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.

Have maintained strong endpoint protection through behavioral analysis and daily monitoring
I previously mentioned that Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have built-in DLP, which was a concern. I think they could add it in the future; however, antivirus cannot provide a proper DLP solution, but they can offer a mix of DLP, similar to Trend Micro Apex One, which provides some sort of DLP file management. Nonetheless, we need a proper DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec, whichever suits us. We'll be conducting performance evaluation in the next quarter while working on other projects. More value means a better GUI, user interface, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. In Sophos, we receive a daily system-generated report about what is happening, plus an alert system. The reporting system in Trend Micro is also excellent; I receive an email every day at 10:00 AM with a report for the last 24 hours.

Centralized encryption management has strengthened compliance and protects sensitive data daily
When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working. There could be improvements specifically about the scanning part and policy part where we have to deploy what we actually require. I would like to see features that include collaboration of all alerts and applied analytics so we can immediately identify issues. Analytics can provide immediate reporting before issues spread, as sometimes one issue captured at the site level can spread to high-level operations. If identified and communicated to the team immediately, it could prevent issues. Usually, downloading and reviewing the report takes too much time, and many engineers skip it due to the volume of tasks. However, analytics could generate alerts and ticketing if integrated with the EMS application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"I can highlight that we have not faced any security incidents with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and even though our environment is quite dynamic, we have not faced any security incident with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks until now."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"The correlation with the firewall and the creation of policies by areas have facilitated security management in my company by allowing me to create more fine-tuned policies that take into account multiple aspects of the operation, multiple effects, multiple sources, and multiple destinations."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"With Kaspersky in place, we haven't faced any problems with viruses, ransomware, or anything like that."
"The solution is scalable, we have 500 users using this solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The interface is friendly."
"The solution offers many useful features and there is excellent integration with the app directory."
"The most valuable features include the ability to upgrade and update all users from one console and to install the solution remotely."
"This solution is stable."
"The disk encryption is great."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software."
"We're very satisfied with Trend Micro support."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the antivirus part it offers."
"One valuable feature is full disk encryption."
"Fast encryption feature."
"The most valuable feature is the support for email."
 

Cons

"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"The deployment could be better. Recently when I try to deploy it I received a large number of failures."
"The solution could improve by providing a cloud service that synchronizes with the on-premise console which would give better connectivity in remote areas."
"The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage."
"It would be preferable if the product were more proactive and more modern in its approach to security and protection."
"The stability could be better."
"The performance could be better. We would like to see improved performance and faster deployment in the next release."
"I have some PCs with one gigabyte of RAM, and it's not easy to set up Kaspersky on these."
"We would like to see a wider, better dashboard for the purposes of monitoring the users of the Trend Micro software."
"I would like to see more integration. Good cloud-based solutions need to be arrayed. I'd like to see better integration with administrative tools as well as Active Directory integration."
"It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring."
"In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The user interface is a little challenging, especially for beginners. It's hard for new users to understand how to configure the correct access for each company function."
"It is not easy to integrate with third party solutions."
"I have been infected with ransomware that Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption should catch, and if we get infected it must be learning for it to know it is malware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"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."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"There is a license required for this solution and we have 1,800 licenses. The cost is a bit high and we are looking for an alternative."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It is less costly compared to competitors."
"We purchase the product's yearly license. I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
