117 Blumira Automated Detection & Response Reviews
The setup was super easy. Instructions online made it easy to hand internally. Deploy was a snap with pre-built config. It provided a free trial unlike any of the others that we reviewed. They provide plugins to connect to most existing products, including Office365. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have a few older computers that didn't have SSDs in them. Those computers did see a performance hit due to the amount of logging. Setting up and turning off alerts have to be done by support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We found the product very easy to add integrations both for internal use and our client/managed accounts. This includes their 365 monitoring, endpoint agent, and AV/web integrations. The Blumira team is friendly from a support standpoint, and we have also been impressed that their endpoint agent actually seems to be generating meaningful detections (such as recon behaviour or risky software) that has not been highlighted by competitor products.

We've not had a chance to review wider infrastructure integrations due to requiring a software collector, but that is common among similar products. We are trying to move away from on-site appliance/server presence for clients. It would also be nice to see a wider selection of email security system ingestion available.

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.
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.

Some of the downsides of Blumira Automated Detection and Response are:

Blumira is super easy to use and integrate. The rules will auto enable based on the types of integrations you use. I also liked the ability to have custom rules setup by the Blumira team. This is a great solution if youre a small team looking to centralize your monitoring and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My only complaint about blumira is the inability to create your own detection rules. This could be a deal breaker for some, but it never became an issue for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
works faster and makes detection easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At this point there isnt anything to state that is to dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The SIEM solution to alert you of account changes and give you ownership of those issues and resolutions is awesome. Especially for a free product thus far. Definitely a recommendation to get you started in the SIEM environment for 100% cloud environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing to dislike. We are just on the free version thus far, but know the paid version there and how much more robust it is. We will be going to the paid version most likely soon to add more functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the fact that I can get the power of a SIEM with professional filtering and interpretation, but for a monthly fee per user that I can easily work in to my managed services offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some filters that aren't completely configured, but the support team is quick to respond and take suggestions. This is the kind of stuff you have to do in house too, so not really a drawback of this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like its ease of use, the UX is great. I like the options it gives us to detect incidents and that it gives you the option to no longer get certain ones. Good stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hard to say. I do not have any legit issues with the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Blumira's rapid detection and alerting is the feature that I appreciate most. As an onsite support tech, it is very helpful to be alerted when there is a potential issue that I may not have my eyes on. I'm responsible for 3 office branches, a colo and remote users. Blumira is a valuable tool that allows me to monitor all those locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
False positives!! These alerts waste my time and raise my blood pressure..lol! It's even more frustrating when I receive the same false-positive alert multiple times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
