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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing
The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Endpoint protection has strengthened malware defense and simplifies web and peripheral control
I would give Sophos Endpoint a rating of nine out of ten because it is working very well. I have cut one point because it has no solution for on-premises. Additionally, it has no solution for any Linux-based system endpoints. I have to install the server protection on Linux machines, which is why I am cutting one point for Sophos Endpoint. Sophos Endpoint should include the Linux endpoint agent and should provide a solution for Linux endpoints as well, because the server license is costly and nobody wants to use the server license on an endpoint machine. Sophos Endpoint should have a Linux endpoint independent agent as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."
"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."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"Everything is organized straightforwardly; all the incidents are clearly described and everything you need is essentially in one menu and one UI interface, which is quite beneficial for me and also for the customer."
"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"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."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Our experience with Sophos has been notable; it's database-driven and efficiently integrates to inspect and protect us against biases, malware, and attacks."
"The central management console is valuable, as it consolidates everything into one place, allowing users to access logs and events without visiting multiple websites or consoles."
"The product’s ease of deployment is its best feature."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solution's most valuable aspects, and it has the capability to detect and prevent attacks."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"It was successful in preventing malware distribution."
 

Cons

"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"At this point, I wouldn't recommend the solution to others."
"There could be an equipment inventory feature for the solution."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The solution is not easy to use in comparison to other endpoint security solutions."
"The Sophos EPP Suite should work on key areas, especially in data management, specifically the data retention part. The data lake storage has certain limits."
"I would like to have the capability to support legacy operating systems because the majority now don't support Windows XP, and Windows 2000."
"The solution could be improved in terms of the performance of the appliances. Sometimes the appliances in the market can be quite large. Additionally, in comparison to other appliances, such as FortiGate, Cisco Firepower, or ASA, it could be improved in terms of package processing or traffic handling."
"Pricing could be improved because it is a bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"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."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
Information not available
"Price-wise, it is cheap. We need to pay 1,500 to 2,000 INR per user...On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"Pricing and licensing are good and affordable."
"The solution for an enterprise license costs around 13 million Philippine pesos."
"Willing to discount when you are switching from another product. Upgrading services will end up costing more, as expected."

"The product is inexpensive, and we receive good discount offers from our product partners."
