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.

Endpoint protection has prevented attacks and keeps our daily work productive and secure

I rate Intercept X Endpoint a 10 out of 10 because it is working very fine for my environment and has prevented loss of productivity. I choose 10 out of 10 because Intercept X Endpoint protects my environment well, featuring web control, peripheral control, Threat Analysis Center, application control, and DLP alongside being accessible from cloud services. I advise others looking into using Intercept X Endpoint to choose Sophos for a cloud solution due to its AI and behavior-based detection capabilities. I believe Intercept X Endpoint is the best EDR solution, and I would always recommend it to customers because it is very effective. My overall review rating for Intercept X Endpoint is 10 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."

"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is less hash-based than competitors."

"What I have found the most valuable about Sophos Intercept X is the ease of use with management administration and the solution's ability to stop exploits and ransomware."

"The solution is overall quite good, the services are performing well, and it is very good for those who are using standard PC configurations because it does not block their system by taking up a lot of resources."

"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is cloud management."

"I find the security heartbeat feature with synchronized security very useful. It's a very nice feature that allows you to basically switch off an endpoint. When an endpoint has got a virus or something like that, or it's infected or compromised, you can isolate it from the network, but only if you've got an XG Firewall as well. It also provides ease of use. It is the only antivirus that can recognize 25 out of the 36 ransomware and virus techniques that have been often used in terms of the behavior base using heuristics. It's beautiful, utterly amazing. No other antivirus can do that."

"If they are looking for something that is simple and reliable, then this is a good choice."

"This product integrates well with Sophos firewalls and should be seriously considered by Sophos Firewall clients."

"To date, we haven't had any incidents related to viruses or any types of attacks and we barely get any false positives."

More Intercept X Endpoint pros

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

"The convenience has been great."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"This is a very costly product."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."

"In general, the price could be more competitive."

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."

"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."

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Technical support is too slow to schedule meetings."

"Intercept X Endpoint can be improved in several ways. Currently, it is only available on the cloud, and having it available as an on-premises solution would be helpful for our organization as well as others."

"Should include additional integration."

"When we load Intercept X, it puts a load on the device. When it is scanning, it slows down the device. A system with basic specifications completely slows down till the scan is complete. They should improve this part."

"This solution is not in the high ratings on many of the top review sites. This solution has to be near the top for me to continue using it."

"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."

"It should offer better security updates."

"I have not done it, but integrating it with authenticating the users on the Windows system looks a bit complicated to me. It could be because I don't understand it."

More Intercept X Endpoint cons

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

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

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The price of the product is okay, in my opinion. The tool's cost per user and per annum basis is around INR 700 to 800."

"The pricing is quite expensive compared to the rest. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten; one is expensive, and ten is cheap."

"There is a license required to use this solution."

"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."

"There is a yearly payment to be made. For each client, it costs around 15 dollars. There are no additional costs besides the licensing price we pay to use the solution."

"Intercept X for endpoints is around $35 per user per year. The server version is $95 per server per year."

"The cost of Sophos Intercept X is reasonable."

"While I do not have much experience dealing with the price, we have been entitled to a substantial discount on the solution in our use of it as an educational tool."

More Intercept X Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The license isn't expensive."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
