I enjoy how well it integrates Cisco systems to provide a single pane of glass for security events that are easily digestible to the SOC. However there is room for improvement to integrate more seamlessly with non Cisco products. XDR is great to identify where malicious processes are in the MITR kill chain and is useful for threat analysis.

  • use AI to review previous false negatives that contributed wrongly in the AI suggestion on the follow alerts
  • easily run a script based on values from an hash, ips, path inside the boxes on the behavioral tree
  • apply the remediation to a range of endpoint instead to only the endpoint of the current alert
  • use ajax for example to update the alert page automatically while actions are happening
  • for api have profiles that allow only get actions, or just post on some actions
  • create users in bulk

While both products were both easy to use and would have fit our environment, we are a very heavy Cisco shop and Cisco Cisco XDR fit better with the rest of our software portfolio. Stellar Cyber has some additional functionality in addition to Cisco XDR but the cost difference didn't work with our budget.
