Cisco XDR Reviews

We have four thousand endpoints, and I have installed XDR on these endpoints. They are integrated with Cisco Firepower Threat Defense. XDR can also integrate with Cisco Meraki solutions. Any issue in a PC will send a message to Meraki, the Firewall, and email security systems, ensuring that a PC will be isolated from the network if necessary.

Cisco XDR offers threat intelligence and links with the Firewall. I can see the Cisco XDR feature in the Firewall with Threat Intelligence. The integration with XDR and Cisco Meraki solutions allows detection of zero-day attacks. XDR connects with Cisco's cloud for updates on zero-day attacks. There is good integration with Splunk, which Cisco acquired, providing comprehensive log management and analysis.

They need to provide better pricing and bundle XDR licenses with products like Meraki solutions or Firepower Threat Defense. Offering some free XDR licenses for testing features, similar to VPN licenses, could have a significant impact on costs.

I have been familiar with Cisco XDR for the last two years.

I haven't thought about the return on investment since I am too busy.

We focus on one vendor, Cisco, which provides us with excellent discounts when we buy multiple products. This integration and discounting are something we cannot get from competitors, leading to reduced security costs.

I rate Cisco XDR as eight out of ten. They need to improve their pricing strategy for a higher rating.

Cisco XDR serves as our centralized threat detection and incident response solution across our environment. When multiple alerts come from different tools, Cisco XDR correlates them and displays our complete attack story.

Alert correlation and visibility across tools are the best features in my experience with Cisco XDR. Threat correlation is definitely my most used feature because it saves time in analysis.

Cisco XDR has helped my team day-to-day by reducing the need to check multiple dashboards and providing everything in one place. Cisco XDR has positively impacted our organization by improving our response time and reducing alert fatigue. I have observed approximately a 40 to 50% reduction in investigation time, which reflects in our response time improvement.

Cisco XDR is a very powerful tool and everything is functioning properly. The initial integration is somewhat complex and could be more flexible.

I have been using Cisco XDR for more than one year.

Cisco XDR is stable.

Cisco XDR scales well with a growing environment.

Customer support for Cisco XDR is very responsive, knowledgeable, and quick.

I did not previously use a different solution before Cisco XDR.

Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Cisco XDR, I find the pricing to be on the higher side. The cost depends on the number of integrations and licenses, so the cost can increase as the environment grows. Overall, it is not inexpensive, but for enterprise-level security, it makes sense.

I have seen a return on investment with Cisco XDR as it helps us reduce the analysis workload. I can observe a 40 to 50% time saving, indicating a very good return on investment.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Cisco XDR. We were not looking at any other products before deciding on Cisco XDR.

My advice for others looking to use Cisco XDR is to understand your integration before implementing the product. I would rate this review as a 10.
