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

"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."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"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 most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is specifically designed to prevent zero-day attacks and is part of an ecosystem of Palo Alto, providing customers with a long-term vision to modify and redesign how security is applied in their company."
"Kaspersky support has cooperated with us, and they were very helpful."
"The performance is good. It doesn't use a lot of resources, which is crucial for us."
"I have found the security, device, web and application controls to be the most valuable features."
"It helps to improve our security for our mobile and VMware infrastructure. The remote tasks are great."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"The hardware hardware detection is the most valuable feature. The feature where you can block and unblock mobile devices is also good."
"Endpoint Security's most valuable feature is its heuristic analysis. This heuristic approach means that it learns from its past experiences. It is the most valuable feature they have. This contributes to dealing with ransomware, detection, and early mitigation actions."
"Very good interface."
"We are protected at all points, all clean, all the time, with no attacks from the outside."
"The encryption is very good."
"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."
"Fast encryption feature."
"One valuable feature is full disk encryption."
"We use the solution for data encryption."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is security."
 

Cons

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"The GUI mode in the product is an area with certain shortcomings since it looks old with the graphics provided by Kaspersky."
"This solution needs improvement in the reporting section. Reporting in Kaspersky Endpoint is good but it's not that great. The platform needs to centralize reporting control."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"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."
"We are having some troubles because some American companies we work with don't want to work with Kaspersky."
"I would like to see integration to many different systems easier."
"The deployment could be better."
"I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"I would not recommend this solution."
"In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly."
"Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust."
"There are a couple of bugs in this solution and these are creating a very large transaction log in the database, sometimes reaching 300GB, which is very annoying."
"Support from them was not fast."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption currently lacks something similar to a firewall that can detect any vulnerabilities."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"The price was fine."
"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."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"The product is available at a low price."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"The solution requires a license and there are different license packages depending on the number of users you need."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"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."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
