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

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."
"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."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"The product's most valuable features are automation and central administration."
"The solution is pretty easy to use; it's easy to work with, even for beginners, and you don't need much help in order to understand how it works and how to manage it."
"It provides good security."
"Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned."
"In EDR, they have a sandbox feature. Kaspersky's threat detection and response capability is very good, making it a strong feature."
"The antivirus feature is very, very good."
"We use it at our enterprise, and it's been extremely beneficial."
"It's excellent at detecting viruses."
"Logging and reporting capabilities of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption help with compliance verification, and there are no issues."
"The solution is good overall. All of its features are good."
"We use encryption to secure data and devices, and in case you lose your device or your data, this is a major feature that covers everything through encryption."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software."
"The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment."
"It's a secure and quick solution."
"The interface is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is security."
 

Cons

"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."
"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"On the pricing aspect, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks needs to have a more reasonable rate, particularly for customers in Sri Lanka and Asian countries."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"There are times when Microsoft Windows's antivirus called Defender interferes with the functionality of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. There should be better integration with Windows."
"We have had some problems with it comes to uninstalling it, so you have to make sure that you do everything right."
"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of."
"The GUI mode in the product is an area with certain shortcomings since it looks old with the graphics provided by Kaspersky."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"They need to come up with cloud solutions."
"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."
"Should have more features of Deep Scanning"
"Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust."
"Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption currently lacks something similar to a firewall that can detect any vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Integration and support could be improved."
"I would like to improve the solution's support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel it is fairly priced."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"I am using the Community edition."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"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 solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"We pay a yearly annual subscription for this product."
"It's an affordable security solution."
"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
