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.

Provides strong threat detection and response through behavior analytics and network isolation

I have found the most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert to be its ability to tackle the biggest challenges customers face when they have to mitigate any kind of a malware, ransomware attack, or online theft scenarios. The solution utilizes its HIPS, which is the host intrusion prevention system, behavior analytics system, and device control mechanism, making the antivirus capabilities of EDR quite strong. It is able to detect zero-day threats as well as historical or legacy malware, providing protection against current threats in the market and legacy malware. My opinion on the advanced threat detection algorithms in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is that the ATP functionality is quite strong because it utilizes the behavioral analytics engine in the backend, which employs machine learning mechanisms to identify any kind of vulnerability or exploit running on the operating system level and the network level. If an attack is about to happen on the endpoint, it is able to protect over the network as well and checks for any illegitimate encryption activities. The machine learning capability within Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert has contributed to improving detection accuracy and reducing false positives in my environment by helping me identify malicious activity and differentiate between any malicious activity on the operating system level and on the network level. I have seen customers with in-house developed applications that have no public signatures available. Once I whitelist a particular application, it intelligently whitelists not only the executable but also all the dependent services required to run that application. Furthermore, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert has successfully blocked network-level attacks on the endpoint. For example, during a recent DoS attack aimed at choking the entire network, Kaspersky detected the attack, isolated the device in a sandbox network, and alerted my SOC team via email for corrective action, thereby proactively helping me detect and protect devices from malicious attacks.

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

"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."

"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."

"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."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."

"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."

"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."

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."

"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Provides web and DNS protection over https."

"We like the automated change of policies, given some scenarios, and you can rely upon your automated policies being activated if you need to, giving you good protection when you are under attack or when ransomware is spreading across your network."

"The pricing is decent."

"The features I have found most valuable in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert are that it is the first line of defense for my organization, protects every single file from outbound traffic, checks every mail and file through various methods like FTP and cloud, avoids attacks, and provides dashboards to my SOC team for early alerts."

"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."

"In terms of effectiveness, it's the best; it is easy to set up, the product is stable, and we can scale the solution."

"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."

"In my opinion Kaspersky is the best product on the market, it's very easy to handle, user-friendly and they provide a lot of features that are difficult to find in other endpoint solutions."

More Kaspersky Next EDR Expert pros

"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."

"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."

Cons

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"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."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."

"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."

"I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team."

"I think Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert could be improved or enhanced by integrating all its functionalities into a single application and a single agent."

"The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."

"The user interface of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert could be more intuitive, and I would appreciate more flexibility or optimization in certain aspects."

"If a customer wants to use Kaspersky on-prem, they'll need to spend a lot on the hardware. Their server must be strong because EDR is a heavy product. You need excellent hardware to run it. It might make sense to deploy the solution in the cloud. If they add features, it will only make the product heavier and increase the hardware costs."

"Technical support can be improved. When you need support, when you call for support, and you present the evidence in a ticket, they always come back with more questions."

More Kaspersky Next EDR Expert cons

"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

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"This is an expensive solution."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

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

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."

"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."

"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."

"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."

"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."

"The solution’s pricing is okay."

More Kaspersky Next EDR Expert pricing and cost advice
