Perfect correlation and XDR capabilities for network traffic plus endpoint security
The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR. If you are not integrating it or feeding in your network traffic, then you are just buying a normal antivirus which doesn't make any sense. You are paying double the price to use the antivirus feature or to say you have XDR, but in reality you are not using it. The solution should include an on-premises option because some customers want only on-premises. It would be hard, but good to do if possible. Open XDR would be beneficial in the future. Right now, the solution is Closed XDR so cannot communicate with the few new vendors in the Open XDR market.

Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

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."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"If there are multiple alerts, the app will automatically create and rate an event instead of going through each one."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"The platform has significantly improved our organization by enhancing our ability to detect and respond to threats."
"The product is fairly technologically advanced and near the top of the market right now."
"The setup and implementation are easy."
"This product is easy to use."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the central view. With this view, I can see all of the data."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The product is quite scalable."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"The solution could be more secure."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for device management and device control."
"When we connect to the solutions' website they block out our VPN connection. This causes us some difficulties."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"It needs more computer resources. They should have more anti-spam features."
"There were issues with the cloud management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a yearly renewal."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"I am using the Community edition."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The product is available at a low price."
"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It is less costly compared to competitors."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
