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.

Performance of Cisco XDR Across Market Features

Cisco XDR Likes & Dislikes

The feature that i liked the most is it maps events with MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques which makes it easier to understand the behavior of correlated events. Furthermore, I liked the automated response feature using workflows.

Cisco XDR provides great unified visibility across the entire attack surface. All the alerts, networks, and cloud infra are in the signal dashboard. XDR is cloud native and it is for speed and scalability. Cisco is famous for network and you can see the features in the XDR. Cisco has a very advanced TI inbuilt. Cisco also integrate this in the XDR to provide seamless enrichment.

Demo is helpful in the beginning. Detection and grouping related incidents and reporting all the most important things about it. Great integration with the Cisco ecosystem, and third parties as well. Flexible licensing options for companies of different sizes.

I disliked its heavy dependence on the cisco ecosystem. It's maximum effectiveness can be observed only if it is integrated with other cisco products. Another thing is its MITRE Mapping feature can be fine tuned to reduce noises and false positives.

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.

You need a good knowledge to implement and set some features and solutions. Price could be high, and maybe adding more languages would be useful.

Really good monitoring option and a security platform that combines all the data from different endpoints in a single incident view. It shortens our response time now that we have everything on a big screen. With AI capabilities it becomes a powerful tool.
