Aren't we late into the XDR market which is already dominated by Microsoft and Google ? along with others like Exbeam, Artic Wolf, Crowd Stike, Palo Alto etc. How are goiing to sell this to replace a free SecureX with paid XDR ? in my team everyone is talking about XRD now a days... wondering is it something similar to our Tetration or Predictable Internet or Stealthwatch Cloud etc. one of those which make our ELT excited but we hardly sell any?

Difference is we paid a lot of money to lure talented engineers to develop this. We haven’t exactly had top notch security folks in the past, despite the lip service to how important it was.
Cisco has to basically give it away in a bundle.
Rinse and repeat. Isn't this what happens to 90% of the acquisitions?
StealthWatch Cloud (Observable Networks) AKA Secure Cloud Analytics, has been an absolute failure. Cisco first tried rebranding it to StealthWatch Cloud after the acquisition in an effort to try and gain customers based on (Lancope) StealthWatch Enterprises' decent reputation, but it failed and customers quickly realized the hoax because it was nothing like StealthWatch,. Virtually everyone from the Observable Networks team is gone now leaving StealthWatch Cloud (SCA) to rot. No real development, support or service delivery exists and Cisco has to basically give it away in a bundle.
