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."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."
"Its most significant advantage lies in its affordability."
"The incident threat response and its ability to facilitate effective remediation against threats are the standout features."
"It's a great threat intelligence source for us, providing alerts for things it detects on the network and on the machines. We've used it often when there is a potential incident to see what was done on a computer. That works quite nicely because you can see everything that the user has done..."
"Microsoft 365 Defender's most valuable feature is the ability to control the shadow IP."
"The summarization of emails is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable aspect is undoubtedly the exploration capability"
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's a complete solution package."
"When discussing the secure score, which includes overviews and recommended actions, some of these recommended actions are not applicable to us, particularly those related to Microsoft Internet Explorer, which we do not use in any of our environments."
"This solution could be improved if it included features such as those offered by Malwarebytes."
"The solution could improve by having better machine learning and AI. Additionally, the interface, documentation, and integration could be better."
"There is definitely scope for improvement in the automation area. Because the solution is a SaaS platform, we don't have the overall ability to automate stuff.... There is no direct way to go ahead because it's a SaaS platform."
"Microsoft Defender XDR is not a full-fledged EDR or XDR."
"The licensing is a nightmare and has room for improvement."
"The price should be adjustable by region."
"The onboarding and offboarding need improvement. I work with other vendors as well, and they have an option to add a device or remove a device from the portal, whereas with Microsoft 365 Defender, we need to do that manually. However, once you do that, everything can be controlled through the portal, but getting the device onboarded and offboarded is currently manual. If we have an option to simply remove a device from the portal or get a device added from the portal, it would be more convenient. The rest of the features are similar. This is the only area where I found it different from others. I would also like to be able to simply filter with a few of the queries that are already there."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"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."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
