Plenty of functionality, scans are quick, and light on resources
Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services can improve browsing security. When I'm browsing some sites, they don't allow the solution to open which would keep it secure. There's an issue with the secure mode, which they put on browsers, such as IE, Edge, or Firefox. In an upcoming release, Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services should add Siddhartha: multi-factor authentication. We then will not need to use the feature from somewhere else, such as Okta. Additionally, there is room for the solution to mature because of how threats are evolving, such as DDoS attacks, they need to learn how to cope.

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

"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services are the light use of resources, plenty of functionality and scans are quick."
"The most valuable feature is the fast alerting and response time."
"The pricing is flexible."
"The solution definitely made us way more aware of the possibilities out there."
"The knowledge base is up to date and easy to use."
"The initial setup was very straight forward."
"Solved a fundamental problem that lets us all sleep well at night!"
"We can easily isolate affected machines in the network."
"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."
 

Cons

"Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services can improve browsing security. When I'm browsing some sites, they don't allow the solution to open which would keep it secure. There's an issue with the secure mode, which they put on browsers, such as IE, Edge, or Firefox."
"The integration with the Carbon Black sensor could be better. ManagedXDR doesn't seem to know how to extract the forensic data from an endpoint that was quarantined by Carbon Black."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see file integrity monitoring."
"In terms of ROI, I'd be surprised if there is any investment return on the SIM."
"GUI for resolving tickets is terrible. Non-intuitive, offering a dizzying array of options, often none of which made sense even for common problems."
"It would be nice if the solution were a little more affordable."
"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."
"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."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services is good. If you buy a subscription it can extend to some of your other devices."
"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 pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
"The price is kind of on par. The licensing was comparable to other solutions. It's not particularly high or low."
"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."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR is very expensive and could be more cost-effective."
"The Red Cloak agent is free."
