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.

Reliable threat protection is achieved while integration and analysis capabilities need refinement
Cisco Secure Endpoint is very good in machine learning, which allows it to secure offline contents even if not connected to the internet. We haven't encountered a single breach after it's deployed. It controls USB devices and has a separate antivirus solution called Tetra, providing security even for real-time, day-zero attacks through its strong Talos threat intelligence platform.

Centralized encryption management has strengthened compliance and protects sensitive data daily
When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working. There could be improvements specifically about the scanning part and policy part where we have to deploy what we actually require. I would like to see features that include collaboration of all alerts and applied analytics so we can immediately identify issues. Analytics can provide immediate reporting before issues spread, as sometimes one issue captured at the site level can spread to high-level operations. If identified and communicated to the team immediately, it could prevent issues. Usually, downloading and reviewing the report takes too much time, and many engineers skip it due to the volume of tasks. However, analytics could generate alerts and ticketing if integrated with the EMS application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is easy to use."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is malware protection."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the IPS and the integration with ISE."
"For the initial first level of support, we provide it from our side. If there's escalation required, we use Cisco tech for the AMP. And again, they are perfect. I mean, one of the best, compared to any other vendors."
"The solution makes it possible to see a threat once and block it everywhere across all endpoints and the entire security platform. It has the ability to block right down to the file and application level across all devices based on policies, such as, blacklisting and whitelisting of software and applications. This is good. Its strength is the ability to identify threats very quickly, then lock them and the network down and block the threats across the organization and all devices, which is what you want. You don't want to be spending time working out how to block something. You want to block something very quickly, letting that flow through to all the devices and avoiding the same scenario on different operating systems."
"The solution's integration capabilities are excellent. It's one of the best features."
"The VPN is most valuable. It's the best thing in the market today. We can use two-factor authentication with another platform, and we can authenticate with two-factor."
"It is a very stable program."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its technical support."
"The solution is good overall. All of its features are good."
"Very good interface."
"We use the solution for data encryption."
"Endpoint can give you the full details about how the attacker moved into and through your system. That description shows you each and every step up to the cabinet-level."
"The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the antivirus part it offers."
"The encryption is very good."
"Offers very good endpoint security solutions."
 

Cons

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"They could improve the main dashboard to more clearly show me the things that I want to see. When I open the dashboard right now, I see a million things and they are not always the things that I need."
"It's pretty good as it is, but its cost could be improved."
"In terms of the user experience, if the UX design could be much simpler [that would improve things]... if they could make it more intuitive for someone who is not an engineer so that they still can read what's going on in their webpage and understand, that would be something."
"This product has issues with the number of false positives that it reports."
"One of the things that Cisco Secure Endpoint really needs is that it's not just Secure Endpoint, it's a point product, and I think we really need to move into solution-based selling, designing, and architecting. So that we're not worried about putting things on endpoints and selling 'x' amount of endpoints, but to provide a solution that covers all of the remote access and sell them as solutions that cover multiple things."
"The room for improvement would be on event notifications. I have mine tuned fairly well. I do feel that if you subscribe to all the event notification types out-of-the-box, or don't really go through and take the time to filter out events, the notifications can become overwhelming with information. Sometimes, when you're overwhelmed with information, you just say, "I'm not going to look at anything because I'm receiving so much." I recommend the vendor come up with a white paper on the best practices for event notifications."
"The reporting and analytics areas of the solution need to be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex because you need to execute existing antiviruses or security software that you have on your device."
"There are scalability limitations. I'd rate scalability five out of ten."
"In terms of what must be improved, I would say the support, the next feature, and the road map. I think all these must be improved, but the important thing to improve is the support."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working."
"The user interface is a little challenging, especially for beginners. It's hard for new users to understand how to configure the correct access for each company function."
"Integration and support could be improved."
"We had to use an integrator for the implementation of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption. We have two people who work on this solution."
"To improve Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, the user interface could be somewhat more friendly. It is already friendly, but it can not be approached through to the exact issue and just to give you the full detail of each and every port graphically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"Very costly product."
"It can always be cheaper."
"There are a couple of different consumption models: Pay up front, or if you have an enterprise agreement, you can do a monthly thing. Check your licensing possibilities and see what's best for your organization."
"We had faced some license issues, but it has been improved. At the beginning of the implementation, we faced a lot of licensing issues, but now, we have EA licensing, which gives us an opportunity to grow."
"The costs of 50 licenses of AMP for three years is around $9,360."
"Our company was very happy with the price of Cisco AMP. It was about a third of what we were paying for System Center Endpoint Protection."
"I rate the pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"Pricing is a big issue."
"The solution is highly affordable; I believe we pay $2 or $3 per endpoint. It's significantly cheaper than the competitors on the market."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
