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.

Continuous protection has improved automated threat response and reporting for our endpoints
We did work with one of our clients who required mobile security solutions. In my opinion, Trend Micro, when we went through the POCs and other components, we did not find it very strong as far as mobile security is concerned. I think Kaspersky is much better than Trend Micro when it comes to mobile security solutions. From an outside perspective, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum looks pretty strong and comprehensive. The main improvement would be if they could decrease the cost, as it would be great for clients since it is quite expensive now compared to when it used to be cheaper. The key competitor for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is Trend Micro. Trend Micro is the only competitor in the market right now. I would say both Trend Micro Endpoint Detection and Response and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum are quite similar; I cannot say that one is better than the other. The difference is mainly in cost; Trend Micro has mostly moved all their products to the cloud, offering no on-premises products now, whereas Kaspersky is still in a transition phase providing both on-premises and cloud solutions. Many clients prefer on-premises as it is less expensive compared to cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."
"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 product has an intuitive dashboard."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"The most advantageous aspect is tracking and taking action automatically."
"I would rate Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum a perfect 10 out of 10."
"Kaspersky EDR is constantly updated and can respond to any threat nearly in real-time. They work hard to produce all the updates on time."
"They provide integrated protections and prevention with multi-layered anti-malware, which makes clients want to go for it."
"The performance is good."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is effective, especially in isolating computers from the network when needed."
"The product's most valuable feature is the flexibility of installation with the console and a simple administration strategy."
"The solution is very user friendly, which we appreciate."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The convenience has been great."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
 

Cons

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"Product might have some bugs."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"Limited remote connection."
"The solution needs to give more control to users on firewalls."
"To increase the benefits of the product, Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service from Kaspersky should be included."
"The support of Kaspersky rates a five out of ten. The response time is not very fast, and many times the answers are not very precise."
"Occasionally, I encounter connection problems, and the signal is not very good."
"EDR Optimum's scalability could be improved."
"In terms of the Pakistani market and talking from a salesperson's perspective, I'd suggest that Kaspersky introduce a bundle of Kaspersky EDR-Optimum or Kaspersky EDR-Expert along with its Business Select/Advance suite."
"From an outside perspective, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum looks pretty strong and comprehensive. The main improvement would be if they could decrease the cost, as it would be great for clients since it is quite expensive now compared to when it used to be cheaper."
"The central management needs improvement. The ease of use for updating and managing through the web console is difficult and lacks features."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The interface is slow."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The tool’s pricing is yearly. The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"Kaspersky gives a consolidated price with a good solution. If we choose something else, we need to add other options on our own."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is more affordable than the endpoint security product of Fortinet. Whether it's worth the money depends on your security strategy."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is affordability, even for companies with limited budgets, such as those in the Pakistani market. It is a subscription-based license."
"The price is good, not too high."
"The solution could be made a bit cheaper."
"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten. You need to pay about 80,000 rupees yearly for the tool. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It cost approximately €10,000 annually."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The license isn't expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
