Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Behavior analytics has improved insider threat detection and reduces false positives for our team
The best features LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] offers are its behavioral balancing, baselining, risk scoring, and correlation with SIEM events, and what stands out most is risk scoring, which gives clear visibility into which user behaviors are genuinely risky and helps our team to focus on the highest priority threats without drowning in noise. Risk scoring helps us to quickly identify which users' activity needs immediate attention by clearly ranking threats based on impact and likelihood; it changes our day-to-day operations by reducing time spent on low-risk alerts and allowing the team to prioritize investigations and response actions more effectively and consistently. LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence. I observed a noticeable reduction in false positive alert volume, which shortened the investigation time per incident, improving the mean time to detect and respond, and helping identify high-risk user activities earlier, which prevented potential security incidents from escalating.

Centralized monitoring has strengthened threat hunting and improved ransomware protection
Threat hunting and SOC augmentation represent the most special features about Secureworks Taegis XDR, where some of the best people in cybersecurity proactively search, provide reports, and deliver indicators of compromise for any activity in your network. This monitoring and reporting can be conducted weekly or monthly. Centralized security monitoring and reporting is one of the most valuable aspects, as security fundamentally revolves around compliance. Having a centralized security monitoring platform that detects endpoints, networks, and cloud environments, including servers and switches, is essential. Secureworks Taegis XDR's architecture involves a collector device that collects all your data, even from small laptops, and allows you to monitor everything in one platform. This centralized system provides compliance and security visibility, ensuring evidence and visibility for your security and any compliance requirements you have. Analytics with Secureworks Taegis XDR give you a full preview of everything on your device. It takes all the inputs and outputs of your infrastructure; for example, if it is a firewall, it scans all of the traffic. While it is not a SIEM, it is an open XDR, which excels at conducting analytics. This represents one of its best features because Secureworks has implemented a machine learning model that can detect and analyze everything independently, providing AI-driven features. Integration with third-party tools is quite seamless. Secureworks Taegis XDR can integrate with virtually anything. One of the best features of this product is its integration capabilities with multiple sources of EDRs and any operating system, whether protecting Linux or Windows servers. It boasts very good integration, and if a specific integration is not available, you can raise a ticket to Secureworks, and they will work on your integration, whatever it is, even if it is custom-built software. Secureworks Taegis XDR absolutely aids in efficiency. SOC augmentation extends an organization's existing SOC, which helps reduce alert fatigue significantly. It provides additional threat intelligence and expert investigation, making it very useful for organizations that have a security team but lack twenty-four seven coverage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."
"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"I definitely think that it's good at finding things automatically, versus trying to define it."
"LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"The capability of pinpointing specific cyber incidents is a valuable feature for us."
"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 price for Secureworks Taegis XDR is very competitive."
"Threat hunting and SOC augmentation represent the most special features about Secureworks Taegis XDR, where some of the best people in cybersecurity proactively search, provide reports, and deliver indicators of compromise for any activity in your network."
"Using Secureworks Taegis XDR has positively impacted our organization overall."
"Sophos is a good XDR, and I recommend it for large companies since they have approximately 2,000 or 3,000 devices and can implement it as it is the best XDR."
"Definitely, Secureworks Taegis XDR is cost effective for the long run since the product is at a lower cost rather than other brands."
"It's a complete solution package."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"There are some false positives."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] could be improved with more flexible tuning options and clearer model transparency to better understand why certain behaviors are flagged; enhanced integrations with additional data sources and more intuitive dashboards would also help improve usability and investigation efficiency."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"The solution is very expensive. There are also costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"We're now exploring the cloud version but unfortunately we've found that they are lagging in that space."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"I do not see any other problems with Secureworks Taegis XDR besides pricing."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"To improve Secureworks Taegis XDR, we need to enhance the support part."
"Secureworks Taegis XDR is a good product, but it should include AI technology."
"The efficiency or the smooth navigation of the website or the application can be improved in Secureworks Taegis XDR."
"One negative aspect I always hear from customers is about the cost."
"Hardware compatibility could be an area for improvement."
"The pricing could be improved."
