Tom Kar - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a user-friendly setup process, but its query language needs improvement
The product has valuable features for the EDR section. We can easily isolate affected machines in the network. It helps us prevent the spreading of malware or ransomware further Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR's query language and stability need improvement. Additionally, its price could be better…
Graham Peck - PeerSpot reviewer
Very easy to use with multiple options for licensing and scaling
Our company uses the solution instead of a traditional antivirus as an endpoint protector. We have all security alerts passed off to a SOC.  We are a football club and have 350 users across coaches, medical staff, and ticketing agents.  The solution is very easy to use.  The solution should add…

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 feature is the fast alerting and response time."
"Secureworks Taegis Managed XDR MDR is a great product that has not posed any challenges from my perspective."
"The pricing is flexible."
"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."
"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 most valuable features are IDS and IPS."
"The solution definitely made us way more aware of the possibilities out there."
"There are some patent pending detectors within the platform that provides a lot of value."
"SentinelOne Vigilance has very good detection."
"The initial setup process was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is protection against ransomware and malware."
"The product is stable."
"The rollback feature offered by the product is good."
"The best feature of this solution is the third-party management aspect. An external company oversees the tool's management and monitors the data it generates. If the EDR detects suspicious activity, it will react accordingly and take necessary actions, such as blocking a device."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is an endpoint security tool with quarantining, dashboards showing us information, and many capabilities like manual and automatic quarantine of environmental issues."
"The most valuable feature is that it works and isn't compromised. Other solutions I have used have all been compromised and SentinelOne is the only one that hasn't been compromised as far as I understand."
 

Cons

"The deployment could definitely be improved."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see file integrity monitoring."
"This solution could be improved with a higher degree of automation such as automated emails, triggers and defining the severity of the cases."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
"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."
"Tamper-proofing or tamper protection is still pending in Secureworks. Tamper protection will make it more secure. If I'm an admin of a device, I can uninstall an agent without the knowledge of the security or Secureworks admin. If someone gets hold of one endpoint with admin credentials, he can remove anything, and an organization will lose visibility. They need to work on providing more visibility across endpoints. A couple of times it has happened that the cloak agent is there, but it did not get activated, or there were some issues. The machine was restarted, but the cloak agent didn't run. In such cases, you have to troubleshoot. It is a big issue if a cyber attack is happening, and your machine is rebooted, but the events are not captured."
"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."
"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."
"The support response time is not the issue, however, sometimes, the answers provided are not fully satisfactory due to the nature of the technology and issue complexity."
"The solution should add endpoint clients for mobile and Linux devices because it currently doesn't support them."
"The solution's memory forensics capabilities and hard disk capacities are quite basic."
"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't actively monitor incoming emails or offer an email plugin for Outlook."
"My only complaint is that the knowledge base is not accessible to the customer."
"The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't have a direct connection with MSPs."
"Occasionally during an update, customers may temporarily be without protection until the upgrade is complete."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Red Cloak agent is free."
"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 pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR is very expensive and could be more cost-effective."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten since it is really expensive, but it is well worth what my company gets."
"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
"The tool's pricing is slightly cheaper than other alternatives. It's not just about licensing costs; because we already have it implemented, we can save money on deployment and initial setup. Additionally, SentinelOne Vigilance is slightly cheaper in licensing, maybe around 10-15 percent cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
