with them regarding threats detected were legitimate concerns, and we were able to assess the threat and take quick action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackpoint Cyber?

I love the benefit of not only being notified of an issue but being paired with a Security Operations Center that actually mitigates the issue for you. This is a key benefit of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackpoint Cyber?

There is nothing about the product that I would say that I dislike really. I found the interface a bit clunky initially to get to the other portal where it shows you the devices, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackpoint Cyber solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an MSP we are providing an extra later of security for our clients that is unmatched. The piece of mind this provides allow us to focus on other areas to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackpoint Cyber?

Providing excellent services to my clients tops my list of favorite things, and Blackpoint Cyber shares this philosophy. Support is very responsive, and the MDR is top-notch. It's simple to set up, and even easier to sell. Every client I've onboarded has been overjoyed to add this to their stack, and the sales margin is good. Their co-branded marketing tools let us hit the ground running. Blackpoint's credentials sell themselves, and my clients are happy to have a secure network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackpoint Cyber?

There is very little to dislike! But if I had to choose something I think could be better, the reporting leaves a bit to be desired. It's filled with a lot of extra stuff that increases the time needed to see the actual data. I'd also like to have the option of selecting different report templates that would allow us to get closer to our brand image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackpoint Cyber solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to free up time spent managing security. Beyond that, we've increased our detection and resolution times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
