User Testimonials
	Cisco XDR	Sophos Intercept X for Server
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	Sophos Licensing is incredibly easy to renew - and to adjust based on usage. The interface of cloud-based management is fantastic and easy to navigate as well. Syncs up with Active Directory to get users/security groups and such for easily differentiating policies to various users. Being able to pinpoint exactly where a threat infiltrated a system (what it talked to once it did so) is a massive feature in responding to online threats. Depending on deployment size - the cost could be an issue for some smaller organizations. Incentivized MA Morgan Anderson Network Administrator Read full review
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	Sophos File protection and Recovery Blocks exploits to deny attackers Malware Detection Incentivized MC Mehak Chawla Marketing Associate 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	Sophos Takes time to deploy and keep updated Resource heavy application when running Incentivized Christopher Fritz Senior IT Supporter 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	Sophos Does a great job protecting our systems. Email security has more features and easy to manage. You don't have to have your own server to run the endpoint security. Auto updates the endpoint and servers. With a Managed detect response team that does human threat hunting. Overall an awesome product. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	Sophos It has protected us from a ransomware attack. Centralized management has saved us time. It takes more time to install than others. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
