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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

"The most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It's quite simple, and the advantage I see is that I get the trajectory of what happened inside the network, how a file has been transmitted to the workstation, and which files have got corrupted."

"It is extensive in terms of providing visibility and insights into threats. It allows for research into a threat, and you can chart your progress on how you're resolving it."

"This solution has allowed us to segment the organization to provide better security."

"Device Trajectory is one of the most valuable features. We're able to dig in and really understand how things came to be and where to focus our efforts."

"The simplicity of use is its most valuable feature. You can very clearly see things."

"I am really satisfied with the technical support."

"If somebody has been compromised, the question always is: How has it affected other devices in the network? Cisco AMP gives you a very neat view of that."

"The stability of the solution is perfect. I believe it's the most stable solution on the market right now."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pros

"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."

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

Cons

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."

"The GUI could be improved."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"Maybe there is room for improvement in some of the automated remediation."

"Cisco Secure Endpoint is an expensive solution."

"An easier way to do deduplication of machines, or be alerted to the fact that there's more than one instance of a machine, would be useful... That way you could get a more accurate device count, so you're not having an inflated number."

"I would like them to add whatever makes filtering more advanced in scanning and blocking for malware in emails."

"Previously, there were options to uninstall the agent without a password if you had admin access, and this could be improved."

"You need a certain level of technical experience because the console is not the easiest thing to look at."

"It's pretty good as it is, but its cost could be improved."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint cons

"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 would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

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

"User management could be improved."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

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

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Pricing can be more expensive than similar software that does less functionality, but not recognized by customers."

"Pricing is a big issue."

"We can know if something bad is potentially happening instantaneously and prevent it from happening. We can go to a device and isolate it before it infects other devices. In our environment, that's millions of dollars saved in a matter of seconds."

"The price is very good."

"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 pricing and licensing of the security solutions of Cisco are very good in comparison with the competitors, but sometimes, it's difficult to see all the discounts and other kinds of things. So, you have to be careful, but the pricing is good."

"There is also the Cisco annual subscription plus my management time in terms of what I do with the Cisco product. I spend a minimal amount of time on it though, just rolling out updates as they need them and monitoring the console a couple of times a day to ensure nothing is out of control. Cost-wise, we are quite happy with it."

"I rate the pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
