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

"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"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."
"The best features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum are its precision and accuracy in detecting malware."
"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."
"EDR Optimum's best features are its dashboard, control of external media, and user-friendliness."
"It fulfills security and protection requirements against newly discovered malware, especially ransomware attacks."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is effective, especially in isolating computers from the network when needed."
"The encryption feature that allows you complete control of your device is what I found most valuable in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"The convenience has been great."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
 

Cons

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"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."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"Support is an area for improvement. It should have faster response times."
"I want the tool’s pricing to improve."
"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."
"Occasionally, I encounter connection problems, and the signal is not very good."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult."
"For improvement, they should make the scanning process faster. The scanning and updating take more time."
"The solution needs to give more control to users on firewalls."
"I rate the technical support between seven and eight out of ten for Kaspersky."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"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."
"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 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 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."
"The price is good, not too high."
"The solution could be made a bit cheaper."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It cost approximately €10,000 annually."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"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."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"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."
