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.

Has a free version, is secure and reliable
I'm a consultant. I recommend free Avast, then ESET. If they want to be more secure, you can go to ESET, the bigger license. If you want to have a cheap license, Avast is good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I do prefer ESET, however. Yet I would recommend either product as they are both pretty good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"Our time to response to malware is now at the lowest percentage possible."
"The protection is very good."
"The performance of the solution has been great overall."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"After installing Avast, this did not happen."
"The solution is quite stable and straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The solution is stable."
"The update process and policy control are good."
 

Cons

"The deployment is pretty hard."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstations themselves."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"I would like to see better protection such as prevention from hacker attacks and fake websites."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"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."
"The interface is slow."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
