Offers data models that learn the patterns and behavior of the internal network
I really like the artificial intelligence feature that utilizes automated versioning through AI Yellow Prism. It has a lot of data models that learn the patterns and behavior of the internal network. If something abnormal happens, it raises a flag or alert. The GUI control interface was good and very attractive, and setting up the tool was easy with the help of online articles. Customization was also possible for each department.

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 reports it shares with the IT team provide the feedback necessary to see what needs to change and what needs to continue to be done."
"We get analysis and can take into consideration the critical alerts found at any time. This gives us security and stability."
"Advanced threat intelligence reports have enabled each department to coordinate roles and put security measures in place."
"It was easily configured and offered one more layer of security in our environment as the monitoring provided by the dashboard is very complete."
"It's a small investment to protect our largest investment which is the assets, both physical and virtual, shielding us from attacks and making it possible for us to operate seamlessly and with full confidence."
"The most outstanding characteristic that we can see is having something in place that allows any network administrator to apply security policies throughout the company's network."
"We have not seen a security capacity equal to that of Check Point in other manufacturers."
"We get analysis and can take into consideration the critical alerts found at any time, which gives us security and stability."
"The knowledge base is up to date and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are IDS and IPS."
"Secureworks Taegis Managed XDR MDR is a great product that has not posed any challenges from my perspective."
"Solved a fundamental problem that lets us all sleep well at night!"
"The pricing is flexible."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like for the service to be a little more accessible for all segments."
"One of the great improvements that must be improved is the support for end users."
"The documentation for the most modern applications of the manufacturer is sometimes not well done or complete."
"Sometimes we can see the documentation and follow its instructions to apply a new rule or policy, and sometimes we don't get the expected result by following them."
"Sometimes we can see the documentation and follow its instructions to apply a new rule or policy, and sometimes we don't get the expected result by following them."
"We want better customization."
"The next release should have threat indicators that categorize various types of threats and their immediate solution."
"The only issue I encountered was with mobile device integration and compatibility with on-premise solutions."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
"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."
"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 terms of ROI, I'd be surprised if there is any investment return on the SIM."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see file integrity monitoring."
"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."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR's query language and stability need improvement."
"This solution could be improved with a higher degree of automation such as automated emails, triggers and defining the severity of the cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The Red Cloak agent is free."
"The pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"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 price is kind of on par. The licensing was comparable to other solutions. It's not particularly high or low."
"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."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
