Mandiant pricing: Third-party buyer data reports an average Mandiant software cost around $83,000/year. Treat this as a Mandiant buyer benchmark, not a clean Managed Defense MDR quote.. ThreatSpike pricing: Published fixed $135/user/month for broader managed IT + security subscription, not MDR-only.. Watch for with Mandiant: ~$83K+/year estimated, premium enterprise pricing; IR retainer is separate and must be purchased independently for full incident response. Watch for with ThreatSpike: ThreatSpike is not a narrow MDR-only SKU. Buyers that only want monitoring on top of an existing IT team may be buying a broader managed IT replacement model.; The platform is proprietary and built in-house. Validate exit process, data export and whether existing EDR/SIEM investments can remain primary..
