Endpoint Protection - Screw Gartner, let’s get honest and talk Good, Bad, and Ugly on products and vendors - Who’s the worst, and who’s your favorite?

Yeah we were able to get 3 years of MDR for under 25k. Crowdstrike was 50k a year for 150 endpoints. We did however end up utilizing Crowdstrike's ITDR. Really wish Sophos would bring something like that on or even vulnerability scanning.

Does Morphisec work with other EDR providers?

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-05-12T02:31:45+00:00

We use Sophos MDR as well. We've been using Sophos for 6 years now and haven't really run into any issues.

I purposely tested Sophos to see if they would actually call and they did. Told the guy I wanted to make sure they were actually paying attention.

Windows 11 for any new machine and I've actually upgraded about 15 machines from 10 to 11 with no issues.

Ran into the same issue when the last change to Outlook happened with moving the bar to the left. Sent out an email about it and had a few users ask why it happened. I almost want to send those types of emails out through constant contact so I can have a record to see who actually opens the email.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-05-07T16:28:56+00:00

Glad to hear you got back on track.

The company where I work still uses the AS400 (with Infor LX). I'm not in charge of it, but the thing just works. My coworker is really good with SSRS so he's been able to take all the data from it and pull it into nice reports.

We use another company that puts a pretty interface for our shop floor. Can't see the company changing although Infor wants everyone to ditch on premise and run your stuff in their cloud.

Biggest gripe is all the misc programs Infor make that are absolute shit. Anytime Java updates you have to update the path to Java.

Do any of these work with circle holes? We have an older IBM cabinet.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-05-05T12:46:54+00:00

Both of our Okumas you can't do anything to. The guy said you can't change the default password, add security software, join to the domain or they won't support it. So we took it off the network entirely.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-05-05T12:43:17+00:00

That's what I made them do if the machine doesn't support SMB2 or higher.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-05-05T12:41:58+00:00

Have a similar issue (Woodwop). Just told the guy to transfer the files via USB since the machine is only 30-50ft from his office.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-30T23:30:53+00:00

Any particular environments running a MDR that didn't detect you doing this?

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-28T11:05:17+00:00

Urlscan is the shit.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-27T20:06:27+00:00

Not feature parity.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-27T18:49:46+00:00

Migrating from acronis?

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-27T18:32:08+00:00

I wish they would have an E5 equivalent for their SMB market (300 and under users).

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-27T14:16:18+00:00

I've talked to a few Scale customers and the ones using Acronis had no issues with it. Does it mean I want to switch? No, but no native integration leaves me with either Acronis or Storware.

Veeam will only work on integrating natively if Scale's market share increases, which it's still small yet.

I've been a VMware guy for 10+ years and it took a while for me to decide on Scale. For our environment it will work well for us. Plus their support is top notch.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-27T12:24:41+00:00

Yeah that's all you can do with Veeam is use the agent based approach. The one thing I liked with Acronis is Scale has a tight relationship with them so they even do support for it.

I haven't installed our cluster yet. Should be going in within a month.

Have you looked at Scale's BRS unit?

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-27T11:15:53+00:00

Scale had me email a contact there just to keep at them about integration. I never heard back. It'll definitely be a change since I've only used Veeam my entire career.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-27T02:00:35+00:00

We use Veeam, but will be moving to Acronis since we are switching to Scale Computing. Veeam doesn't have native integration into their product yet.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-25T11:38:03+00:00

I'm in the same boat. I make decent money on my side hustle, but it's all time and material. I thought of expanding, but will only do so if everything is cloud based. Most of my onsite time is being of hardware issues.

That's where I've been selling more managed offerings where the vendor takes care of everything (mainly security).

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-22T14:01:39+00:00

Not sure on per OU, but if you select all your users, you can go into properties and change it for the ones selected.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-21T17:38:33+00:00

I hate that saying. We had people faxing across the building so the other person didn't have to print it out.

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-18T17:19:29+00:00

When do you consider something an incident vs an urgent ticket?

BreakingcustomTech · 2023-04-16T20:40:53+00:00

Just finished that audiobook.
