We have four thousand endpoints, and I have installed XDR on these endpoints. They are integrated with Cisco Firepower Threat Defense. XDR can also integrate with Cisco Meraki solutions. Any issue in a PC will send a message to Meraki, the Firewall, and email security systems, ensuring that a PC will be isolated from the network if necessary.

Integration of endpoints enables comprehensive threat detection and isolation
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Cisco XDR offers threat intelligence and links with the Firewall. I can see the Cisco XDR feature in the Firewall with Threat Intelligence. The integration with XDR and Cisco Meraki solutions allows detection of zero-day attacks. XDR connects with Cisco's cloud for updates on zero-day attacks. There is good integration with Splunk, which Cisco acquired, providing comprehensive log management and analysis.
What needs improvement?
They need to provide better pricing and bundle XDR licenses with products like Meraki solutions or Firepower Threat Defense. Offering some free XDR licenses for testing features, similar to VPN licenses, could have a significant impact on costs.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been familiar with Cisco XDR for the last two years.
What was our ROI?
I haven't thought about the return on investment since I am too busy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We focus on one vendor, Cisco, which provides us with excellent discounts when we buy multiple products. This integration and discounting are something we cannot get from competitors, leading to reduced security costs.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Cisco XDR as eight out of ten. They need to improve their pricing strategy for a higher rating.
