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.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

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

"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 solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

"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."

"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."

"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."

"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."

"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

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

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

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

"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."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"The most valuable feature of Sophos EPP Suite is that it works on very low configuration, which is actually the best feature because if we go for SecureRight, it requires a heavy configuration to work."

"You cannot choose a more complete Sophos EPP Suite, especially if you're looking for a secure environment."

"I never face any issues with stability with the Sophos EPP Suite."

"The most valuable feature Sophos EPP Suite is that it protects the computer beyond the premise, whether the user is at home, in the office, or traveling, and you are able to apply the policies as the user moves."

"The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall."

"The solution's setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time to complete."

"In terms of the Firewall, the EAP assist, the simple interface and the reporting features are quite good for clients. It's very easy to understand and to navigate the Dashboard."

"The rest of the Sophos product and the technology and utility of the suite is beautiful."

More Sophos Endpoint pros

Cons

"Managing the product should be easier."

"The price could be a little lower."

"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"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."

"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."

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

"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"The product's filtering and stability can be better."

"The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."

"The solution could be more stable."

"The only drawback is that it requires a little more system configuration."

"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."

"Sophos is lacking in the granularity of optimization, so having more control would be better."

"The solution is not easy to use in comparison to other endpoint security solutions."

"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."

More Sophos Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

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

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"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."
