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.

Provides innovative security features and accurate real-time threat management
From my reseller and partner perspective, the best features in the products are easy deployment, really small size installation, and an update process. It is a Gartner leader, so there is a lot of innovation in it. Regarding real-time monitoring features, it is absolutely accurate and automatically handled in most cases if configured correctly. I am actually able to synthesize machine learning with human experience to manage complex threats in IRs. This is included as part of the back-office strategy that they run through an AI process. I assess the importance of having 24/7 security coverage provided by SentinelOne Vigilance to be highly needed. As a customer, 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 have observed improvements in Incident Response speeds since integrating SentinelOne Vigilance, as there are far more incidents automatically detected and cleared than before.

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 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 feature is the fast alerting and response time."
"The pricing is flexible."
"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."
"The initial setup was very straight forward."
"There are some patent pending detectors within the platform that provides a lot of value."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The best feature of this solution is the third-party management aspect. An external company oversees the tool's management and monitors the data it generates. If the EDR detects suspicious activity, it will react accordingly and take necessary actions, such as blocking a device."
"In our company, we use SentinelOne Vigilance for security purposes. We not only use it to detect viruses but also to monitor any activities on the endpoints so that we can take appropriate measures to mitigate any potential threats."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The SentinelOne Active EDR is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup process was straightforward."
"The most valuable functions are automated pricing and ensuring the console is clean."
 

Cons

"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."
"Dell Secureworks is for higher-end customers and it's not quite as straightforward to implement or to get up and running as some of the other solutions."
"The deployment could definitely be improved."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR's query language and stability need improvement."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see file integrity monitoring."
"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 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."
"It is not easy to remove the customer without the dashboard."
"It's too early to say what needs improvement."
"I suspect that the areas for improvement may not necessarily lie within the tool itself but rather in our organization's lack of knowledge and understanding of cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a complex area, and our organization has a skill set deficit. Therefore, we rely on our cybersecurity support company to help us manage the tool and handle incidents. Our limited expertise sometimes prevents us from fully utilizing them or identifying potential gaps."
"The solution should add endpoint clients for mobile and Linux devices because it currently doesn't support them."
"The tool needs improvement in clear communication and detection."
"SentinelOne Vigilance's integration capabilities with other products can be considered as an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I have found issues with the solution’s stability and implementation. The solution has performance issues. I would like the solution to launch the rollback plan for ransomware on Linux and Mac. It should be something similar to the support that Windows gets."
"The support response time is not the issue, however, sometimes, the answers provided are not fully satisfactory due to the nature of the technology and issue complexity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"The price is kind of on par. The licensing was comparable to other solutions. It's not particularly high or low."
"The Red Cloak agent is free."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
"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 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."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"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."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"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."
"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."
