Centralized security monitoring has improved visibility and streamlines incident investigations
The best features are the increased visibility that Armor Anywhere provides. I personally find the most valuable features to be a centralized dashboard and the alerting system that provides a consolidated view of security events. We also have visibility across the platform in different environments, which makes investigations more efficient and helps reduce manual efforts. Armor Anywhere has a positive impact by providing the security visibility required to investigate potential security incidents. We have also reduced the manual effort significantly. We have seen significant improvements primarily in operational efficiency and incident response. Centralized monitoring and alert correlation has reduced the time required to investigate. While I do not have the exact metrics, we have seen noticeable savings during investigations and improved coordination between security and the operational teams. From a governance and security perspective, I have found Armor Anywhere to be strong because it provides centralized visibility and control access to security information. These capabilities help support security operations and improve the oversight across environments. Regarding Armor Anywhere's AI capabilities, I have found the output to be accurate and reliable. The alerts and security insights align with what we observe during investigations, which helps build confidence in the platform. While security solution findings still require validation and review by the security team, the platform does a good job in identifying relevant alerts, reducing noise, and the consistency in alerts visibility provides help for us.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, Armor Anywhere has helped us improve our overall security posture; it provides a solid, reliable cloud security solution which works across our hybrid environments and on-premises as well, providing a good balance of compliance and monitoring while simplifying our security across environments and giving us great visibility on all things."
"We have seen significant improvements primarily in operational efficiency and incident response, as centralized monitoring and alert correlation has reduced the time required to investigate and delivered noticeable savings during investigations along with improved coordination between security and operational teams."
"There are some patent pending detectors within the platform that provides a lot of value."
"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 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 knowledge base is up to date and easy to use."
"The advantage of using this solution is that the setup is done quickly and can be done in-house."
"The solution is great for managing alerts and dealing with them as they arise."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is not much to dislike about Armor Anywhere, but the dashboard could be more customizable for different team roles."
"Complex environments require greater customization with dashboards and reporting so different teams can tailor the views to specific needs."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
"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."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR's query language and stability need improvement."
"We did a PoC of their next-gen antivirus product, but it wasn't ready yet. It was underdeveloped and caused a lot of issues. We'd like to move away from Carbon Black, but they said that it's probably still not to a point where we'd be happy with it. Carbon Black and RedCloak seem to work fine for us."
"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."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see file integrity monitoring."
"Tamper-proofing or tamper protection is still pending in Secureworks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
"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 Red Cloak agent is free."
"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."
"The price is kind of on par. The licensing was comparable to other solutions. It's not particularly high or low."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR is very expensive and could be more cost-effective."
