What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

Blumira's automated alerts are incredibly well focused and have helped us stop spear phishing attacks in progress in real time as they happen. Their free tier should be applied to all MSP clients and is a great way to offer 365 protection. The value of this service is a great tool for selling the advanced license. Our experience with Blumira has been fantastic and we have it deployed across all of our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

There have been no downsides for us as of yet. Blumira is adding more integrations regularly. We would like to see them integrate with Huntress EDR soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

Blumira has alerted us to phishing attacks in real time as user's mailboxes apply suspicious rules. To date, every critical incident we have received notifications on have been valid attacks that required intervention. In the first few months of use, Blumira has already thwarted several phishing attacks and has allowed us to remediate and alert our clients and their vendors to the incidents before any damage was done.

Product Description

Blumira's Automated SIEM enables organizations to detect and respond effectively to cybersecurity threats without having a dedicated in-house security operations center or security expertise.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

- Flexibility of an open XDR: Open platform integrates with multiple vendors for hybrid coverage of cloud, endpoint, identity, servers and more

- Automation accelerates security: Deploy in minutes; stop threats immediately with automated response to isolate devices and block malicious traffic

- Satisfy more compliance controls: Get more in one – SIEM w/1 year of data retention, endpoint, automated response & 24/7 SecOps support*

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

Super easy to setup and use. There is good monitoring, it has decent reporting. I do like the ability to link O365, and other cloud platforms as we are a fully SaaS based company. Their customer support is good, and has explained a lot. We access this more than once a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

I think they do not provide enough of the core options in their free or lower tier. what they charge for higher tiers can be pricy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initially it was telling us more around the O365 platform. Examples are when users are logging in outside the country. That is a massivly useful report. The automated reporting is critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

It's very easy to set up. Unlimited storage, so it's OK to send logs from all devices, intelligence/detection is built in and works "right out of the box." There's little to no "under the hood" configuration or maintenance to do. You can add alerts for some detections that are not enabled by default (for example, Windows/AD account lockout). We have found this one to be very useful and informative Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

I haven't found anything so far. I tried a few free tools, and Blumira isn't free... but we struggled to get and keep the free products working, so I'm not bothered at all to pay for it. Seriously, I have no dislikes thus far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want the early and holistic detection that a SIEM can provide. We have antivirus and EDR, but that solution only covers the devices where we can install the agent. Even on those devices (e.g., Windows servers), a SIEM will "notice" other types of threats that an AV/EDR solution just isn't intended to catch. In addition, we can send logs to the Blumira SIEM from firewalls, VMware hosts, Wi-Fi infrastructure, etc. -- which effectively eliminates some otherwise vulnerable attack vectors... or at least will give us alerting/notification capability for threats coming from or through those devices.

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

As soon as, I got it loggin our info it started alerting me to findings. I did not have to setup alerts. The Solutions Architech gave me recommendations and sugestions. The SA also checked my environment with a scan and setup a report I was looking for. Things not being reported are put in to be added. I feel like I have another employee watching security for us. This is great for a small organization. I love the add note and alert support, which opens a ticket for Blumira support. I received an email form support very quickly after opening a ticket. The report builder is very easy, once the SA shold me a few thing, to extract the info I need. Blumira easliy integrated into my environment of MS 365 and Azure. I use it contantly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

We only got 50 agents with our level of protection and later I learned that it is best for all deives to have the agent running on them. I will either have to monitor which devices get the agent or upgrade to more agaents at a cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

Blumira makes us PCI compliant and gives us peice of mind that our environment is being watched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

We've been using Blumira for centralized logging, log analysis, and alerting, and it's really transformed the way we manage security. What makes Blumira stand out is its amazing ability to filter out all the noise that usually gets in the way of manual log reviews. With Blumira, we're not overwhelmed by a bunch of irrelevant alerts. We get quick, useful insights that help us focus on what matters.

One of the best things about Blumira is its playbooks. These playbooks give clear, step-by-step instructions for dealing with different security issues, which makes responding to incidents easier and less stressful. The way Blumira has designed these playbooks shows that they understand the challenges that security teams face. It's like having an expert on hand 24/7, helping us deal with potential threats with confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

So far , so good! There can be some slowness when generating reports from multiple log sources but understandable considering the amount of log data that is being processed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

The customer service is absolutely fantastic. Very skilled and responsive group of folks that are a joy to work with! The system is veryeasy to understand and implement and they do ALL the heavy lifting for you. I can't express this enough. With traditional SIEM's, you have to spend so much time just getting it off the ground and half your waking hours tuning it and being sure to stay on top of emerging threats, new features, abnormal behavior, etc. Why do this when you have Blumira? My small team has found it to be a very affordable and efficient product not only notifying us of things we otherwise wouldn't detect but also teaching us things we didn't know we needed to know! Very responsive and solid system with zero issues in our many months of use. We're excited to see this product continue to mature and look forward to it's continued benefits and ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

The UI could use a little refinement. For example, when you pull up logs you have to horizontally scroll and sometimes quite a bit and there's nothing worse than that when trying to look through larger datasets. The reporting could use some overhaul and, while this platform is catered to those who want a hands off approach, it would still be nice to be able to create our own custom detection rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

While we don't use the automated response, the detection features are keeping us very responsive to abnormal behaviors and threats. In the process, it's strengthening the departments knowledge and skillset. It's really is a win-win! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

With the platform being cloud based it's very easy to quickly deploy. Right away using the free plan you can monitor up to three cloud based systems i.e. Google workspace, M365 and Cisco Umbrellar. These are very easy tp setup with full instructions provided. For paid plans you can also deploy local sensors which collect Syslog and Windows event logs which are then sent to Blumira's cloud based server for analysis.

I am using this platform daily with notifcatoins from Google such as passwords in clear text, unusal logins and firewall configuration changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

The product is US based so many of the alerts only apply for US based customers.

With some alert types you are questioned on if you would like to keep recieving alerts and if you select yes you keep getting them as you would expected BUT it keeps asking if you still wish to receive them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google workspace provides pretty good alerts however some things like passwords kept in clear text and some login patterns are not reported. It's these types of alerts that aren't common but provide weakness in security or alerts about odd behaviour help with the overall security stance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
