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.

The only thing that it does not include, which I would like to see in it, is the VPN. If VPN was included in Bitdefender Total Security, that would be a really valuable feature to add to the product. The VPN is handy, but to pay quite a lot more on top is costly. VPN is becoming a lot more commonplace and needed, and some competitors are now including it as part of their offering. I have no intention of moving away from Bitdefender Total Security, but I just think that could be quite a valuable addition to have as part of the product.

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."

"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 should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

"The price could be a little lower."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I would find it more useful to receive notifications more often than just reporting on what's happening."

"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."

"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."

"The stability could be improved."

More Bitdefender Total Security cons

"User management could be improved."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"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."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"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."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"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 price of the product is not very economical."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."

"The pricing is quite reasonable. I don't find it expensive."

"It falls in the middle range in terms of pricing—it's neither very cheap nor overly expensive."

"The product is not expensive."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"It is a cheaply priced product."

"The pricing is reasonable."
