Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Easy to scale, good reports, easy to install and has excellent support
It reduces network and bandwidth speed. We cope with our bandwidth in order to use it. The majority of the complaints we receive are about the PC running slower. The network is slower as a result of the increased bandwidth usage. I would like to see the reports simplified for those who are not technically minded. Some of these reports can be confusing, and I'd love to be able to send them to my clients. An IT person would be able to understand them, but a client who does not have an IT background would find it difficult. I would like the language should be easier for them to understand.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."
"The initial setup is easy."
"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"The solution is quite stable and straightforward."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"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."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"As a free product, it is top of its class, with this solution installed I am not concerned about threats to my PC."
"After installing Avast, this did not happen."
"The protection is very good."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The solution is stable."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

Cons

"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."

"I would like to see better protection such as prevention from hacker attacks and fake websites."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."

"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"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."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"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."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"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."
 

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."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"Very costly product."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
