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.

Customers have found quick incident response and proactive security management through effective threat detection
Secureworks Taegis Managed XDR MDR is a great product that has not posed any challenges from my perspective. I am extremely happy with the quick response from the Secureworks team. After the Sophos merger, I look forward to seeing a better and more enhanced version of the product. The team does a phenomenal job with automatic maintenance.

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 features of Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services are the light use of resources, plenty of functionality and scans are quick."
"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 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 solution is great for managing alerts and dealing with them as they arise."
"Securworks' threat intel seems pretty decent, and they integrate with several solutions we have, such as Azure AD, so all our Microsoft 365 stuff is covered."
"Solved a fundamental problem that lets us all sleep well at night!"
"It provides more visibility and more control over endpoints; it reduces the noise, clears things, and only shows things that are really important, so you can focus on investigation, response, and remediation."
"The initial setup was very straight forward."
"Secureworks Taegis Managed XDR MDR is a great product that has not posed any challenges from my perspective."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR's query language and stability need improvement."
"We did a PoC of their next-gen antivirus product, but it wasn't ready yet. It was underdeveloped and caused a lot of issues. We'd like to move away from Carbon Black, but they said that it's probably still not to a point where we'd be happy with it. Carbon Black and RedCloak seem to work fine for us."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see file integrity monitoring."
"In terms of ROI, I'd be surprised if there is any investment return on the SIM."
 

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."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR is very expensive and could be more cost-effective."
"The pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"The Red Cloak agent is free."
"The price is kind of on par. The licensing was comparable to other solutions. It's not particularly high or low."
"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 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."
