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 tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"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."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"The solution installs very easily."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the detection capability, machine learning, ransomware protection, and live response."
"I never face any issues with stability with the Sophos EPP Suite."
"Sophos EPP Suite's best feature is that the endpoints and firewalls remain synced."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."
"Endpoint protection is stable, easy to use, and scalable from deployment, management, and reporting perspectives."
"The setup is very easy, which takes around twenty minutes to set up the cloud setup and the licensing portal."
"The protection is so much better than before, when we did not use this solution."
 

Cons

"There's an overall lack of features."
"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."
"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."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The product's filtering and stability can be better."
"In the future, I would like to see better third-party integration so that it can work in conjunction with our ticket system."
"There could be an equipment inventory feature for the solution."
"I am pretty much sure Sophos does not have this kind of policy available."
"The only drawback is that it requires a little more system configuration."
"In my country, having an on-premises deployment model is preferred. In this part of the world, on-premises is still the way many companies want to go. Therefore, they should supply some sort of option that allows for that reality."
"Technical support could be improved - quicker and better. Support is the bad side of Sophos."
"The solution is not easy to use in comparison to other endpoint security solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"I am using the Community edition."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"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."
Information not available
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Willing to discount when you are switching from another product. Upgrading services will end up costing more, as expected."
"From my perspective, it is not the most expensive, it is aligned with the market."
"Sophos EPP Suite is a competitive and affordable solution."
"Pricing and licensing are good and affordable."
"The license cost for Sophos EPP Suite depends on the features you want to use. For example, if you want to use advanced features, such as web application firewalling, the cost may be higher. In general, I believe the licensing cost is reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The tool’s price is the same as its competitors."
