Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration

Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Reliable threat protection is achieved while integration and analysis capabilities need refinement

Cisco Secure Endpoint is very good in machine learning, which allows it to secure offline contents even if not connected to the internet. We haven't encountered a single breach after it's deployed. It controls USB devices and has a separate antivirus solution called Tetra, providing security even for real-time, day-zero attacks through its strong Talos threat intelligence platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped us a lot with securing the whole environment and the whole IT structure, giving us full knowledge of what is happening on the client and enabling us to take action right away from a single point for managing security operations on the hosts."

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."

"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."

"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Cisco has definitely improved our organization a lot. In terms of business, our company feels safer. We actually switched from legacy signature-based solutions to threat intelligence-based and machine learning-based solutions, which is Cisco Secure. This has improved our security significantly, from 10% of signature-based technology security to 99.9% of the current one which we are running. We were happy."

"The most valuable feature is signature-based malware detection."

"The solution makes it possible to see a threat once and block it everywhere across all endpoints and the entire security platform. It has the ability to block right down to the file and application level across all devices based on policies, such as, blacklisting and whitelisting of software and applications. This is good. Its strength is the ability to identify threats very quickly, then lock them and the network down and block the threats across the organization and all devices, which is what you want. You don't want to be spending time working out how to block something. You want to block something very quickly, letting that flow through to all the devices and avoiding the same scenario on different operating systems."

"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect or respond to threats by 90 percent, blocking a vast majority of threats."

"The solution's integration capabilities are excellent. It's one of the best features."

"The product provides sandboxing options like file reputation and file analysis."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its technical support."

"Scalability wise, AMP is a sure shot recommendation."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pros

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"The product's pricing could be better."

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."

"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."

"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."

"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"This product has issues with the number of false positives that it reports."

"One of the things that Cisco Secure Endpoint really needs is that it's not just Secure Endpoint, it's a point product, and I think we really need to move into solution-based selling, designing, and architecting. So that we're not worried about putting things on endpoints and selling 'x' amount of endpoints, but to provide a solution that covers all of the remote access and sell them as solutions that cover multiple things."

"Cisco Secure Endpoint lacks features like DLP which other vendors offer. XDR is new, so integration capabilities with third-party tools need improvement."

"Due to the complexity of the technology that is used and its advanced threat detection capabilities, it is possible to encounter many delays in operation."

"Cisco Meraki could benefit from AI assistance or intelligent assistance features. Compared to competitors like Juniper, Cisco Meraki currently lacks a digital network assistant, which is an area Cisco is reportedly working on."

"The integration of the Cisco products for security could be better in the sense that not everything is integrated, and they aren't working together. In addition, not all products are multi-tenant, so you can't separate different customer environments from each other, which makes it a little bit hard for a managed service provider to deliver services to the customers."

"The Linux agent is a simple offline classic agent, and it doesn't support Secure Boot, which is important to have on a Linux machine. The Linux agent has conflicts with other solutions, including the Exploit Prevention system found in Windows servers. We didn't find a fix during troubleshooting, and Cisco couldn't offer one either. Eventually, we had to shut down the Exploit Prevention system. We didn't like that as we always want a solution that can fit smoothly into the setup without causing problems, especially where security is concerned. The tool also caused CPU spikes on our production machine, and we were seriously considering moving to another product."

"I would recommend that the solution offer more availability in terms of the product portfolio and integration with third-party products."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint cons

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"The interface is slow."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"This is an expensive solution."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"This is an expensive solution."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Pricing is a big issue."

"The visibility that we have into the endpoint and the forensics that we're able to collect give us value for the price. This is not an overly expensive solution, considering all the things that are provided. You get great performance and value for the cost."

"We had faced some license issues, but it has been improved. At the beginning of the implementation, we faced a lot of licensing issues, but now, we have EA licensing, which gives us an opportunity to grow."

"It can always be cheaper."

"My company does make annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cisco Secure Endpoint is a little bit expensive."

"Our company was very happy with the price of Cisco AMP. It was about a third of what we were paying for System Center Endpoint Protection."

"Cisco's pricing is reasonable. We also do not need to opt for niche players, which would have charged us significantly more than Cisco for ecosystem solutions. We are highly satisfied with the pricing structure of Cisco's solutions they are reasonable."

"Cisco Secure Endpoint is not too expensive and it's not cheap. It's quite fair."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"It is a cheaply priced product."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
