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

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

"It's a complete solution package."
"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."
"Definitely, Secureworks Taegis XDR is cost effective for the long run since the product is at a lower cost rather than other brands."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"Both for our clients and for ourselves, ROI was almost 200% more than we expected."
"The simplified Alert Dashboard is straightforward to navigate."
"The initial setup was straightforward, you can do it by yourself, you don't have to find a partner or a FireEye expert."
"I would definitely recommend this product because I have seen many cases where other solutions were not able to catch malware, but FireEye raised a red flag."
"Overall, security operations are approximately 30 to 40 percent more efficient, and we can save time because everything automatically analyzes, resulting in approximately 40 to 50 percent time savings."
"We have seen several positive impacts since implementing Trellix Network Detection and Response, particularly in the areas of threat detection, intelligence, response, and operational efficiency."
"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."
"For our customers, it added a layer of inspection that might be missed by traditional IPS or antivirus products, and that is the capability of catching new malware that might not have been identified or seen in the wild before."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."
"Secureworks Taegis XDR is a good product, but it should include AI technology."
"Customer support for Secureworks Taegis XDR is not that bad; they are reachable but not super efficient."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"The efficiency or the smooth navigation of the website or the application can be improved in Secureworks Taegis XDR."
"Technical support could be improved."
"I believe Trellix Network Detection and Response can be improved by integrating machine learning into its detection response capabilities."
"On a scale of one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best, I would you rate this product an 8. From a security perspective, it's pretty decent. It's just that I have seen it miss some semi loads or triggers when it's integrated with other products."
"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."
"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed. We would like FireEye to be more secure as an organization. FireEye has to be more protective because it is one of the most critical devices that we are using in our environment. They have a concept called SSL decryption, but that is only the packet address. We would like FireEye to also do a lot of decryption inside the packet. Currently, FireEye only does encryption and decryption of the header, but we would like them to do encryption and decryption of the entire packet."
"The analytics could be better. It seems heavily influenced by the McAfee and FireEye integration, and that integration still isn't seamless."
"Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is six out of ten."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"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."
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
"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."
