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.

Centralized protection has improved malware defense and simplifies on‑premises deployment
What I like in Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business is that I tried the deployment on only the endpoint with no EDR, and it is easy to use. Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business's anti-malware feature has a positive effect. Centralized security management in Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business is good, but many errors appear in the software management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."
"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"The deployment and implementation of Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business are easy to deploy with no difficulties."
"Kaspersky offers a large number of robust default policies, such as USB blockage. I really like this feature."
"Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business provides central management for protection of devices, mitigating attacks effectively."
"A good aspect of Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business is that you can deploy it from the server to the end users, and you are able to manage and monitor each and every endpoint, including how it behaves and what things are coming in through a certain endpoint."
"I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Webroot pioneered integration of novel concepts in endpoint protection."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Low performance requirements."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"This is a great solution - it helped us a lot without business and improved the security we're offering to our customers."
 

Cons

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"Product might have some bugs."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"The deployment process could be clarified, specifically around the ability to push the security application to clients from the central servers, as we faced issues with this."
"What could be improved about Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business is that many errors appear on the console software, and sometimes I do not know why these errors appear on the console software."
"It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues."
"One significant difference is the lack of on-site support from Kaspersky. Symantec has a local team in Pakistan with representatives I can contact directly for troubleshooting and support. On the other hand, Kaspersky doesn't provide the same level of local resources. If I have an issue, I need to draft an email and send it to a Kaspersky help center."
"The response time could be enhanced."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"Webroot used to be really good when they first came out, but now they've completely fallen behind, sadly."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."
"Tech support needs to be improved. If we have an issue, and we don't have an issue very often, trying to get support's attention is a really difficult endeavor."
"Areas for improvement would be the reporting system in the admin console."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"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 feel it is fairly priced."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The price is below average."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"It is relatively cheap."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
