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.
Ashutosh Jha - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Engineer at IT Solution
Endpoint protection has strengthened malware defense and simplifies web and peripheral control
I would give Sophos Endpoint a rating of nine out of ten because it is working very well. I have cut one point because it has no solution for on-premises. Additionally, it has no solution for any Linux-based system endpoints. I have to install the server protection on Linux machines, which is why I am cutting one point for Sophos Endpoint. Sophos Endpoint should include the Linux endpoint agent and should provide a solution for Linux endpoints as well, because the server license is costly and nobody wants to use the server license on an endpoint machine. Sophos Endpoint should have a Linux endpoint independent agent as well.

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 is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"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 auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the detection capability, machine learning, ransomware protection, and live response."
"It's a stable product, and so far I haven't had any issues from an endpoint perspective with it blocking something that I'm trying to use or anything of that sort."
"The most valuable feature is the central administration and management."
"We were concerned about the threat posed by malware. The product's effectiveness in addressing this threat and capturing it within the network has been quite helpful."
"It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."
"Really I could give it a nine because I can recommend the product as an excellent solution."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"You cannot choose a more complete Sophos EPP Suite, especially if you're looking for a secure environment."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"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."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"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 customer support is a little slow and could be improved."
"The only drawback is that it requires a little more system configuration."
"There could be an equipment inventory feature for the solution."
"If we could bypass the first couple of levels of support when we have a problem then it would be easier and quicker when we need an issue resolved."
"The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."
"I have cut one point because it has no solution for on-premises. Additionally, it has no solution for any Linux-based system endpoints."
"The Sophos EPP Suite should work on key areas, especially in data management, specifically the data retention part. The data lake storage has certain limits."
"Sophos EPP Suite could improve the way it can be installed. They used to have one installer and now they have two, one for the server and one for the client. I don't know the difference, it brings confusion."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
Information not available
"Willing to discount when you are switching from another product. Upgrading services will end up costing more, as expected."
"The pricing for this solution is ok."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"Price-wise, it is cheap. We need to pay 1,500 to 2,000 INR per user...On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"When compared to Fortinet, the renewal and subscription is quite expensive."
"From my perspective, it is not the most expensive, it is aligned with the market."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
