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.

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

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 XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"The solution is stable."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The product gives you a full picture of what's happening on your endpoint, on your PC, or your server."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the detection capability, machine learning, ransomware protection, and live response."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solution's most valuable aspects, and it has the capability to detect and prevent attacks."
"The protection is so much better than before, when we did not use this solution."
 

Cons

"It is a complex solution to implement."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."
"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."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"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."
"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."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"Sophos EPP Suite's support services need improvement."
"It would be ideal if the price could be lowered a little bit."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"Pricing could be improved because it is a bit expensive."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team."
"The support could be improved. The response times are slow."
"The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."
"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The price was fine."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
