| Lead Consultant at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 2.5 | Unit 42 Managed Detection and Response suits our mid-enterprise needs, offering operational expenditure and flexibility without maintenance burdens. However, local data sovereignty and pricing need improvement, along with quicker response times for better solutions. |
Unit 42 is a Managed Detection and Response solution with MDR capabilities. I use it in a managed service context where my organization's security needs are catered to by Palo Alto.
Generally, it is suitable for mid-enterprise and SMB customers like us, who prefer not to invest heavily in our own infrastructure.
Unit 42 MDR provides us with managed detection and response functionalities, eliminating the need for capital expenditure since it is an operational expenditure-based service.
We have the flexibility to switch vendors if needed, so flexibility stands out as a significant feature. There is also no requirement for maintenance on our part, as it is handled by Palo Alto, ensuring the solution is automated and well-managed. This allows my organization to focus on strategic activities without engaging in daily IT operations manually.
I prefer having local data sovereignty. It would be advantageous for Palo Alto to have local data centers across different countries to adhere to this requirement.
I also have a concern regarding pricing, which is perceived as high compared to competitors.
Improvements should focus on response times and reducing the time taken to reach solutions.
I have used Unit 42 for five to six years.
Overall, it is a stable solution with rare cases of issues.
The solution is highly scalable.
Customer support is satisfactory, however, I see room for improvement, especially in terms of response time and the promptness in arriving at solutions. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service as seven.
Neutral
The initial setup is straightforward as it consists of integration rather than installation, and Palo Alto manages everything.
I find the pricing to be expensive, especially when compared with competitors who offer significant discounts. Palo Alto has room to become more competitive in its pricing.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Unit 42 MDR solution overall as a six. However, due to the lack of local instances, I could also rate it lower, around five, from my perspective.
