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

"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."
"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."
"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"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."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"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."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
 

Cons

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"This is a very costly product."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"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."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"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 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."
"The response time could be enhanced."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"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 product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The price was fine."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"I am using the Community edition."
"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."
"The price is below average."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
