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.

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

"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

"Everything is organized straightforwardly; all the incidents are clearly described and everything you need is essentially in one menu and one UI interface, which is quite beneficial for me and also for the customer."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"I like the way it goes beyond the office space, and being a cloud-based solution makes it very easy to manage your endpoints within the office, and in this time of COVID, you can also very effectively manage people who are working from home."

"I consider the heuristics to be most valuable, the fact that the solution does not work solely on signatures."

"Overall, I am perfectly satisfied with the product."

"Sophos does this exceptionally well."

"The effectiveness of Intercept X Endpoint's deep learning technology in threat detection helps my team and my customers through automated incident response features."

"I am impressed with the tool's common dashboard feature. The solution is also easy to deploy and manage. Reporting is also easy with the software."

"The updates and a lot of the day-to-day fiddling that you would have to do with it, can all be done from the cloud so it's easy to manage, and very easy to administer."

"Since it's cloud-managed, the solution is easy to administer, especially if the person using it is in a different geophysical location."

More Intercept X Endpoint pros

"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

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

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

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

"The solution is stable."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"On the pricing aspect, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks needs to have a more reasonable rate, particularly for customers in Sri Lanka and Asian countries."

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

"The product's pricing could be better."

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."

"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."

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."

"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The tool is not stable on Linux systems."

"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough."

"The initial setup with the centralized console was a little bit challenging."

"When there is an event generated by either the firewall or Intercept X, and the originating IP address is the same, these should be merged into a single event rather than two."

"The tool should be made compatible with Linux and Microsoft operating systems."

"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough. It hasn't been a long time since Sophos has offered reproduction. Due to the fact that it's so young, it has fewer functionalities than other and more mature ADR solutions."

"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."

"From the management side, we receive detailed information. Sophos has many features, such as Threat Hunting but that comes with the XDR version of the solution. There's Sophos Intercept X and then there's Sophos Intercept X with XDR technology. We bought the XDR and then now the MTR, Managed Threat Response version available too. They have different packages for clients which gives them different options to pick from. If Sophos could combine more features into one package it would be beneficial."

More Intercept X Endpoint cons

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

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

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

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

"The interface is slow."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"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."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a yearly renewal."

"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."

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

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Its price depends on the scenario. It is very expensive, but it is not more expensive than other vendors. The price of Check Point and other vendors is much higher than Sophos."

"Compared to other solutions, such as CrowdStrike, we are most certainly happy with its pricing. We did a three year-business deal."

"The price of this solution is reasonable."

"We have an annual subscription."

"We were able to eliminate the ransomware using the one-month, full-featured trial license."

"It is a high-cost solution."

"I find the pricing to be a little bit expensive, although it is acceptable, for now."

"It was fairly and reasonably priced."

More Intercept X Endpoint pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"It is a cheaply priced product."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"The license isn't expensive."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."
