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

"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."
"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"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."
"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."
"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."
"The solution installs very easily."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"Fast response time and protection are great; these are the main advantages."
"The product gives you a full picture of what's happening on your endpoint, on your PC, or your server."
"The AI and EDR features are the most effective for threat detection and security."
"Web filtering helps provide protection by allowing me to block unwanted and unauthorized websites from Sophos EPP Suite, which helps prevent unauthorized intrusion, thus keeping our organization servers secure."
"The performance and scalability are impressive. We can install it on various computers."
"The Sophos people here in South Africa are very helpful."
"The solution efficiently protects the servers for our customers."
"It is one of the good solutions that provides a single well-rounded protection for endpoints and internet security."
 

Cons

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"There are some false positives."
"The onboarding process could be better."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The customer support is a little slow and could be improved."
"They should consider giving the devices for free when they are charging for licensing."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team. It could be faster because I only got a response from the manager after a few days. If you open a case directly from the website, the response from the technical support agent may have been faster. I didn't open the request from the website, so that could be the reason why the response time took longer."
"The automation side of the setup is a pain. I have to run the installers manually."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
"The Sophos EPP Suite should work on key areas, especially in data management, specifically the data retention part. The data lake storage has certain limits."
"It would be ideal if the price could be lowered a little bit."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
Information not available
"I rate the price of Sophos EPP Suite a four out of five."
"It may be possible to negotiate licensing cost based on volume."

"Pricing could always be lower. It costs around $120 per seat per year."
"We are on an annual license to use the solution."
"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
"From my perspective, it is not the most expensive, it is aligned with the market."
"If you compare this to other solutions from a pricing perspective, the enterprise version of Sophos turns out to be cost-effective."
