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.

Experienced weak security checks and increased system load with limited control
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is not up to the mark compared to what I have seen from earlier products. I was using CrowdStrike, and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is not up to the mark compared to CrowdStrike and other products. Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response sometimes seems to allow certain files which should not be allowed on its own. I trust Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response to check the files, but I cannot sit and check all the files that are coming in. Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response has its own weaknesses. Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response slows the system slightly. It uses more resources than what CrowdStrike does. When any attack happens or something is happening with other products I am using, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response stops certain things. However, it does not take me to the file, and it is not user-friendly.

Can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively
Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools. Before, we struggled with setting policies and making changes to workstations. Now, we can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively. We monitor who's using various licenses like Office, CAD, Visio, and Lumion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"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."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"I have Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response firewall on my computer, which sits at the gate, so I manage maximum things through that."
"It downloads essential security patches that are valuable for my PC."
"One of the good features is the provider's Faulting capability. If any of our systems detect malware, we can check the behavior of the malware by sending it to Kaspersky's sandbox environment. This helps us assess how destructive the malware is. After analyzing it, we can create use cases and protection measures based on that behavior. So, this is the best feature of Kaspersky."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is its consolidated features."
"Regarding the machine learning capability in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response, it performs adequately when considering its improvement in detection accuracy and reduction of false positives."
"It is a secure solution with a lot of IT management features."
"The product is integrated with endpoint protection. We don't have to implement a separate technology. It provides visibility over the endpoints."
"The advanced detection features are valuable."
"Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools."
"Although it is, in fact, a complete vulnerability management solution, the most valuable feature is the patch management functionality. Most of our customers give preference to this tool over other tools when it comes to patch management."
 

Cons

"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response needs vast resources on the central node. Not all maintenance tasks are in the GUI, so we often use commands. The lack of documentation for these processes means we frequently reach out to support, open tickets, and run complex CLI commands. It's not the most straightforward process. It should also improve stability."
"Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time."
"First, it would be beneficial if they could optimize the solution to be less resource-intensive, as it currently tends to put a heavy load on our machines and requires specialized servers for deployment."
"Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security."
"There are certain shortcomings with the UI of the solution. The UI is not at all user-friendly."
"The product does not detect zero-day threats."
"Enhancing user-friendliness should be a priority."
"The main issue was compatibility with the cloud itself. The CPU usage immediately spiked, causing the machines to hang and sometimes even forcing server or computer restarts."
"SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform needs to incorporate more documentation."
"SanerNow has good integration with the more well known ITSM tools, but at the same time there are many other ITSM (IT Service Management) tools available in the market, including local tools here in India, and I'm not sure how SanerNow plans to integrate with them all out of the box."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"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."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"It is cost-effective in terms of services and features compared to other more expensive EDR solutions like CrowdStrike and Trend Micro."
"I would say that their pricing is generally competitive and attractive."
"I was satisfied with the pricing of Kaspersky."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"The pricing falls within the average range."
"The product is cheap."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"I rate the solution's pricing model a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable - we paid about 2.5 million for 3,500 nodes."
"As with several other solutions such as Microsoft MECM and SCCM, the licensing for SanerNow involves per-device pricing for each kind of product or service on offer."
