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.

Continuous protection has improved automated threat response and reporting for our endpoints

We did work with one of our clients who required mobile security solutions. In my opinion, Trend Micro, when we went through the POCs and other components, we did not find it very strong as far as mobile security is concerned. I think Kaspersky is much better than Trend Micro when it comes to mobile security solutions. From an outside perspective, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum looks pretty strong and comprehensive. The main improvement would be if they could decrease the cost, as it would be great for clients since it is quite expensive now compared to when it used to be cheaper. The key competitor for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is Trend Micro. Trend Micro is the only competitor in the market right now. I would say both Trend Micro Endpoint Detection and Response and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum are quite similar; I cannot say that one is better than the other. The difference is mainly in cost; Trend Micro has mostly moved all their products to the cloud, offering no on-premises products now, whereas Kaspersky is still in a transition phase providing both on-premises and cloud solutions. Many clients prefer on-premises as it is less expensive compared to cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."

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

"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 scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."

"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 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."

"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."

"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"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."

"Their technical support is actually quite good."

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

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"The network discovery tools they have make deployment easier, and even without an Active Directory or an RMM tool, you can still deploy Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum quite easily compared to other solutions."

"It fulfills security and protection requirements against newly discovered malware, especially ransomware attacks."

"The initial setup was easy."

"Kaspersky EDR is constantly updated and can respond to any threat nearly in real-time. They work hard to produce all the updates on time."

"It offers features like system hardening, vulnerability management, patch management, and device control, which are not present in other solutions."

"The product's most valuable feature is the flexibility of installation with the console and a simple administration strategy."

"The most valuable features are checking the Kaspersky portal and integrating it with SIEM Elastic Stack and ELK Stack for log monitoring."

"The most advantageous aspect is tracking and taking action automatically."

More Kaspersky Next EDR Optimum pros

Cons

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."

"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."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

"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."

"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

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."

"The application should be made a bit lighter so that it does not slow down the PC."

"The technology grows day by day, so we need to check for updates and do the updates daily. Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is still improving over time and quality-wise, there are still things that need to be changed in the product, so that's why I rated it nine out of ten. Compatibility could also be improved in the product."

"The central management needs improvement. The ease of use for updating and managing through the web console is difficult and lacks features."

"Occasionally, I encounter connection problems, and the signal is not very good."

"I want the tool’s pricing to improve."

"We would like more data to be available from this solution, in order for it to be usable in strategic decision making."

"To increase the benefits of the product, Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service from Kaspersky should be included."

"We face challenges with the automated effective awareness platform program (ASAP), particularly with its implementation. It is difficult and not effective for us yet."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"The price was fine."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
