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.

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.
Ashutosh Jha - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Engineer at IT Solution
Endpoint protection has strengthened malware defense and simplifies web and peripheral control
I would give Sophos Endpoint a rating of nine out of ten because it is working very well. I have cut one point because it has no solution for on-premises. Additionally, it has no solution for any Linux-based system endpoints. I have to install the server protection on Linux machines, which is why I am cutting one point for Sophos Endpoint. Sophos Endpoint should include the Linux endpoint agent and should provide a solution for Linux endpoints as well, because the server license is costly and nobody wants to use the server license on an endpoint machine. Sophos Endpoint should have a Linux endpoint independent agent as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."
"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
"We bought it because it was cost-effective."
"In terms of where we are right now, it's scaling quite well to other parts of the organization, and the experience has been pretty painless so far."
"This is where Sophos outclasses every other vendor."
"Sophos EPP Suite's best feature is that the endpoints and firewalls remain synced."
"The product is stable and has a user-friendly dashboard. It has good security features."
"You cannot choose a more complete Sophos EPP Suite, especially if you're looking for a secure environment."
"It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."
"It is doing its job. We use it for standard antivirus purposes and for making sure that people aren't downloading infected attachments. Because we use the cloud version, it is easy to maintain. We don't have to do anything to really maintain it. It gets updated automatically."
 

Cons

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."
"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 could be improved."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"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."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The only drawback is that it requires a little more system configuration."
"The technical support offered by Sophos is very poor."
"In terms of improvement, the main challenge is setting up VPN connections."
"The solution could improve on the resource management, it is a bit heavy on the resources."
"The product should improve support and provide more scalable clustering."
"There could be enhancements made to the DLP."
"This signature-based malware prevention method is a little out of date."
"The solution isn't quite accurate enough. It provides a lot of false positives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"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."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
Information not available

"There are licenses to use this solution and we are on a three-year license."
"The platform is expensive but worth it."
