Featured Reviews

NiteshSharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Automated threat response and behavioral control improve security measures
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. Additionally, multi-tenancy and multi-cloud features are not available and should be considered for inclusion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"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."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"The price could be a little lower."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"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."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"User management could be improved."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"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."

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