Improved network protection has secured our servers and monitors web and application traffic
Till now, I have not seen any weak point that needs to be improved in Secureworks Taegis XDR. I think that since the technology is becoming upgraded, it will be good for Sophos to include more features in future updates of this solution. Secureworks Taegis XDR is a good product, but it should include AI technology.
Twinkle Solanki - PeerSpot reviewer
Business development executive at Digitaltrack solution Pvt Ltd
Continuous network insight has improved early threat detection and streamlined investigations
Overall, we have a positive experience with Trellix Network Detection and Response, but like any enterprise security solution, there are areas where it can continue to improve. One area would be user interface and dashboard customization. While the platform provides a lot of valuable information, new users can sometimes face a learning curve when navigating and investigating and creating customized views. More intuitive dashboards would simplify workflows and help analysts access critical information even faster. Another area for improvement is reporting and analytics. The existing reporting capabilities are useful, but more flexibility and customizable reporting options would make it easier to generate executive-level summaries, compliance reports, and operational metrics for different audiences.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Definitely, Secureworks Taegis XDR is cost effective for the long run since the product is at a lower cost rather than other brands."
"Secureworks Taegis XDR has positively impacted our organization by improving detection rates and reducing our time; as I mentioned, it saves us from manually going through all the logs, which is not practical."
"The auto-triage feature of Secureworks Taegis XDR makes my workflow easier and efficient, helping me shorten the time of responding to every alert, make my activities productive, and manage everything that I need to check every alert and detection."
"It's a complete solution package."
"Once we had a chance to do our own due diligence, it was clear that there is really nothing else that compares with the FireEye appliance."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"The POC quickly revealed areas for improvement and potential threats that the traditional defenses had utterly missed."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"FireEye has created an ecosystem of products integrated with their own SIEM, which is cloud-based and integrates with network security, email security, host security and the like."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response offers excellent diversity and support for different capabilities because it is built and composed of different services."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response helps increase response to attacks. One benefit is increased visibility and simplicity in maintaining it. AI analyzes and relates data based on past performance over the last five days."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted our organization by making our security team more confident and responsible, knowing that the network is being watched all the time, allowing us to respond to threats much faster than we used to."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."
"The efficiency or the smooth navigation of the website or the application can be improved in Secureworks Taegis XDR."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"Customer support for Secureworks Taegis XDR is not that bad; they are reachable but not super efficient."
"Secureworks Taegis XDR is a good product, but it should include AI technology."
"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."
"The customer service is not that good."
"If you want to search the hashes in the environment, you need to put in IOCs one by one, making it a very hectic job."
"The pricing is not reasonable. The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response cannot be operated without customer support, especially during the first year and a half of use."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"I have had a positive experience with Trellix Network Detection and Response, but there are areas where it could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is six out of ten."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"There are some additional services that I understand the vendor provides, but our approach was to package all of the features that we were looking to use into the product."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our mean time in being able to identify and detect malicious threats. The company that I work with is a very mature organization, and we have seen the meantime to analysis decrease by at least tenfold."
