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.

Centralized protection has secured global endpoints and simplifies daily threat response
I have noticed pain points around installation. Whenever I want to install on devices that are Windows, it is usually a lot of hassle because it is very easy to install on a MacBook. However, when a user is using Windows, installing Sophos Central on Windows is usually a serious undertaking. I think they can improve on that. Additionally, the installation takes a really long time for Sophos Central. While that might be fine if it is doing its job, for Windows it is really quite a lot when you are installing for a particular person. Regarding needed improvements, I would suggest something. Zoho has this ManageEngine feature where users can actually turn off a device from the administrator end. I think if Sophos Central could integrate that in their system, whereby when there is a high alert, I as an IT administrator can easily go there and click on something to turn off the user's work device, I think that would be something I would love to have. That is a feature I would appreciate. I believe if Sophos Central could have something like remote desktop access, similar to Zoho ManageEngine, where when a particular device is attacked, you can toggle off the device from your end or maybe access the device remotely and render it non-functional, that is something I would appreciate seeing on Sophos Central in the future.

Centralized content governance has accelerated multi-channel publishing and empowered business teams
I wanted to highlight that Webiny Enterprise CMS Plus could be improved further by expanding its enterprise-grade analytics and reporting, providing more out-of-the-box integrations with commonly used enterprise platforms, and simplifying some advanced configuration and administration workflows. Enhanced documentation, migration guidance, and more pre-built templates for large-scale implementations would also help teams adopt the platform faster and reduce the learning curve. Another area for improvement would be making enterprise administration and governance even more intuitive, particularly for organizations with large teams and complex permission structures. More advanced workflow automation, stronger monitoring and observability capabilities, and additional AI-assisted content management features would further improve productivity. A broader ecosystem of integrations and clearer best practice guidance for enterprise-scale deployments would also make adoption easier. One additional area would be improving the overall enterprise user experience. A more intuitive administration dashboard, better deployment and migration tooling, and stronger monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities would make it easier to manage large-scale environments. It would also be valuable to have more detailed cost and usage visibility, stronger documentation for advanced enterprise scenarios, and more pre-built integrations with common enterprise identity, data, and workflow platforms.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of this product is very good."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."
"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."
"The tool is easy to use."
"It is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it protects my IT infrastructure from attacks."
"Sophos Central provides reports on downloads. It alerts the admin when users use their personal computers. The product is also flexible."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is seamless integration with other Sophos products, including Sophos Firewall, Sophos AV, and their Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service."
"It is highly effective because it operates in real-time, swiftly detecting malware and viruses on both endpoints and firewalls."
"For Sophos Central, basically everything we need is all in one place."
"It is very useful to deploy policies centrally and monitor the status of our appliances, especially given that we are the main branches. With Sophos Central, you can centrally manage and deploy security policies and updates, saving time and eliminating the need for the technical team to travel to each branch individually."
"It is easy to manage and configure."
"Having a dashboard where you can actually see every possible attack, threat, attempt, or malware attempt on the devices of your team members basically solves your security issue."
"CMS Plus has impacted my organization positively because it gives us the ability to see growth and receive good customer feedback."
"Overall, Webiny Enterprise CMS Plus is a strong option for organizations looking for a flexible, cloud-native, headless CMS, with an API-first architecture, scalability, and content governance capabilities that are particularly valuable for modern enterprise environments."
 

Cons

"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."
"The only issues that we have are, one the cost, two the dashboard is not very intuitive, even though you can drill down within the dashboard, we usually have to gather information from other sources to determine locations and if its a false positive."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."
"With the current hybrid work environment and travel requirements, having a mobile solution would greatly improve our ability to access and navigate Sophos Central on the go, enhancing the overall user experience and making it a more portable solution."
"The product does not have a dedicated MFA."
"Sophos Central must incorporate a diagrammatic graphical user interface for its practices and compliances."
"Sophos Central is not available in small packages in Indonesia."
"Integration with third party applications should be improved."
"The product must be made a little bit quicker."
"Additionally, Sophos Central can be resource-intensive, demanding servers with a minimum of eight gigabytes of RAM, which may pose considerations for larger organizations dealing with legacy applications tied to specific OS and hardware configurations."
"Improving the response time of the customer support team would be beneficial."
"I wanted to highlight that Webiny Enterprise CMS Plus could be improved further by expanding its enterprise-grade analytics and reporting, providing more out-of-the-box integrations with commonly used enterprise platforms, and simplifying some advanced configuration and administration workflows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Very costly product."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"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."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"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."
"The pricing is highly affordable, with no additional costs."
"The product is not expensive."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The price is relatively affordable."
"The cost is quite affordable."
"The solution is moderately expensive."
"The pricing of Sophos is quite reasonable and generally cheaper compared to competitors like Fortinet and Check Point."
"Sophos is more cost-effective than other vendors."
