Incident reporting, logging, and reports alarms and alerts
The product has already improved in the sense that they are continuously making the effort to make the product better. We are now starting to work with a new version over this past month. The product improvement is there and new features are coming out. Then they have just announced something to do with the EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response). In four months, feature-wise, a lot has been going on. They have concentrated their effort and their focus now is on USM Anywhere, which is the cloud-based system. But we already know that in our case, some of these clients will not want to send their information to the cloud. This is why we are focusing on USM on-premise and the appliance model. Otherwise, it would have been much easier for us to go into the USM Anywhere cloud-based product in terms of deployment and maintenance. So in all, I would say the core improvements are going on. What I have seen in the product itself right now, is adequate to meet the present requirements. But of course, the requirements will keep on changing.

Offers robust real-time monitoring capabilities but issues with stability of the solution
The deployment could definitely be improved. We still have some of the RedCloak agents. They don't have a remote-controlled uninstall. You have to manually connect to every machine to remove it. Taegis, that's not an issue with Taegis. Taegis actually does work that way. You can remove it. We push it out from Intune. But the RedCloak has tied it even after supposedly running the uninstall; it's still there. In future releases, if Taegis could come with bundled AV. It would be a great feature, which was actually one of the reasons why we moved to CrowdStrike because of the bundled solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is powerful and rapidly developing into an all-in-one solution."
"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 solution definitely made us way more aware of the possibilities out there."
"We can easily isolate affected machines in the network."
"The most valuable features are IDS and IPS."
"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 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."
"The initial setup was very straight forward."
 

Cons

"The depth of the technical documentation needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Dell Secureworks is for higher-end customers and it's not quite as straightforward to implement or to get up and running as some of the other solutions."
"It would be nice if the solution were a little more affordable."
"In terms of ROI, I'd be surprised if there is any investment return on the SIM."
"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."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
"The deployment could definitely be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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