"A unified solution to improve IT management and operations – all in one."

4/5

What do you like best about Uptycs?

Uptycs is good for its comparative feature. It can analyze several tools of the same category and assist in making the correct choice at the end. This is particularly helpful for people like me who constantly flip between a few tools when I needed to select the best for cloud security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uptycs?

To facilitate a more rapid decision-making process, I suggest adding more concise and clear recommendations or summaries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Uptycs solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a security professional, it is important to me to have relevant non-compliance points and to decrease the risk of those non-compliance points to the infrastructure. Uptycs is advantageous to me because I can see the compliance status of the cloud infrastructure and I can also enforce it with automated compliance checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Uptycs – an advanced security monitoring tool, albeit expensive."

3/5

What do you like best about Uptycs?

Very good tool for monitoring security, compliant with CIS or PCI DSS standards. I like the ability to create your own SQL queries in network security research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uptycs?

It's a pity that the price is high, I would gladly continue using this tool if it weren't for the high fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent lightweight EDR with full Mac support"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Uptycs?

It's tough to find an EDR with decent support for Macs, there's plenty of options for Windows but if you're in a hybrid environment you're likely to notice the difference between endpoint systems. Uptycs supports Windows/Mac/Unix equally with a full set of detections for each. Implementing Uptycs is a breeze, and the continuous development means you remain on the cutting edge. Systems are easy to use and figure out, tuning is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uptycs?

Communications around bugs is lacking. The backend is constantly under development which means things will change, and not always in a way you may want them to. Removing Uptycs from a Mac remotely is challenging at best, although this is mostly due to Apple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The only cloud provider EDR we can trust"

5/5

What do you like best about Uptycs?

Uptycs is highly customizable and feature rich EDR agent, with the ability to decide what events are arriving from each asset group. It allows you to auto accept alerts to ease onboarding, create custom rules, and provides you tons of information based on on both OSQuery from Uptycs and the community, that can help you gain full visibility into your workloads at every for nearly every security task you'll be given. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uptycs?

I do hope for the product to contain more features for blocking, and to automatically create models for similar workloads, which I know should already be on the roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Uptycs solving and how is that benefiting you?

Uptycs allows running safely within one of the largest cloud environments on the internet, serving hundreds of millions of sites from multiple data centers and with a myriad of technologies. Uptycs is solving our initial problem of not being able to install a security-focused telemetry agent which catches every single event on our hosts. Uptycs ability to allow the customer to configure EBPF collection profiles and select what not to collect is a major game changer for heavily used hosts (40k requests per second). An example would be that we can allowlist a folder that generates a lot of file system events, thus causing the agent to burden the server. With Uptycs we can identify these issues in advance and modify the collection profile seamlessly without affecting production stability. This ability allows us to create meaningful alerts, perform threat hunting, collect information from these hosts regularly for compliance purposes and evaluate vulnerabilities and risks in our environments.

"In-depth endpoint visibility in a lightweight agent"

5/5

What do you like best about Uptycs?

Engaged, highly-capable team, thriving product and roadmap, great visibility and insight for macOS endpoints with highly customizable features in a cloud deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uptycs?

N/A. Uptycs has a lot of feature breadth added in the last few years - this has plugged a lot of gaps in the vision. Hard to think about what there would be to dislike about such an actively developed product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Probably the best choice available for managed osquery"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Uptycs?

- Great for managing osquery on all kinds of assets

- Can forward telemetry to an s3 bucket for SIEM consumption

- Provides some active protection options like dns lookup blocking, or execution prevention (at an additional cost) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uptycs?

- Uses a fork of osquery that has divergence issues now -- docs for osquery aren't 1:1 with the Uptycs version now.

-- Lack of extension support

- Docs are behind a login portal which prevents search engine indexing (or ChatGPT)

- The web portal GUI isn't well thought out and not very intuitive.

-- Lots of wasted empty space

-- Columns are unnecessarily truncated

-- Settings are all over the place

- Support doesn't seem to know their product well -- questions take days to get answered

- Documentation is sparse and often incomplete

-- especially around tables and their "gotchas"

- API lacks documentation and is incomplete

-- You can use it for queries at least Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An incredibly useful and versatile tool"

5/5

We love the insights that Uptycs gives us into our fleet. We currently have it deployed to all laptops and it makes forensics works much faster and more accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uptycs?

There's just so much in their product. It's hard to keep track of what we are not using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"High fidelity across your entire organization."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Uptycs?

Because of the extensibility of OSquery which Uptycs is built on, the near 1:1 parity of capabilities in a diverse tech stack environment makes this one of the preferred tools in your cyber tech stack. Being able to be confident in the data you get from Windows, Linux and OSX puts Uptycs ahead of other EDR options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uptycs?

The barrier to entry to query data is much higher than other tools on the market. In order to get full value you have to be able to write SQL queries vs a human readable question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Actionable runtime threat and vulnerability insights and threat hunting capability"

5/5

What do you like best about Uptycs?

The structured threat intelligence layered on top of system query interfaces (osquery, kubequery, and cloudquery). I also like the vulnerability detection on workstation operating systems and software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uptycs?

For the osquery based solution, it would be great to be able to readily control the permissions the agent has on the endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Uptycs OS Query"

4/5

What do you like best about Uptycs?

The Detections are in detail with Process tree and Associated files are written in detail with their Hashes and the account used to execute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uptycs?

The Dashboard.

A common search bar would make it easy for analysts to search for Hostnames/IP addresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
