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.

Have maintained strong endpoint protection through behavioral analysis and daily monitoring
I previously mentioned that Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have built-in DLP, which was a concern. I think they could add it in the future; however, antivirus cannot provide a proper DLP solution, but they can offer a mix of DLP, similar to Trend Micro Apex One, which provides some sort of DLP file management. Nonetheless, we need a proper DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec, whichever suits us. We'll be conducting performance evaluation in the next quarter while working on other projects. More value means a better GUI, user interface, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. In Sophos, we receive a daily system-generated report about what is happening, plus an alert system. The reporting system in Trend Micro is also excellent; I receive an email every day at 10:00 AM with a report for the last 24 hours.

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 changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats, as we are able to see the files, unwanted files, unsecured files, and unauthorized files, so we are quarantining them."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."
"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."
"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."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"It's an affordable security solution."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"We have over 1,000 users using the solution in our organization and the solution has been able to handle it."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"Kaspersky support has cooperated with us, and they were very helpful."
"I think that all the features are valuable for our environment."
"It helps to improve our security for our mobile and VMware infrastructure. The remote tasks are great."
 

Cons

"This is a very costly product."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"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."
"Limited remote connection."
"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature."
"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 solution could be a lot lighter. You really feel it when the laptop starts."
"A big improvement would be allowing us to reconfigure the agents and change what to whitelist for a specific user. If the user is not happy with the configuration and is being blocked from certain sites, we should be able to reconfigure the monitoring mechanics to make it more flexible."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"Trend Micro is more active than Kaspersky in this regard."
"The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"The encryption feature could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"Very costly product."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"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 reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
Information not available
"There is a license required for this solution and we have 1,800 licenses. The cost is a bit high and we are looking for an alternative."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"The solution is comparatively priced."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"We have approximately 700 licenses for this solution and we pay annually."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
