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.

A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app

I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.

Has struggled to detect major threats but has offered basic protection over time

Intercept X Endpoint could learn from CrowdStrike in terms of overall performance and filtering because performance is most important, especially these days as Windows is getting buggier and buggier, which puts a huge load on the PC, and even with the most advanced CPUs and everything in place, it still lags in performance in so many places, thanks to Windows' clumsy design of these collaboration suites that make it extremely heavy on PC's resources. The interface of Intercept X Endpoint is quite old-fashioned. The Sophos interfaces, including for Intercept X Endpoint, are quite bad actually; to be very honest, even in UTM boxes, they are not great at all. You can hardly see a very small portion of windows while it's creating the firewall rules, and we have been complaining about this for quite some time, but there hasn't been any improvement on those grounds. Intercept X Endpoint's anti-ransomware capabilities failed us during a bad attack, and just because of our own backup policies, we could restore our normal operations; otherwise, if we had to depend on this solution, we would have been long dead because the infection was so bad, it couldn't even detect the infection. Intercept X Endpoint cannot handle zero-day attacks; in my experience, last year, we had this major issue with a malware attack, and it happened just because of our backup policies that we were able to recover without any support from Sophos, which just told us they would charge us some 1 Crore in rupees. Intercept X Endpoint should improve their implementation; things will never be perfect for the new world. This new world is always facing new kinds of attacks and new ways to compromise the system. They need to learn fast, implement fast, and sometimes redesigning the solution is the solution—not just patchwork. There was a time we used to love Sophos because of its fresh design and innovative thought. In my experience, when technical companies are led by MBA professionals, they lose their shine on the technical part and become more dependent on target sales; it turns into a marketing-centric operation that loses the technical focus completely.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."

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

"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."

"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."

"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

"The stability of this product is very good."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Their technical support is actually quite good."

"The resetting option and creating a password is a very useful on-the-go feature, which gives a user a good experience, obviously a hassle-free experience."

"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"We have been a client of Sophos for close to nine or ten years, and we have not been compromised with ransomware or anything like that during this period."

"My advice for anybody who is looking into implementing this product is that it is easy to implement, quick to deploy, and has a lot of tools to detect malicious behavior."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"In my opinion, no other OEM can defeat the price range of Sophos EDR."

"Intercept X Endpoint is the only endpoint security product I know that provides content filtering and application controls."

"It's a complete antivirus solution that has everything in it."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Since it's cloud-managed, the solution is easy to administer, especially if the person using it is in a different geophysical location."

More Intercept X Endpoint pros

Cons

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

"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."

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."

"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."

"I am not very satisfied with the product's reporting overall, and it needs improvement in this area."

"There is some issue with the reporting and refreshing information on resources that have been eliminated."

"I would like the solution to have more functions and to be more user-friendly."

"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."

"The majority of our systems are MacBooks and their solution release cycle is slow to endorsing or support the MacBook's latest OS or hardware platform. For example, when Sophos macOS Big Sur version 11 was released, it took them a while to support this version of OS. A similar situation occurred when the MacBook M1 hardware CPU was released. They have not fully supported the native M1 CPU to this day. They need to speed up the solutions release cycle."

"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."

"Intercept X Endpoint is a very heavy solution that consumes a lot of RAM and should be made lighter."

"Pricing is high."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

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

"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."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"Very costly product."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."

"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."

"It was fairly and reasonably priced."

"You are able to purchase more licenses for the number of devices or servers that you require. There are many other features available but our license does not include them, such as XDR, which is endpoint detection and response. We have not explored the new features as of yet but plan to in the coming future."

"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."

"There is a yearly payment to be made. For each client, it costs around 15 dollars. There are no additional costs besides the licensing price we pay to use the solution."

"Its price depends on the scenario. It is very expensive, but it is not more expensive than other vendors. The price of Check Point and other vendors is much higher than Sophos."

"The solution’s pricing is high."

"I have found the price of Sophos Intercept X to be reasonable."

"The product is moderately priced."
