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

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface."
"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"The network discovery tools they have make deployment easier, and even without an Active Directory or an RMM tool, you can still deploy Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum quite easily compared to other solutions."
"Overall, I would rate Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum an eight out of ten."
"What we like most about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is its prompt response, and we also like that it does scans on a daily basis over every laptop or machine we set it for, and it also generates the report daily."
"I would rate Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum a perfect 10 out of 10."
"The best features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum are its precision and accuracy in detecting malware."
"One of the most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is its cloud console allows users to remotely isolate a single computer from a network in the event of an attack, enabling them to perform root cause analysis without disrupting the entire network. This is particularly useful for organizations that may not have expert resources for endpoint detection and response."
"The product's most valuable feature is the flexibility of installation with the console and a simple administration strategy."
"The most advantageous aspect is tracking and taking action automatically."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
 

Cons

"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."
"The onboarding process could be better."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"The application should be made a bit lighter so that it does not slow down the PC."
"The solution can improve the uninstallation process. The removal of the agent can be difficult. The purpose is for security, but it requires a lot of time and sometimes a special tool."
"I want Kaspersky to extend its products to internet protection."
"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."
"Unfortunately, Kaspersky UI is something they need to work upon. It's not as simplistic or user-friendly as other competing products such as Sophos or Check Point."
"We would like more data to be available from this solution, in order for it to be usable in strategic decision making."
"The central management needs improvement. The ease of use for updating and managing through the web console is difficult and lacks features."
"The solution needs to give more control to users on firewalls."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."
