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.

Auto scanning and enhanced security but re-adding protections need improvement
At that time, we observed certain issues with the product. The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature. If we remove our protection, we cannot easily add it back. If, in our organization, we need to remove a specific system for a particular time, we cannot add it back for security after doing so. This is one thing we have experienced. Scalability is also lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong.

Endpoint protection has prevented attacks and keeps our daily work productive and secure
I rate Intercept X Endpoint a 10 out of 10 because it is working very fine for my environment and has prevented loss of productivity. I choose 10 out of 10 because Intercept X Endpoint protects my environment well, featuring web control, peripheral control, Threat Analysis Center, application control, and DLP alongside being accessible from cloud services. I advise others looking into using Intercept X Endpoint to choose Sophos for a cloud solution due to its AI and behavior-based detection capabilities. I believe Intercept X Endpoint is the best EDR solution, and I would always recommend it to customers because it is very effective. My overall review rating for Intercept X Endpoint is 10 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."
"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."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"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."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."
"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."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"I find the security heartbeat feature with synchronized security very useful. It's a very nice feature that allows you to basically switch off an endpoint. When an endpoint has got a virus or something like that, or it's infected or compromised, you can isolate it from the network, but only if you've got an XG Firewall as well. It also provides ease of use. It is the only antivirus that can recognize 25 out of the 36 ransomware and virus techniques that have been often used in terms of the behavior base using heuristics. It's beautiful, utterly amazing. No other antivirus can do that."
"The thing that I like about it is the synchronized security. You can tie endpoint protection and firewalls and a whole range of other services and products. You can get your servers taken in under this."
"The threat analysis center is nice."
"The most valuable features are the range and restriction."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"The solution is stable; from what I have witnessed, it doesn't crash or freeze and there are no bugs or glitches, and historically, the performance has been good and I have found it to be reliable."
"Its reporting, alerts, and configuration capabilities make it a formidable product."
"Overall, I would recommend this solution; it does its job as far as I'm aware."
 

Cons

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"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 technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"Limited remote connection."
"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"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."
"Scalability is lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong."
"The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"It would be better if it can automatically generate a report for each and every user so that the users get to know the things that shouldn't be accessed from their PCs. It can have information about malicious and non-malicious sites so users are aware of them, and they don't access malicious websites. Such reports can be generated at the end of the day. We should also be able to get through to their support team quickly. Currently, it takes more than half an hour to get through to a technical person."
"We had some initial problems with our deployment, and they were more around uninstalling Sophos Basic and installing Sophos Intercept X. We had some challenges with some of the uninstallation scripts. They can improve the deployment of Sophos Intercept X when there is already an existing Sophos version. They can also provide more information in the form of best practices and lessons learned from previous findings. A knowledge base with this type of information would be helpful."
"There is some issue with the reporting and refreshing information on resources that have been eliminated."
"Pricing is high."
"It's a bit heavy on the computers. So once you install it, the computer slows down. It is a resource-intensive solution."
"The first setup is not very straightforward and requires a lot of expertise."
"The one thing that I think probably needs the most attention with this product is the technical support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
Information not available
"Customers need to pay for a license for Intercept X Endpoint based on the number of users and servers they have. The pricing is considered normal and not overly expensive."

"Its price is reasonable."
"The solution is not expensive."
"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."
