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.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

"Overall, I would rate Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum an eight out of ten."

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

"The product is lightweight and does not slow down the PC. The malware and virus detection rate is also very good."

"I mostly like how they capture particular files and submit them to other files, and they have the solution console. And for example, we are using the one in for an application, like, on the RansomFree, if there are any vulnerabilities in patches coming, in the future, they fix these."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"There are some false positives."

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."

"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Scalability depends on various factors."

"We face challenges with the automated effective awareness platform program (ASAP), particularly with its implementation. It is difficult and not effective for us yet."

"Support is an area for improvement. It should have faster response times."

"The application should be made a bit lighter so that it does not slow down the PC."

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

More Kaspersky Next EDR Optimum cons

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

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

"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."

"The interface is slow."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

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

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

"Very costly product."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is totally reasonable."

"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."
