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.

Centralized encryption management has strengthened compliance and protects sensitive data daily
When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working. There could be improvements specifically about the scanning part and policy part where we have to deploy what we actually require. I would like to see features that include collaboration of all alerts and applied analytics so we can immediately identify issues. Analytics can provide immediate reporting before issues spread, as sometimes one issue captured at the site level can spread to high-level operations. If identified and communicated to the team immediately, it could prevent issues. Usually, downloading and reviewing the report takes too much time, and many engineers skip it due to the volume of tasks. However, analytics could generate alerts and ticketing if integrated with the EMS application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboard is customizable."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats, as we are able to see the files, unwanted files, unsecured files, and unauthorized files, so we are quarantining them."
"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."
"We've been quite happy with the capabilities of the product in general."
"Antivirus, including anti-spam, trojan, and worm detection and prevention. Kaspersky has a comprehensive virus definition update which is very helpful for threat prevention."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
"That said, I've never gotten a virus on my machine using this product."
"The signature update is done securely."
"Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business's most valuable feature is the ease of management."
"The antivirus feature is very, very good."
"The interface is a great feature."
"We use the solution for data encryption."
"The encryption is very good."
"The solution is good overall. All of its features are good."
"It passes your data as encrypted in all of your endpoints so that data is more secure so any threat of theft is minimized."
"Encryption is the basic feature, and that is what I like about it. I also like that it is kind of easy to install and easy to configure."
"The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software."
 

Cons

"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"Limited remote connection."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"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."
"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."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"There are some false positives."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"The product is expensive."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"The application updates and drive encryption are lacking."
"The solution is very draining on the computers at certain moments in its operation, excluding the scanning periods that make the computer unusable until finished. It is a balance between economic protection and client machine performance to our users."
"It would be good if Kaspersky could lower the solution's price so people could afford to buy the licenses."
"Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust."
"In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful."
"It is not easy to integrate with third party solutions."
"It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring."
"Should have more features of Deep Scanning"
"I have been infected with ransomware that Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption should catch, and if we get infected it must be learning for it to know it is malware."
"In terms of what must be improved, I would say the support, the next feature, and the road map. I think all these must be improved, but the important thing to improve is the support."
"There are recovery issues that arise."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The product is available at a low price."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"The solution is comparatively priced."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."
"We have been using a yearly subscription and feel that pricing could be better. Perhaps, discounts could be given, during the renewal process, to those who have been customers for some time."
"We purchase the product's yearly license. I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
