VP International Business and Alliances at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
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.

Presales Manager at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Effective integration and threat hunting capabilities boost operational ease, but interface improvements are needed
I would like to improve the dashboard in SentinelOne Singularity MDR, as it could be much better, along with the reporting structure. The granularity of policies and ease of policy management from the console could be made better, while my experience from a feature standpoint has been good overall. Regarding summary reports provided from SentinelOne Singularity MDR, I find the reporting structure could be much better in terms of granularity. Additionally, for C-suite executives, there can be more non-technical content that provides a bird's eye view of organizational risk posture, rather than just detailed technical analyses. This high-level perspective on the organization's risk would be highly beneficial at the management level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 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."
"Solved a fundamental problem that lets us all sleep well at night!"
"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."
"Secureworks Taegis Managed XDR MDR is a great product that has not posed any challenges from my perspective."
"Stable solution for protecting, deploying, and managing endpoints, and comes with valuable features such as behavioral analytics and machine learning."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance, which is very important for us in our company."
"The SentinelOne Active EDR is the most valuable feature."
"Using SentinelOne Vigilance has contributed to my team's focus on strategic initiatives."
"SentinelOne is a comprehensive solution for protecting SOAP-based web services and AWS-based cloud infrastructure."
"The endpoint security software is great."
"The initial setup process was straightforward, and deployment can take approximately half a day, depending on the company's size."
"The most valuable feature is protection against ransomware and malware."
 

Cons

"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 deployment could definitely be improved."
"This solution could be improved with a higher degree of automation such as automated emails, triggers and defining the severity of the cases."
"It would be nice if the solution were a little more affordable."
"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."
"I would rate the scalability at 50%. We have been having a problem as we are shifting from a previous appliance to a virtual machine."
"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 only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
"Occasionally during an update, customers may temporarily be without protection until the upgrade is complete."
"The toughest challenge that customers find is with the deployment and tuning of the product; getting it tuned properly takes some time, so that's a challenge."
"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."
"When upgrades are required on the server, you need to almost remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely off the system."
"The solution should add endpoint clients for mobile and Linux devices because it currently doesn't support them."
"The solution could be improved by including a tool for removing the product when changing a device because now it is not easy to remove the customer without the dashboard."
"When upgrades are required on the server, you need to almost remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely off the system. We put SentinelOne Vigilance on silence for the monitor mode, but we were having trouble upgrading the server. I had to remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely from the server, but that meant that all the previous logs of attacks I wanted to look at on the server were gone. This is one thing they need to improve, they need better compatibility with the Microsoft Windows service. I should not have to remove the agent completely to upgrade the service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
"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 rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
"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."
"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
