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.

Continuous protection has improved automated threat response and reporting for our endpoints
We did work with one of our clients who required mobile security solutions. In my opinion, Trend Micro, when we went through the POCs and other components, we did not find it very strong as far as mobile security is concerned. I think Kaspersky is much better than Trend Micro when it comes to mobile security solutions. From an outside perspective, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum looks pretty strong and comprehensive. The main improvement would be if they could decrease the cost, as it would be great for clients since it is quite expensive now compared to when it used to be cheaper. The key competitor for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is Trend Micro. Trend Micro is the only competitor in the market right now. I would say both Trend Micro Endpoint Detection and Response and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum are quite similar; I cannot say that one is better than the other. The difference is mainly in cost; Trend Micro has mostly moved all their products to the cloud, offering no on-premises products now, whereas Kaspersky is still in a transition phase providing both on-premises and cloud solutions. Many clients prefer on-premises as it is less expensive compared to cloud.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing
The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has given us better endpoint visibility and richer investigation context, allowing us to identify suspicious activity, understand the attack path, and contain potential threats much faster than before."
"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is effective, especially in isolating computers from the network when needed."
"They provide integrated protections and prevention with multi-layered anti-malware, which makes clients want to go for it."
"The most advantageous aspect is tracking and taking action automatically."
"The most beneficial aspect of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is its protection capabilities, followed by its device management capabilities. The ability to remotely install software is highly advantageous, making it a convenient and helpful feature."
"EDR Optimum's best features are its dashboard, control of external media, and user-friendliness."
"I mostly like how they capture particular files and submit them to other files, and they have the solution console. And for example, we are using the one in for an application, like, on the RansomFree, if there are any vulnerabilities in patches coming, in the future, they fix these."
"The product is lightweight and does not slow down the PC. The malware and virus detection rate is also very good."
"It fulfills security and protection requirements against newly discovered malware, especially ransomware attacks."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
 

Cons

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"The price could be a little lower."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"I would rate it an 8 rather than a 10 mainly because there is still room to improve the user experience around complex investigations, including alert tuning and third-party integration."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"Occasionally, I encounter connection problems, and the signal is not very good."
"Unfortunately, Kaspersky UI is something they need to work upon. It's not as simplistic or user-friendly as other competing products such as Sophos or Check Point."
"To increase the benefits of the product, Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service from Kaspersky should be included."
"I want the tool’s pricing to improve."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum would be to provide the cloud console platform to all users, regardless of the number of licenses a company has purchased. For example, a company with 50 employees should have access to the cloud console platform even if they have only purchased a certain number of licenses for the solution."
"They should provide more notifications for incidents and more clarification or information about malicious activity."
"The application should be made a bit lighter so that it does not slow down the PC."
"Security features could be improved."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"The price was fine."
"This is an expensive solution."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It cost approximately €10,000 annually."
"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten. You need to pay about 80,000 rupees yearly for the tool. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"The pricing is totally reasonable."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is affordability, even for companies with limited budgets, such as those in the Pakistani market. It is a subscription-based license."
"The tool’s pricing is yearly. The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is more affordable than the endpoint security product of Fortinet. Whether it's worth the money depends on your security strategy."
"Kaspersky gives a consolidated price with a good solution. If we choose something else, we need to add other options on our own."
"The solution could be made a bit cheaper."
