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.

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

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."
"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."
"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"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."
"In terms of software performance, it has been effective in providing good security."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a very good solution for endpoint protection."
"The product works perfectly to prevent malware in our organization."
"I find the EDR service valuable as it adds extra protection and provides a centralized view."
"The AI-driven threat intelligence has helped my threat management significantly, as it helps me catch many threats."
"The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature."
"The standout features of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud include its cloud-based console and the simplicity of managing endpoints."
"All features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud are perfect, and I am interested in working with Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud."
 

Cons

"It'll help if customization was easier."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"Limited remote connection."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"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 solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"Recent upgrades have occurred, but some customers question why certain options are disabled."
"Its high CPU usage also slows down devices, particularly those with lower specifications like Core i3."
"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."
"Kaspersky's global ranking has been on the decline."
"One area where the product could be improved is in its delivery and installation process."
"The tool's update management can be better. In future releases, the addition of a DLP module would be valuable."
"Kaspersky doesn't provide local support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."
