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

"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

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

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."

"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."

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

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"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 of the solution is its technical support."

"Another of my favorite features is called the Device Trajectory, where it shows everything that's going on, on a computer. It shows the point in time when a virus is downloaded, so you can see if the user was surfing the internet or had a program open. It shows every running process and file access on the computer and saves it like a snapshot when it detects something malicious. It also has a File Trajectory, so you can even see if that file has been found on any of your other computers that have AMP."

"The solution's stability is perfect."

"The integration with other Cisco products seemed to be really effective. We had Umbrella in place and we were using AnyConnect as well as Firepower. Once a threat was detected, being able to do the threat lookups and the live tracking was really useful."

"It used to take us a month to find out that something is infected, we now know that same day, as soon it is infected."

"Real-time threat prevention using sandboxing, file trajectory, and retrospective security."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pros

"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."

"The solution is stable."

"The update process and policy control are good."

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

"The price could be a little lower."

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."

"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."

"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The technical support is very slow."

"It could be improved in connection with artificial intelligence and IoT."

"The product does not provide options like tunnel creation or virtual appliances."

"It is not very stable because we have new versions four times a year, which fixes bugs. We had some problems with some deployments."

"The reporting and analytics areas of the solution need to be improved."

"Maybe there is room for improvement in some of the automated remediation."

"...the greatest value of all, would be to make the security into a single pane of glass. Whilst these products are largely integrated from a Talos perspective, they're not integrated from a portal perspective. For example, we have to look at an Umbrella portal and a separate AMP portal. We also have to look at a separate portal for the firewalls. If I could wave a magic wand and have one thing, I would put all the Cisco products into one, simple management portal."

"We had a lot of noise at the beginning, and we had to turn it down based on exclusions, application whitelisting, and excluding unknown benign applications. Cisco should understand the need for continuous updates on the custom Cisco exclusions and the custom applications that come out-of-the-box with the AMP for Endpoints."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint cons

"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

"The interface is slow."

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

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"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."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Whenever you are doing the licensing process, I would highly advise to look at what other Cisco solutions you have in your organization, then evaluate if an Enterprise Agreement is the best way to go. In our case, it was the best way to go. Since we had so many other Cisco products, we were able to tie those in. We were actually able to get several Cisco security solutions for less than if we had bought three or four Cisco security solutions independently or ad hoc."

"It is quite cost-effective. I would rate it ten out of ten."

"The costs of 50 licenses of AMP for three years is around $9,360."

"There is also the Cisco annual subscription plus my management time in terms of what I do with the Cisco product. I spend a minimal amount of time on it though, just rolling out updates as they need them and monitoring the console a couple of times a day to ensure nothing is out of control. Cost-wise, we are quite happy with it."

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

"Pricing is a big issue."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. The cost of AMP for Endpoints is inline with all the other software that has a monthly endpoint cost. It might be a little bit higher than other antivirus type products, but we're only talking about a dollar a month per user. I don't see that cost as being an issue if it's going to give us the confidence and security that we're looking for. We have had a lot of success and happiness with what we're using, so there's no point in changing."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The license isn't expensive."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

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

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

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."

"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."

"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
