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.

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 information the dashboard provides is very clear."

"The biggest positive impact I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a significant reduction in the number of people required to manage it."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."

"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"The convenience has been great."

"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."

"The update process and policy control are good."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"The solution efficiently protects the servers for our customers."

"I never face any issues with stability with the Sophos EPP Suite."

"The most valuable feature is the central administration and management."

"Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos."

"The solution's setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time to complete."

"Provides good control and can implement policies and on-the-web control."

"It's a stable product, and so far I haven't had any issues from an endpoint perspective with it blocking something that I'm trying to use or anything of that sort."

"It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."

More Sophos Endpoint pros

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."

"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."

"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."

"The support could be improved. The response times are slow."

"The update part is a bit tricky in the solution...The support is not that good."

"With Sophos EPP Suite, inventory cannot be checked, and external applications cannot be installed."

"Deployment and central management need to be improved."

"I have cut one point because it has no solution for on-premises. Additionally, it has no solution for any Linux-based system endpoints."

"At this point, I wouldn't recommend the solution to others."

"Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources."

More Sophos Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"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."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"I am using the Community edition."

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."

"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"The license isn't expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pricing and cost advice
