Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Auto scanning and enhanced security but re-adding protections need improvement
At that time, we observed certain issues with the product. The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature. If we remove our protection, we cannot easily add it back. If, in our organization, we need to remove a specific system for a particular time, we cannot add it back for security after doing so. This is one thing we have experienced. Scalability is also lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong.

Endpoint protection has prevented attacks and keeps our daily work productive and secure
I rate Intercept X Endpoint a 10 out of 10 because it is working very fine for my environment and has prevented loss of productivity. I choose 10 out of 10 because Intercept X Endpoint protects my environment well, featuring web control, peripheral control, Threat Analysis Center, application control, and DLP alongside being accessible from cloud services. I advise others looking into using Intercept X Endpoint to choose Sophos for a cloud solution due to its AI and behavior-based detection capabilities. I believe Intercept X Endpoint is the best EDR solution, and I would always recommend it to customers because it is very effective. My overall review rating for Intercept X Endpoint is 10 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."
"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."
"One major outcome our organization achieved with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a good tool for analysis, remediation, and incident response, with no negative points in terms of budget and overall effectiveness."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"This solution is stable; we haven't had any issues with Sophos Intercept X and we haven't had any complaints from our customers."
"Scalability is good."
"Sophos Intercept X is a full package; it's more than only an antivirus solution to find the malicious code, as we also use it to filter malicious websites and detect applications that have been outlined in our corporate policy."
"The most valuable feature of Intercept X its ability to stay ahead of the infection. By the time the ransomware spreads to the next machine in line, the data has already been encrypted on that workstation. It didn't matter what the ransomware did because could go in and get it back."
"It is very easy to set up and easy to use. It is also not resource-intensive."
"So far, the solution has met all our expectations."
"The most valuable part of this solution is just the general capability of making security more robust."
 

Cons

"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"Scalability is lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong."
"The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature."
"The tool is not stable on Linux systems."
"When we load Intercept X, it puts a load on the device. When it is scanning, it slows down the device. A system with basic specifications completely slows down till the scan is complete. They should improve this part."
"We would like more application control in order to be able to schedule times and access."
"Refreshing the data is probably something that needs to be addressed."
"The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."
"To be a perfect product, the price would have to be a bit better."
"Intercept X Endpoint's anti-ransomware capabilities failed us during a bad attack, and just because of our own backup policies, we could restore our normal operations; otherwise, if we had to depend on this solution, we would have been long dead because the infection was so bad, it couldn't even detect the infection."
"Intercept X needs more reporting and device management features, so I can get messages from PCs that let me know if I need to do something with them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"I am using the Community edition."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
Information not available
"They offer both monthly and yearly licenses."
"Its cost is good."
"You can pay monthly, but most of our customers choose annual subscriptions because they are less expensive."
"The pricing is quite expensive compared to the rest. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten; one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"You are able to purchase more licenses for the number of devices or servers that you require. There are many other features available but our license does not include them, such as XDR, which is endpoint detection and response. We have not explored the new features as of yet but plan to in the coming future."
"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."
"The price is pretty good."
"The cost of Sophos Intercept X is reasonable."
