What do you like best about eSentire?

The technology employed in eSentire's products is best in class. The time to detection is measured in minutes/seconds, not days, weeks or months. This is critical to any company's security posture to prevent a breach and/or data loss. Customer service has been excellent and slthough response time has slowed somewhat (see "dislikes" below), it's still way above industry average. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSentire?

The only two criticisms I have are that customer service response time has slowed somewhat as eSentire's customer base has increased. We have been assured that this is temporary as the company has increased their security analyst hiring. The second issue is around the marketing of their product lines. This shortcoming has been addressed with the hiring of their CMO (Erin McLean). She has improved the messaging of the firm's products and has clarified eSentire's message around product offerings. She has also increased eSentire's visibility to the world through LinkedIn messaging/posts and events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSentire solving and how is that benefiting you?

eSentire is the cornerstone of our security posture and while no solution is perfect, we have never experienced a breach and we feel that we have full visibility into our network and our ingress/egress network traffic with esNETWORK. Through esRECON, we are alerted to vulnerabilities on a monthly basis and esINSIDER helps us identify any threats within the network. The benefits are a secure network with no data loss.

What do you like best about eSentire?

eSentire has helped us in many situations. They have alerted us of the most simple of threats, and also of bad actors on our network. Before we even have to triage the situation they block the device(s) and keep our environment safe from lateral movement from the bad actors being on the device(s) that were infected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSentire?

Honestly I haven't found one thing that I don't like about eSentire or their product line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSentire solving and how is that benefiting you?

eSentire is our Security Operations Center (SOC) and they solve so many different things for us. They take care of monitoring our network and detecting threats which is a HUGE WIN for us. We wouldn't be capable of handling the amount of threats that hit our medium sized company without them. Great company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eSentire?

The platform is user-friendly. In addition, it offers protection against cybercriminals through its alerts and anomalies. Now that I have been an admin of eSentire for a few years, I couldn't be happier with the service. The team is always on time when noticing anomalies, always reaching out and following the escalation procedure, and always providing thorough analysis of the alerts, which makes it easier for us to investigate internally. The platform itself is very easy to integrate, implement, and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSentire?

As of now, I have not found any services within the platform that require attention. I find it to be an accurate detection and response tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSentire solving and how is that benefiting you?

eSentire is helping us manage and detect security anomalies within our environment. eSentire is able to constantly monitor and make us aware of anything that requires our attention, at any given time. I love this service since it monitors alerts for me, as well as provides alerts on anything that requires further investigation. Lastly, eSentire offers training (which are easy to attent remotely), and overall awareness of the cyber threats applicable to our industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eSentire?

After an exhaustive RFP process eSentire rose to the top due to their deep bench of people that were experts in different aspects of cybersecurity. They always bring the right expert to the table to discuss our needs, then they help us meet those needs. The alerts we receive are meaningful, detailed, and accompanied by recommended actions. Quarterly review meetings keep us connected and constantly moving in the same direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSentire?

Understanding the breadth of services they offer and prerequisites to using each services takes months to fully digest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSentire solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cities have a difficult time affording and retaining cybersecurity experts on staff that cover 24 hours everyday. eSentire allows us to have 24x7 coverage w/ trained experts - and we don't have to locate, hire, and retain then individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eSentire?

eSentire is very helpful for automating and helping with managing alerts, especially escalating the ones that stand out and potentially pose a threat to our environment. The time is takes for a response and resolution is the best and something we praise about eSentire. Customer service is on point, always helpful when explaining new situations to the client in a well-mannered way. The portal is super helpful, very easy for a new user to adapt and get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSentire?

I have not found anything I disliked about eSentire. One thing that could help is having faster scans on an endpoint without having to call and escalate the case. Other than that, eSentire is great and the process to call and contact someone is execellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSentire solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are solving the need for manual investigation for the hundreds of reviews we get daily, and filtering out the expected activities. It is benefitting me by allowing me to spend more of my time on other tasks, reducing redundancy in alerts. The team explains the critical alerts in details, not leaving me confused.

What do you like best about eSentire?

I appreciate eSentire’s proactive, around-the-clock threat monitoring and swift response to incidents. Their SOC team feels like a true extension of our internal security staff, always ready to address issues with deep expertise and a calm, solution-oriented approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSentire?

While I don’t have many complaints, some of the advanced configuration options do require a bit of a learning curve, and pricing can be on the higher side compared to basic security solutions. However, given the excellent customer support and the robust protection provided, these factors are easily outweighed by the overall value and peace of mind that eSentire delivers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSentire solving and how is that benefiting you?

eSentire’s SOC and MDR solution addresses our critical need for round-the-clock threat monitoring and rapid response to potential security incidents. By proactively identifying suspicious activity, investigating threats in real time, and executing swift containment measures, eSentire significantly reduces our risk exposure and minimizes disruptions to operations.

What do you like best about eSentire?

As a customer of 10 years, watching eSentire grow and maintain the same level of service is beyond impressive. They are the best at what they do and they also understand the importance of educating their customers on emerging cybersecurity threats and topics of concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSentire?

eSentire has grown so fast that staying up to date on new product and service offerings has been a challenge. I'm used to vendors harassing and upselling me constantly which is not what they do so it's on me to be a little more proactive in seeing what's new with them.

What problems is eSentire solving and how is that benefiting you?

Alerting us to any valid cyber threat and then taking action when required. Eliminating the noise from our alerts down to a handful of meaningful items for our limited team to look into. This allows my team to service the business more effectively while knowing that we aren't missing a threat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eSentire?

We've been using eSentire for over 5 years. Our experience with them has been great from the very beginning. Implementation is very easy and they are with you every step of the way. They have excellent customer support. Our dedicated customer success manager is always available to help, quick to respond, and loops in other experts when needed to provide expert security guidance. They go above and beyond to make sure we are well-supported, no matter the complexity of the issue. Their threat intelligence briefings and papers are also very helpful. They proactively warn us of current and emerging cyber threats and perform proactive threat hunts which helps us stay a step ahead of potential risks.

Overall, eSentire has proven to be a reliable security partner. The ability to send in multiple signals (endpoing, log, network, vulnerability, identity, etc.) truly set them apart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSentire?

No security product or service provider is perfect. When they miscategorize or miss a security event, they learn from it and improve the overall process. As they have grown, we did notice a slight decrease in the quality of their alerts, but they have taken customers feedback and improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSentire solving and how is that benefiting you?

Staffing security experts is not easy. eSentire provides subject matter experts and seasoned analysts to help us monitor our environment 24x7x365. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
