Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The solution definitely made us way more aware of the possibilities out there."
"The most valuable feature is the fast alerting and response time."
"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 most valuable features are IDS and IPS."
"The pricing is flexible."
"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."
"It provides more visibility and more control over endpoints. It reduces the noise. It clears things and only shows things that are really important. It only shows those things that need to be looked at or need to be investigated further. Other similar solutions give you a lot of alerts and other things, but Secureworks gives you a defined or less noisy view so that you can work or focus on things that are important in terms of investigation, response, and remediation."
"The product is stable."
"The initial setup process was straightforward."
"The rollback feature offered by the product is good."
"The most valuable functions are automated pricing and ensuring the console is clean."
"I have seen benefits from using it, and I can assure that it is 100% protected against many threats, and it is always in the actual state."
"I would rate SentinelOne's customer service and support a five out of five."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is a very stable solution."
"The solution is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR's query language and stability need improvement."
"It would be nice if the solution were a little more affordable."
"This solution could be improved with a higher degree of automation such as automated emails, triggers and defining the severity of the cases."
"The deployment could definitely be improved."
"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."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see file integrity monitoring."
"Tamper-proofing or tamper protection is still pending in Secureworks. Tamper protection will make it more secure. If I'm an admin of a device, I can uninstall an agent without the knowledge of the security or Secureworks admin. If someone gets hold of one endpoint with admin credentials, he can remove anything, and an organization will lose visibility. They need to work on providing more visibility across endpoints. A couple of times it has happened that the cloak agent is there, but it did not get activated, or there were some issues. The machine was restarted, but the cloak agent didn't run. In such cases, you have to troubleshoot. It is a big issue if a cyber attack is happening, and your machine is rebooted, but the events are not captured."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
"Occasionally during an update, customers may temporarily be without protection until the upgrade is complete."
"The process to replicate exclusions is not user-friendly."
"The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
"It is not easy to remove the customer without the dashboard."
"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't have a direct connection with MSPs."
"Regarding disadvantages of SentinelOne Vigilance, there is no local hub server that I can use to download the updates and signatures only once."
"The solution's memory forensics capabilities and hard disk capacities are quite basic."
"My customers who use the tool mostly want a summary of the monitoring activities of the product in a report form...t can be useful for our customers to identify the threats and incidents encountered by the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price is kind of on par. The licensing was comparable to other solutions. It's not particularly high or low."
"The pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"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."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
"The Red Cloak agent is free."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR is very expensive and could be more cost-effective."
"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
"The tool's pricing is slightly cheaper than other alternatives. It's not just about licensing costs; because we already have it implemented, we can save money on deployment and initial setup. Additionally, SentinelOne Vigilance is slightly cheaper in licensing, maybe around 10-15 percent cheaper."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten since it is really expensive, but it is well worth what my company gets."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
