How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very simple. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy.
With the next generation platform, the setup was quite straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment takes only one working day. The process has multiple steps. First, the customer needs to configure some prerequisites in their environment, like opening certain ports to allow communication and exclusions to enable Picus agent to function correctly. Then, the second step is to install the Picus agent, and that's it. After that, we can start the testing.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing can be subjective, as it depends on the value the software provides to each customer. However, the pricing is in line with competitors in the market, so maybe around seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.
The price is reasonable for this type of solution.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend starting with a few risk factors and gradually expanding the platform's usage. Begin with evaluating risks from different perspectives, like from the firewall to data loss prevention. Starting small allows for better management of data and a smoother experience.
Considering what I know about other platforms in the market, I'd give Picus Security an eight.
