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.

Centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use
Seqrite Endpoint Security protects individual machines, servers, and emails against malware, viruses, and spam attacks The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use. It allows you to patch your required reports. The solution provides central deployment, remote deployment,…
Ashutosh Jha - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Engineer at IT 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

"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"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."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The solution is stable."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"We can control the application usage of users from the endpoint because for users not under the firewall, particularly those working from home, we have good control and can implement policies and on-the-web control as well as the other file sharing applications."
"With the reseller management, I can manage multiple clients without having to log in to each client."
"We bought it because it was cost-effective."
"It's a stable product, and so far I haven't had any issues from an endpoint perspective with it blocking something that I'm trying to use or anything of that sort."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"The most valuable feature is the central administration and management."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos EPP Suite is the accounting and reporting services are good and professional. The business features of the solution are very useful, such as the reporting page for clients. It provides a clear understanding of usage, including how much traffic has been used and how much is remaining. Additionally, it's user-friendly and easy to understand. Overall, the solution is good, useful, and has a helpful user interface."
"Sophos EPP Suite's most valuable feature is ease of use."
 

Cons

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"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 MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"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."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"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."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The interface is slow."
"Pricing is a consideration for us; for the Indian market, it is slightly expensive."
"The technical support offered by Sophos is very poor."
"The update part is a bit tricky in the solution...The support is not that good."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team."
"The automation side of the setup is a pain. I have to run the installers manually."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
"The resource usage of the agent should be less intensive on the CPU and RAM."
"The product's filtering and stability can be better."
