User Testimonials
	Cisco XDR	Norton Small Business
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG) We are a small company; Norton Small Business gives us the freedom for our remote employees to work securely using their personal laptop /smartphone. Less appropriate: Someone with a few separate locations that require separate cybersecurity environment but would still benefit from centralized management.

Pros	Cisco Providing visibility for threat risks Detecting holes in the network that have vulnerabilites Flagging ddos events and kicking off an incident response Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG) Effective Outcomes Transparent & Customised Pricing Ease of Use Incentivized Prasar Sharma Principal Consultant Read full review
Cons	Cisco XDR can improve with more integrations XDR can be improved with more programmability for the end user XDR can be improved with more options to mitigate events Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG) perfectly works for us, nothing as of now works as expected, found reasonable for us Farukh Alam Technical Engineer Read full review
Usability	Cisco No answers on this topic	Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG) It's good for a small business that needs cybersecurity without needing to spend a lot of money. Besides being affordable it seems to be extremely, reliable, and easy to use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cisco 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG) We did not actively consider any other software. Overall we did do a basic understanding of a pricing & features and found that the offerings from Symantec were better than others even prima facie. At the current time for an organisation such as ours we do not believe that there is any other option worth active consideration Incentivized Prasar Sharma Principal Consultant Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco It has reduced the number of tools we have had to budget for. We were able to replace a third part MDR service with Cisco XDR Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG) Money saved on cybersecurity products Time saved: ease of use Reliable Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
