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

"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."

"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"There has been a return on investment for our small and medium business users."

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

"Kaspersky Total Security is a lightweight solution that does not slow down Windows, and in many years of use for my customers, I have not had any broken software or other problems."

"The software is easy to install."

"It automatically identifies potential threats in emails, websites, and documents, swiftly blocking or quarantining anything harmful to prevent any damage or infection to my system."

"The solution has a lot of features like IDS and IPS detection system, antispam, and firewall."

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

"Kaspersky Total Security is a light agent."

More Kaspersky Small Office Security pros

"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."

"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do."

"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Kaspersky has to improve its response when there is an incident. They need to respond faster."

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

"Kaspersky Total Security's configuration part is complex."

"Enhancing the encryption code, particularly in relation to ransomware would be a great addition for future use."

"The authorization process could be faster."

"The stability could be improved."

"The solution’s stability could be improved"

"Its interface needs to be more user-friendly."

More Kaspersky Small Office Security cons

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

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

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"This is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"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 don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

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

"The product is not expensive."

"Kaspersky Total Security is a cheap solution."

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

"Kaspersky Total Security is not an expensive solution."

More Kaspersky Small Office Security pricing and cost advice

"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"The license isn't expensive."
