    My overall experience has been positive, in terms of threat detection and response. The platform uses Cisco Talos and AI assistance to respond which is very efficient. As i have deployed it in my company, initial requirements and maintenance requires good understand of cisco ecosystem. Apart from that, I really like the automated response and MITRE mapping feature.

Dislike

Compared to other XDRs, I find it a bit less helpful. Other security solutions provide in-depth logs as compared to Cisco. Parsing the other logs makes it a bit more useful. For SOC teams, they have more visibility for any events.
