Knock on wood we haven't had a instance where we need to bring the Rapid Response team in. But from the meetings we had we are certain that they will be a valuable asset if and when we have an incident.

Secure work environment with this platform has enhanced effective workflow infrastructure. The cost of deployment and configuration capabilities with other security applications lead to main decision of acquiring this tool. The security control dashboards gives reliable performance reports that leads to quick decision-making when there are malware attacks. It gives lifecycle report for most work processes and threat intelligence information that enables my team to track workloads effectively.

We were a Secureworks customer and there were limitations on the platform that caused us to evaluate competitors. We didn't get to far in discussions with Palo but from what we heard and reach about Sophos RR it was an easy decision.
