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

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."

"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."

"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."

"The biggest positive impact I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a significant reduction in the number of people required to manage it."

"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."

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."

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

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

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

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

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

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

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"The AI and EDR features are the most effective for threat detection and security."

"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 setup is very easy, which takes around twenty minutes to set up the cloud setup and the licensing portal."

"The solution is useful for security purposes."

"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."

"Overall, I would say that it is a good endpoint solution."

"We were concerned about the threat posed by malware. The product's effectiveness in addressing this threat and capturing it within the network has been quite helpful."

"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."

More Sophos Endpoint pros

Cons

"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."

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

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

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

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"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."

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"The solution could be more stable."

"The solution could improve in configuration and the central logging and dashboard."

"Configuring notifications is lagging a bit behind the curve as the product should be able to direct exactly where any notification type is sent."

"The solution needs to perform better or update its anti-ransomware and anti-malware engines to keep up with the latest hacking techniques."

"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."

"I would like to have more logging features to help more deeply analyze traffic."

"Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources."

"I have cut one point because it has no solution for on-premises. Additionally, it has no solution for any Linux-based system endpoints."

More Sophos Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
