Security monitoring tools with severe detection delays
Some security monitoring tools suffer from detection delays of up to two hours, rendering them impractical for fast-paced environments. Additionally, vague vendor transparency regarding what data or 'meta-metadata' is stored creates serious trust issues for clients managing multiple platforms.

“Man, a 2-hour detection delay kinda makes Huntress fairly useless for this. What’s everyone’s go-to if your client mix includes both Google Workspace and M365?”source ↗
“During the call i was probing to see what they are storing since i find it weird they motivate as many ORGS as possible, with the free side but also in the trail usage.”source ↗
“They mention they don't store metadata, but when probing they did say 'not metadata' but meta-metadata so a derivative of metadata, and then followed a pitch for their new product to ask for average ORG setups.”source ↗
