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.

Have maintained strong endpoint protection through behavioral analysis and daily monitoring
I previously mentioned that Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have built-in DLP, which was a concern. I think they could add it in the future; however, antivirus cannot provide a proper DLP solution, but they can offer a mix of DLP, similar to Trend Micro Apex One, which provides some sort of DLP file management. Nonetheless, we need a proper DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec, whichever suits us. We'll be conducting performance evaluation in the next quarter while working on other projects. More value means a better GUI, user interface, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. In Sophos, we receive a daily system-generated report about what is happening, plus an alert system. The reporting system in Trend Micro is also excellent; I receive an email every day at 10:00 AM with a report for the last 24 hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."
"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."
"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"As far as it functions, it works fine."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business's most valuable feature is the ease of management."
"The solution's most helpful features for threat detection are machine learning analytics and behavior analytics."
"One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"It integrates well across different operating systems, including mobile devices like Android and Mac. It effectively manages firewalls, particularly with Fortinet, enhancing overall security posture."
"They have a very good reporting system and they have a very good dashboard for the administrator, which makes monitoring everything easy."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has models that provide more security than other solutions"
 

Cons

"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."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"The solution seems incapable of stopping the proxy connection; the proxy server seems to be bypassing the antivirus."
"The solution is very draining on the computers at certain moments in its operation, excluding the scanning periods that make the computer unusable until finished. It is a balance between economic protection and client machine performance to our users."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"I would like the solution to be able to allow to have end to end security services from the final user to the server."
"There are times when Microsoft Windows's antivirus called Defender interferes with the functionality of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. There should be better integration with Windows."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"The product offers support only through mail and not on the phone."
"We have experienced problems with downloads and integration in the past."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"Very costly product."
"It has a yearly renewal."

In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"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 solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
