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

"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped us a lot with securing the whole environment and the whole IT structure, giving us full knowledge of what is happening on the client and enabling us to take action right away from a single point for managing security operations on the hosts."
"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The convenience has been great."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"Endpoint protection is stable, easy to use, and scalable from deployment, management, and reporting perspectives."
"The cloud management is great."
"Fast response time and protection are great; these are the main advantages."
"Sophos Endpoint security provides multiple layers of security, including web protection, application control, and also data loss prevention."
"The solution's most valuable aspect, for us, is the DLP portion of the product."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to centrally manage the total security environment, including the firewall."
"The product is stable and has a user-friendly dashboard. It has good security features."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solution's most valuable aspects, and it has the capability to detect and prevent attacks."
 

Cons

"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"The GUI could be improved."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"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."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The interface is slow."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"I have cut one point because it has no solution for on-premises. Additionally, it has no solution for any Linux-based system endpoints."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"Lacks delegated administration privileges for large organizations, and differential permissions for admins."
"Sophos EPP Suite's support services need improvement."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
"With Sophos EPP Suite, inventory cannot be checked, and external applications cannot be installed."
"Sophos EPP Suite could improve the way it can be installed. They used to have one installer and now they have two, one for the server and one for the client. I don't know the difference, it brings confusion."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"This is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"The pricing is reasonable."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"If you compare this to other solutions from a pricing perspective, the enterprise version of Sophos turns out to be cost-effective."
"Pricing and licensing are good and affordable."
"Sophos EPP Suite is a competitive and affordable solution."
"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
