Improved network protection has secured our servers and monitors web and application traffic
Till now, I have not seen any weak point that needs to be improved in Secureworks Taegis XDR. I think that since the technology is becoming upgraded, it will be good for Sophos to include more features in future updates of this solution. Secureworks Taegis XDR is a good product, but it should include AI technology.
Twinkle Solanki - PeerSpot reviewer
Business development executive at Digitaltrack solution Pvt Ltd
Continuous network insight has improved early threat detection and streamlined investigations
Overall, we have a positive experience with Trellix Network Detection and Response, but like any enterprise security solution, there are areas where it can continue to improve. One area would be user interface and dashboard customization. While the platform provides a lot of valuable information, new users can sometimes face a learning curve when navigating and investigating and creating customized views. More intuitive dashboards would simplify workflows and help analysts access critical information even faster. Another area for improvement is reporting and analytics. The existing reporting capabilities are useful, but more flexibility and customizable reporting options would make it easier to generate executive-level summaries, compliance reports, and operational metrics for different audiences.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 auto-triage feature of Secureworks Taegis XDR makes my workflow easier and efficient, helping me shorten the time of responding to every alert, make my activities productive, and manage everything that I need to check every alert and detection."
"It's a complete solution package."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Definitely, Secureworks Taegis XDR is cost effective for the long run since the product is at a lower cost rather than other brands."
"Once we had a chance to do our own due diligence, it was clear that there is really nothing else that compares with the FireEye appliance."
"The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to identify threats earlier in the attack lifecycle and providing better visibility into network activity across the organization."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"It has provided us with better malware, intrusion and incident detection."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"I would definitely recommend this product because I have seen many cases where other solutions were not able to catch malware, but FireEye raised a red flag."
"Initially, we didn't have much visibility around what is occurring at our applications lower level. For instance, if we are exposed to any malicious attacks or SQL injections. But now we've integrated FireEye with Splunk, so now we get lots of triggers based on policy content associated with FireEye. The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."
"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."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"Customer support for Secureworks Taegis XDR is not that bad; they are reachable but not super efficient."
"Overall, we have a positive experience with Trellix Network Detection and Response, but like any enterprise security solution, there are areas where it can continue to improve."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"The customer service is not that good."
"Improvement-wise, the initial setup, fine-tuning, and learning can take effort."
"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."
"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."
"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed. We would like FireEye to be more secure as an organization. FireEye has to be more protective because it is one of the most critical devices that we are using in our environment. They have a concept called SSL decryption, but that is only the packet address. We would like FireEye to also do a lot of decryption inside the packet. Currently, FireEye only does encryption and decryption of the header, but we would like them to do encryption and decryption of the entire packet."
"The pricing is not reasonable. The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is six out of ten."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"It's an expensive solution."
"There are some additional services that I understand the vendor provides, but our approach was to package all of the features that we were looking to use into the product."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
