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.

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.

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"FortiClient is a very lightweight and secure product."

"The performance of FortiClient is impressive."

"The most valuable features are the dynamic connectors, the ability to log into the Linux server, and the automatic linking of the FortiGate web filter."

"If having a fancy system is not important to the person, but he is simply looking for a workable and stable solution, then FortiGate is the way to go."

"The solution is very scalable. It just depends on the number of licenses an organization has. The enterprise management console is related to the number of clients, and the client interface itself is free to download."

"The most valuable features of FortiClient are its VPN capabilities and its use as an anti-malware and anti-spam solution."

"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."

"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Fortinet technical support requires a little bit of effort to improve their services."

"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users who do not have as much of a technical background."

"The support can be improved. They have room to improve by deploying more support resources."

"FortiClient needs improvement in restricting user information and ensuring more secure customer data to better protect source code and reduce the risk of security breaches."

"The tool is expensive."

"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."

"The cost of FortiClient could be better."

"Improvements are needed in the compatibility between different versions, as sometimes the latest version does not work, requiring a downgrade."

More Fortinet FortiClient cons

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

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

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."

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

"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

"The interface is slow."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product is not very economical."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"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."

"Very costly product."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution's scalability is inexpensive."

"The pricing is a six out of ten."

"We are using the free version of this product."

"FortiClient is costly."

"Anyone can download this product for free, but you have to have a FortiGate gateway that you are connecting to."

"The solution is more cost efficient than Cisco, as FortiGate tends not to charge for the client license, which allows one to make free use of whatever is supported on the device."

"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."

More Fortinet FortiClient pricing and cost advice

"It is a cheaply priced product."

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

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
