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.

Remote access has become seamless and secure while deployment remains simple for our users
Performance could be improved today. People are now moving toward SASE, which stands for Secure Access, Secure Edge Solution. Fortinet also has that offering, which would be easier since it operates through the cloud, acting as a first line of defense. When the user connects to the internet, they connect to the cloud first for posture assessment and monitoring before connecting to the outside world. The impact is significant because nowadays people are adopting SASE. During COVID time, many users were trying to connect back to their office, causing the performance or CPU utilization of the firewall to increase tremendously, which slowed down performance. I have not worked with endpoint telemetry in Fortinet FortiClient that could have been helpful for threat mitigation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."
"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."
"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."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"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."
"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"The EMS server gives us good control and central management."
"The solution is user-friendly, really easy to use, with good documentation on hand, good support, a good price, and it is very easy to set up."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"We find the VPN features valuable."
"This solution allows developers and programmers to connect endpoint users with security."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"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."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution is stable."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
 

Cons

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."
"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."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"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."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users who do not have as much of a technical background."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"The tool could use more features, such as improved antivirus scanning with filters and application control to manage users. If you don't have FortiGate for web filtering and application control, you can use these in Fortinet FortiClient EMS. This gives you two options: on-site and off-site."
"The filtering process could be improved."
"I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
"I have yet to find the benefits of the latest upgraded version."
"I heard that Fortinet is going to enhance the firmware to have mobile versions. One is like Linux long-term support SCS and one with new features, but there is no support here. We spoke with the vendor multiple times, and they said that they will release these features soon."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"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."
"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

"This is an expensive solution."
"I am using the Community edition."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"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 solution is high for the license and in general."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"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."
"It is not that expensive. It was within the range. A dollar per user per month is nothing."
"I don't know it by heart, but it is comparable to other solutions. It is based on the number of clients. It is probably 50 Euros per year per client. It greatly depends on the number of clients you're handling because the more clients you are ordering it for, the cheaper it will be."
"If we pay for the yearly package that includes the FortiGate firewall, then the FortiClient VPN license is included with it."
"The price is okay and competitive."
"The price of the solution depends on the type of firewall you have from FortiGate. I am satisfied with the price of the solution."
"As a technical team member, I am not responsible to look into the pricing matters. These aspects are typically handled by the management team, who have the authority to obtain the necessary licenses based on certain established principles."
"Anyone can download this product for free, but you have to have a FortiGate gateway that you are connecting to."
"An annual license costs about 1.5 to 3,000 US dollars. There are no additional costs."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
