We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Sophos EPP Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos."
"It's very light on the endpoints."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable feature is data loss prevention."
"It is a scalable platform."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"With Sophos, the scanning of viruses and scanning of the disk is done silently in the background."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos EPP Suite is the accounting and reporting services are good and professional. The business features of the solution are very useful, such as the reporting page for clients. It provides a clear understanding of usage, including how much traffic has been used and how much is remaining. Additionally, it's user-friendly and easy to understand. Overall, the solution is good, useful, and has a helpful user interface."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Detections could be improved."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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 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."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"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."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"There could be enhancements made to the DLP."
"Lacks delegated administration privileges for large organizations, and differential permissions for admins."
"Configuring notifications is lagging a bit behind the curve as the product should be able to direct exactly where any notification type is sent."
"The solution could be more stable."
"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"There could be an equipment inventory feature for the solution."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"The solution is not easy to use in comparison to other endpoint security solutions."
