What do you like best about ManagedMethods?

Managed Methods has a lot of helpful features when managing a school district. Our most used (and the feature I used the most / subsequently enjoyed) was the G Suite Email filter. We were able to scan through for common breaches of terms and help keep students more safe by looking for bullying and depression related incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManagedMethods?

The only item I could think of in terms of a dislike for Managed Methods is the price. Don't get me wrong, it's fairly reasonable, but when I am on the tight budget of a small school district it becomes difficult to pay for luxuries such as Managed Methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ManagedMethods:

Those looking into Managed Methods: If you are looking for a fantastic all in one solution for cloud filtering and management, this is an excellent company and software suite to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are using Managed Methods to combat cyber bullying, school violence, depression / suicide related incidents, and malware primarily. As a secondary, we also scan for grooming and other violations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManagedMethods?

We don't know what we don't know! With some policy setup we start to learn what we don't know and can act on it. I also like they are very easy to work with on change. Many changes you see come from all of us users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManagedMethods?

I would not say dislikes ... if they were unwilling to change then it would be dislike. I would like to see better and easier reporting on filtering Apps based on Student or Staff OU. I would also like to see filtering based upon install base .. 10 users vs 100 users also against staff and student. I also would like to see subject matter in email more directed to issue found. All of this will come with maturity of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ManagedMethods:

We did look at CloudLock and SysCloud prior to choosing Managed Methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Benefits .. many! It allows us visibility into content that is 100% outside of us with applications and data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManagedMethods?

I like the ease of implementation and the fact that it disables accounts when one of our user accounts is trying to log in outside the US. This lets us know if a user account may have been compromised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManagedMethods?

I dislike some of the email alerts. I personally would like to see a bit more details in the emails as they come through. Managed Methods is working on this with me, so hopefully, that will mean no dislikes for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ManagedMethods:

If you are looking for a CASB solution for Google or Office 365, I would highly recommend Managed Methods. They are great to work with and have been very flexible in adding requested features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have had issues with staff storying PII information online. To make matters worse, a few had even shared that information outside our domain. We were able to use Managed Methods to see these issues as well as correct them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManagedMethods?

I like everything about their product. I prefer it over Cloudlock/Aperture. The thing I like the most is the "discovery" part of the solution. Having this product makes request for information extremely easy. And it generates a great report of it too. Whenever we search for different things in pictures, such as violence, it does a great job at flagging it. There's other things that it constantly finds and alerts. Such as, profanity. There's a lot of prebuilt rules and quarantine policies already, which are great for going live and then refining it. The engineering team from managed methods really know what they are doing. Especially for education environments. They know what is "best practice" for education. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManagedMethods?

Nothing. Everything works great and the reporting feature is great too. I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to say? Could we have it for free? I know "Bark" is free but, it's not a prevention tool like this. I want to quarantine our data that's trying to get exfiltrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ManagedMethods:

Great product. Definitely test out the others but you'll more than likely end up at Managed Methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Discovered files, folders and emails containing policy violating material. One of the added benefits that I "realized" during the POC stage, was when we had a request for information be requested from our department. We were able to easily search every email, message, picture, document for specific strings, any file for what the requester was looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManagedMethods?

We've been utilizing the platform for over a year now and have nothing but positive results. The platform, we were able to get to fit our district with policies and it has given us a sense of relief to know that we have the "extra" controls to our Google users, especially when it comes to our student accounts. We are able to get notifications on suspicious events, policy violations, risks /malware pertaining to emails - very crucial and we do not take lightly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManagedMethods?

There is nothing that we dislike, nada. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Suspicious logins with a map is what we like as well, to show where our users within our domain are logging in. Reports is a benefit for sure, as a handy tool that we use on a monthly basis that we share with our Admin team. We started using Google last September, a directive that came from our Super after school started. Because we were coming from Exchange, we felt that we needed a platform to assist us with managing accounts and we are glad to have found Managed Methods for that. It gives us that extra "sigh of relief". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Managed Method in concert with other monitoring software to manage our school districts cloud environment. Specifically, its ability to have an easily accessible audit trail of a document or items activity in the cloud has been very useful for both bullying and student safety-related issues. Managed Method provides the Who, What, Where and when of cloud activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManagedMethods?

The ability to have an eye in student drives. Policy violations happen all the time without notification. Managed Methods allows me to dive into drives, emails and documents and see details about offending content and emails. Love the ability to remove an email from EVERYONE'S email. I also love that I can see all the apps being associated with logins for my Google domain and deauthorize them if need be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManagedMethods?

I thoroughly enjoy the app and have nothing negative to say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManagedMethods?

Their interface is very intuitive. Some of the other products we reviewed had interfaces that were difficult to follow what was happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManagedMethods?

Since we are relatively new to the product, we have not found anything that we dislike yet. I;m sure we will as we travel further down this road. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ManagedMethods:

Managed Methods gets the K-12 world--from product features to price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our main purpose is to monitor Google and O365. We are concerned about what data is where. These new tools are great for end users but can be a nightmare for data security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManagedMethods?

Managed methods makes it easy to monitor activities of email and documents.. It can detect suspicious logins and blacklisted country logins. It can then suspend an account if it is detected logging in from a blacklisted country. It can also detect keywords that you setup through a custom risks and policy settings tab. Each time a policy is violated it will send you an email detailing the risk. The emails can be adjusted to come in at certain intervals depending on what you want. The support from them is very quick and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManagedMethods?

The policies are not 100 percent fully customizable. You are unable to specify exact emails for certain policies. But overall it is a great product and the small dislikes outweigh the huge benefits of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ManagedMethods:

It is a great product and it works extremely well. It will help you keep track of suspicious logins and allow you to monitor emails and documents in G suite or Microsoft 365. I definitely recommend this product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

You can view emails and documents and track it for keywords. This has helped us find a few instances in which company products weren't being used for the intended purpose. It has also detected a few blacklist country logins that have since been remedied. It makes it easy to monitor for suspicious logins and inappropriate use of company applications.

What do you like best about ManagedMethods?

Unified GUI and interface with useful data upon login. I love how it ties into the services we use via API rather than having to export and set up a GUI. It makes for a more "real-time" experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManagedMethods?

No logging from a security administrator role, must be basically global admin. Headaches with the initial sign-in and cookies (I have to Captcha each time I log in). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Visibility into our Office 365 suite.

DLP reporting when our policies are breached and optimal incidents of data leaving the company.

Helping monitor our Azure AD and external 3rd parties who tie into our IAM solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
