Plenty of functionality, scans are quick, and light on resources
Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services can improve browsing security. When I'm browsing some sites, they don't allow the solution to open which would keep it secure. There's an issue with the secure mode, which they put on browsers, such as IE, Edge, or Firefox. In an upcoming release, Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services should add Siddhartha: multi-factor authentication. We then will not need to use the feature from somewhere else, such as Okta. Additionally, there is room for the solution to mature because of how threats are evolving, such as DDoS attacks, they need to learn how to cope.

Has a user-friendly setup process, but its query language needs improvement
The product has valuable features for the EDR section. We can easily isolate affected machines in the network. It helps us prevent the spreading of malware or ransomware further Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR's query language and stability need improvement. Additionally, its price could be better…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services are the light use of resources, plenty of functionality and scans are quick."
"The most valuable feature is the fast alerting and response time."
"There are some patent pending detectors within the platform that provides a lot of value."
"This solution gathers the information logs from all devices and correlates all the information. It notifies us of any critical events taking place across our networks which has been valuable."
"The most valuable features are IDS and IPS."
"We don't have a full SOC, so it's helpful to have them sifting through our alerts and only bringing actionable items to us."
"Secureworks Taegis Managed XDR MDR is a great product that has not posed any challenges from my perspective."
"The most valuable feature is the support. The support chat. It's always connecting to people. And you open the chat, and it's not about that automated response. It's actually a human being that responds to you."
"The initial setup was very straight forward."
 

Cons

"Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services can improve browsing security. When I'm browsing some sites, they don't allow the solution to open which would keep it secure. There's an issue with the secure mode, which they put on browsers, such as IE, Edge, or Firefox."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see file integrity monitoring."
"The deployment could definitely be improved."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR's query language and stability need improvement."
"The integration would look better with other products, with other EDRs, with other firewalls, with other older versions of firewalls, and the versions of software and hardware."
"The integration with the Carbon Black sensor could be better. ManagedXDR doesn't seem to know how to extract the forensic data from an endpoint that was quarantined by Carbon Black."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
"In terms of ROI, I'd be surprised if there is any investment return on the SIM."
"This solution could be improved with a higher degree of automation such as automated emails, triggers and defining the severity of the cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services is good. If you buy a subscription it can extend to some of your other devices."
"The price is kind of on par. The licensing was comparable to other solutions. It's not particularly high or low."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR is very expensive and could be more cost-effective."
"Initially, the cost was going to be something around $160 or $170. And eventually, I think they brought it down to $110 and they also threw in some endpoint protection platforms."
"The pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
"The Red Cloak agent is free."
"The pricing for this solution is reasonable. One agent costs approximately 270 dirhams/70 USD for one year. There is a reduction in cost per licence as the number of licences used increases."
