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.

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"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."

"What we like most about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is its prompt response. 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."

"The solution's most valuable features are the advanced detection and anti-theft features."

"Kaspersky's technical support is one of the best I've encountered."

"The most valuable features are checking the Kaspersky portal and integrating it with SIEM Elastic Stack and ELK Stack for log monitoring."

"Kaspersky EDR is constantly updated and can respond to any threat nearly in real-time."

"EDR Optimum's best features are its dashboard, control of external media, and user-friendliness."

"The encryption feature that allows you complete control of your device is what I found most valuable in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum."

More Kaspersky Next EDR Optimum pros

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The convenience has been great."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool."

"In general, the price could be more competitive."

"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."

"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Occasionally, I encounter connection problems, and the signal is not very good."

"The central management needs improvement. The ease of use for updating and managing through the web console is difficult and lacks features."

"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."

"The technology grows day by day, so we need to check for updates and do the updates daily. Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is still improving over time and quality-wise, there are still things that need to be changed in the product, so that's why I rated it nine out of ten. Compatibility could also be improved in the product."

"Occasionally, I encounter connection problems, and the signal is not very good."

"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 initial setup is a bit difficult."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is still improving over time and quality-wise, there are still things that need to be changed in the product, so that's why I rated it nine out of ten."

More Kaspersky Next EDR Optimum cons

"User management could be improved."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"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."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"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."

"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."

"This is an expensive solution."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"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."

"The price of the solution is reasonable. It cost approximately €10,000 annually."

"The price is good, not too high."

"The tool’s pricing is yearly. The solution’s pricing is expensive."

"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."

"Kaspersky gives a consolidated price with a good solution. If we choose something else, we need to add other options on our own."

"The pricing is totally reasonable."

"The license isn't expensive."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."

"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."

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"It is a cheaply priced product."
