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.

Provides strong threat detection and response through behavior analytics and network isolation

I have found the most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert to be its ability to tackle the biggest challenges customers face when they have to mitigate any kind of a malware, ransomware attack, or online theft scenarios. The solution utilizes its HIPS, which is the host intrusion prevention system, behavior analytics system, and device control mechanism, making the antivirus capabilities of EDR quite strong. It is able to detect zero-day threats as well as historical or legacy malware, providing protection against current threats in the market and legacy malware. My opinion on the advanced threat detection algorithms in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is that the ATP functionality is quite strong because it utilizes the behavioral analytics engine in the backend, which employs machine learning mechanisms to identify any kind of vulnerability or exploit running on the operating system level and the network level. If an attack is about to happen on the endpoint, it is able to protect over the network as well and checks for any illegitimate encryption activities. The machine learning capability within Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert has contributed to improving detection accuracy and reducing false positives in my environment by helping me identify malicious activity and differentiate between any malicious activity on the operating system level and on the network level. I have seen customers with in-house developed applications that have no public signatures available. Once I whitelist a particular application, it intelligently whitelists not only the executable but also all the dependent services required to run that application. Furthermore, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert has successfully blocked network-level attacks on the endpoint. For example, during a recent DoS attack aimed at choking the entire network, Kaspersky detected the attack, isolated the device in a sandbox network, and alerted my SOC team via email for corrective action, thereby proactively helping me detect and protect devices from malicious attacks.

Centralized policies have improved remote endpoint control and have simplified data visibility

The integration is not simple and easy. It requires experienced users or people who have done the implementation. When certain policies are applied, they do not immediately push the policies. For example, we manage endpoint device USB access. We set a policy to block it, but it does not come into effect immediately. Sometimes it takes three or four days for it to reflect. That is a pain point. I have raised this issue with support as well, but they said that I need to limit the number of devices in the policy. In terms of application deployment, for us, it was seamless.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."

"It's scalable enough for us."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert provides excellent visibility into endpoint activities by giving a comprehensive log that includes all software and hardware inventory of the endpoint, shows the real-time processes running in memory, and also provides visibility on detected threats and the actions taken against them."

"We previously used Sophos, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Defender, and the most important reason we transitioned to Kaspersky is the agent that is installed in the endpoints on the cash machine, as the Kaspersky agent is really soft while with the others we noticed that their agents would stop, so that made a big difference."

"EDR's most valuable feature is its basic protection from malware and viruses."

"We can scale the solution."

"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."

"We primarily use this solution for users, servers, and services that we have implemented in our company."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert pros

"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."

"Tanium is used for endpoint management, specifically patching and configuration management."

"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."

"Tanium is highly scalable."

"The security features are very valuable."

"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."

"The solution's technical support is very responsive."

"Tanium’s best features include support for any Windows, Linux, or Mac endpoint, regardless of where it is, and the ability to do IT operations and security operations."

More Tanium pros

Cons

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications."

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."

"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."

"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."

"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."

"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."

"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 tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."

"Device control is lacking in EDR."

"I could be covering more devices, for example, the XDR. If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."

"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."

"It's not a simple implementation."

"There's room for improvement in customer service and support. The response time when I open a ticket or communicate with the vendor could be faster."

"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."

"The user interface of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert could be more intuitive, and I would appreciate more flexibility or optimization in certain aspects."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert cons

"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."

"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."

"They could improve the UI."

"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."

"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."

"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."

"There are downsides and drawbacks in Tanium, and there is room for improvement from my perspective."

"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."

More Tanium cons
