We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Secureworks Taegis XDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The common and advanced security policies for threat hunting and blocking attacks are valuable."
"The 'Incidents and Alerts' tab is a valuable feature where we can find triggered alerts."
"Many people don't realize that Microsoft Azure, Exchange Online, and the security and compliance portal all sync together. For instance, within the Azure portal you can set security restrictions and policies to help secure your tenants... The good part of it is that these products have already been integrated. When you sign on as an admin you have global admin rights and that gives you access to all these features."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a good solution and easy to use."
"The product is very easy to use."
"The ability to integrate and observe a more cohesive narrative across the products is crucial."
"We can automate routine tasks and write scripts to carry out difficult tasks, which makes things easier for us."
"I like 365 Defender's advanced threat hunting. The dashboard is user-friendly with templates for site policies, etc. The most important use case is evaluating the risk links and applications."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's a complete solution package."
"The web filtering solution needs to be improved because currently, it is very simple."
"It would be beneficial to have a more seamless experience with everything consolidated in one place, particularly when dealing with aspects related to the Exchange console."
"The licensing is a nightmare and has room for improvement."
"Since all of our databases are updated and located in the cloud, I would like additional support for this."
"Microsoft 365 Defender does not have a unique package with emerging endpoint security technologies, such as EDR and XDR."
"There could be a way to proactively monitor unusual activity ."
"There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups."
"There are a few technical issues with Defender XDR that can be improved. Sometimes, the endpoint devices are not reporting properly to the Defender 365 portal. When you're getting all the information from the Microsoft portal, the devices are sometimes not in sync. We have hundreds of endpoint devices, some needing to be onboarded again."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"The price could be a little lower."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
