ABHISHEK_SINGH - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support
The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"The performance of the solution has been great overall."
"The installation was simple, and it did not take very long."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"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."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The convenience has been great."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
 

Cons

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"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."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"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."
"I would like to see better protection such as prevention from hacker attacks and fake websites."
"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."
"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 accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"The solution could offer more protection."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"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."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"I am using the free version."
"I am using the free version of Avast."
"There are no costs other than licensing."
"It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs."
"We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
