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.

Long-term licensing has provided reliable lightweight protection for commercial customers and maintains strong performance without disrupting existing security tools

Kaspersky Total Security is a lightweight solution that does not slow down Windows. In many years of use for my customers, I have not had any broken software or other problems. Safe Money technology is available in the product, but I do not use it because my customers have other security solutions that intercept malware before Kaspersky on the firewall and networking firewall of LAN. I sell the various solutions of next generation, Optimum, and Advanced through MCP licensing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboard is customizable."

"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."

"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."

"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 by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."

"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."

"The solution's stability is generally good."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"I installed Kaspersky for protection if there is a virus on my computer"

"The solution is efficient."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

"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."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

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

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution’s email protection area should be improved."

"Kaspersky Total Security’s stability and performance need improvement."

"Anti-malware and anti-phishing policies in the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"Kaspersky Total Security should be easier to manage and improve user interaction. Resetting often requires some experience, which can be a problem for generic users. Web users also encounter some issues that should be improved."

"The system can be demanding on resources, making devices busy when running the client application. It would be beneficial if the resource usage could be reduced to lessen the burden on devices."

"The solution’s security could be improved."

"The authorization process could be faster."

"The stability of the solution could be improved because we had some issues with the solution on non-Windows laptops."

More Kaspersky Small Office Security cons

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

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

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

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

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

"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite 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."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Kaspersky Total Security is an expensive solution."

"We purchase the product’s yearly license."

"The solution's pricing is cheap and better than that of Sophos."

"We pay around $30 to $35 for the solution yearly."

"There is a need to renew the license on an annual basis."

"Users need to pay a licensing fee for the solution, which is neither cheap nor expensive."

"I like this solution due to its cost-free nature"

"The product is not expensive."
