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

"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"The installation was simple, and it did not take very long."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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 ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable; it is basically self-monitoring and doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"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."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
 

Cons

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management."
"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."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"The solution could offer more protection."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"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 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."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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 improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a yearly renewal."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"Very costly product."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
