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

"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"As a free product, it is top of its class, with this solution installed I am not concerned about threats to my PC."
"Our time to response to malware is now at the lowest percentage possible."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Previously, we were working with Norton, and we switched from Norton to Avast because we believe Avast is far superior and a better solution, especially for PC management."
"The solution can scale well."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The solution is stable."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"The solution could offer more protection."
"I would like to see better protection such as prevention from hacker attacks and fake websites."
"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 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 workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"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."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"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."
"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."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"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

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"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."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
