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.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

"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 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."

"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."

"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Any alert that we get is an actionable alert. Immediately, there is information that we can just click through, see the point in time, what happened, what caused it, and what automatic actions were taken. We can then choose to take any manual actions, if we want, or start our investigation. We're no longer looking at digging into information or wading through hundreds of incidents. There's a list which says where the status is assigned, e.g., under investigation or investigation finished. That is all in the console. It has taken away a lot of the administration, which we would normally be doing, and integrated it into the console for us."

"Cisco Secure Endpoint enables us to stop a threat before it spreads across our system, which is a massive improvement for us as we couldn't follow threats and respond to them as rapidly when we used other solutions."

"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 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."

"For the initial first level of support, we provide it from our side. If there's escalation required, we use Cisco tech for the AMP. And again, they are perfect. I mean, one of the best, compared to any other vendors."

"If you are looking for deep security and malware for your endpoint users and network then I would recommend Cisco AMP."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the IPS and the integration with ISE."

"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."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pros

"The update process and policy control are good."

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

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

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

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

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"The convenience has been great."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."

"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."

"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The initial setup is a bit complex because you need to execute existing antiviruses or security software that you have on your device."

"The thing I hate the most, which they have not fixed, is when it creates duplicate entries within a console."

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

"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 billing process for us is hard where we've got those two users."

"In Orbital, there are tons of prebuilt queries, but there is not a lot of information in lay terms. There isn't enough information to help us with what we're looking for and why we are looking for it with this query. There are probably a dozen queries in there that really focus on what I need to focus on, but they are not always easy to find the first time through."

"The reporting and the need for the documentation to be updated and current would be my two biggest areas of complaint."

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

More Cisco Secure Endpoint cons

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"The interface is slow."

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

"User management could be improved."

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is moderate."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

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

"Pricing can be more expensive than similar software that does less functionality, but not recognized by customers."

"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."

"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."

"Pricing is a big issue."

"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."

"The solution's price is about the same as that of Palo Alto solutions."

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

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"The license isn't expensive."

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

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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."
