ABHISHEK_SINGH - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.
Sukkanta Banerjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Cyber Security Manager at Greater Cairo Water Company (GCWC)
Centralized endpoint control has strengthened defense in depth across our distributed branches
When considering features or capabilities of Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations that I have found most valuable, it appears similar to other vendors, and I don't find a unique feature in it as it looks comparable to any other EDR solution. However, we purchased it because we have had Kaspersky Endpoint for 10 years, so it has fantastic integration between EDR and the endpoint. Additionally, Kaspersky is one of the famous leaders in endpoint protection in the world. The centralized management console of Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations has helped me streamline my security protocols significantly. This helps me a great deal because we are a large enterprise and we need centralization. It simplifies operations for us. We have many branches around Cairo, which is the capital of Egypt, and because we need centralization, we cannot perform our tasks without it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats, as we are able to see the files, unwanted files, unsecured files, and unauthorized files, so we are quarantining them."
"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."
"Palo Alto Networks Traps improves our security posture and lowers risk by providing next-gen methods to combat against modern threats on all the major platforms."
"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"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 solution is very easy to set up."
"Their technical support is actually quite good."
"I find the EDR service valuable as it adds extra protection and provides a centralized view."
"The standout features of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud include its cloud-based console and the simplicity of managing endpoints."
"The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature."
"Kaspersky has a Cloud Discovery feature. There is no template in Kaspersky. They provide a temporary risk assessment of the cloud services. For example, if we want to block public storage services like OneDrive or Google Drive, we need to specify each individually. The main difference is that Kaspersky's process takes more time because it requires individual input."
"The platform's ability to update the database from my device and manage user profiles is quite effective."
"The AI-driven threat intelligence has helped my threat management significantly, as it helps me catch many threats."
"It is a powerful tool for zero-day attack prevention."
"In terms of software performance, it has been effective in providing good security."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"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."
"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"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."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"While the product provides a good level of protection, we need better support, especially in terms of being kept informed about new threats and specific configurations needed."
"Recent upgrades have occurred, but some customers question why certain options are disabled."
"Kaspersky's global ranking has been on the decline."
"Its high CPU usage also slows down devices, particularly those with lower specifications like Core i3."
"The solution’s stability could be improved because we earlier faced an issue where the solution was not detecting file-less malware."
"The tool's update management can be better. In future releases, the addition of a DLP module would be valuable."
"Recently, there was a company which was attacked by phishing emails, and out of 10, it was only blocking three emails."
"Sometimes, the tool consumes a lot of resources from the endpoints, making it an area of concern where improvements are required since it currently consumes a little bit of RAM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"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."
"The product is averagely priced."
"The solution is moderately priced and cannot be considered an expensive or cheap tool."
"The platform is expensive."
"We had to pay an annual licensing fee for KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a cost-effective solution."
"I find Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud more accessible in terms of pricing."
"The product’s price is flexible."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
