We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Secureworks Taegis XDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Wazuh and others in Extended Detection and Response (XDR)."The most valuable features of Microsoft 365 Defender are the combination of all the capabilities and centralized management."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is simple to upgrade."
"Advanced hunting is good. I like that. We can drill down to lots of details."
"The EDR and the way it automatically responds to ransomware and other attacks are valuable features."
"The EDR features are valuable. By getting the EDR features, we have more control over the device. We have information about events in real-time and more protection against zero-day threats and zero-day vulnerabilities. We can monitor every event or action that a device is going through. We can get an idea if it is something malicious or if we have to take any actions."
"Microsoft Defender's most critical component is its CASB solution. It has many built-in policies that can improve your organization's cloud security posture. It's effective regardless of where your users are, which is critical because most users are working from home. It's cloud-based, so nothing is on-premise."
"The common and advanced security policies for threat hunting and blocking attacks are valuable."
"The threat intelligence is excellent."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's a complete solution package."
"The data recovery and backup could be improved."
"At times, there may be delays in the execution of certain actions and their effects."
"Stability could be improved by avoiding frequent changes to the interface."
"At times, when we have an incident email and we click on the link for that incident, it opens a pop-up, but there is nothing. It has happened a couple of times."
"Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs."
"The design of the user interface could use some work. Sometimes it's hard to find the exact information you need."
"The support could be more knowledgable to improve their offering."
"The cost can be high if you want to build custom license packages. Another area for improvement is the policies. In Azure, we need to implement policies in JSON format, but in 365 Defender 365, it would be helpful to use a different format so we can customize the platform."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
