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.

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.

Can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively
Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools. Before, we struggled with setting policies and making changes to workstations. Now, we can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively. We monitor who's using various licenses like Office, CAD, Visio, and Lumion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."
"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 like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"We are very satisfied with Kaspersky products."
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"As far as it functions, it works fine."
"The initial setup was fairly simple, taking only a few minutes."
"It is very reliable, user-friendly endpoint security software."
"In my experience, Kaspersky products have comprehensive and quick zero-day response for global and local (Indonesia) threats, including spam, Trojans, worms, etc."
"The initial setup was extremely straightforward and very easy."
"The interface is friendly."
"Although it is, in fact, a complete vulnerability management solution, the most valuable feature is the patch management functionality. Most of our customers give preference to this tool over other tools when it comes to patch management."
"Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools."
 

Cons

"The complexity and confusion regarding product variants, such as XDR, Forexiant, and Forexon, must be addressed."
"There are a large number of false positives."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"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 deployment could be better. Recently when I try to deploy it I received a large number of failures."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
"We would like it so that if a user uses it on-premises, the server should use fewer hardware resources."
"It's does not have the architecture or structure to scale up."
"I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background."
"We've found that sometimes the solution is not doing its job in detecting some malware."
"The solution's management console can be better and more granular than it is now."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform needs to incorporate more documentation."
"SanerNow has good integration with the more well known ITSM tools, but at the same time there are many other ITSM (IT Service Management) tools available in the market, including local tools here in India, and I'm not sure how SanerNow plans to integrate with them all out of the box."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The price was fine."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"We pay a yearly annual subscription for this product."
"The solution is comparatively priced."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"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."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"As with several other solutions such as Microsoft MECM and SCCM, the licensing for SanerNow involves per-device pricing for each kind of product or service on offer."
"The pricing is reasonable - we paid about 2.5 million for 3,500 nodes."
